Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the allocation for the machines was not a billion. It was below Kshs500 million. The balance was supposed to build sheds in those 40 districts. However, the money was withdrawn by the Treasury and now we have put the item back in the Budget and the sheds will be constructed in the coming financial year.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said and you also interrupted when I was saying that the document for total waiver still lies with the Cabinet. If it comes out today, we will waive the loans. However, at the moment, I am only asking that we restructure, reschedule and waive interest case by case.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the AFC is not there to auction or sell any property for our people. However, I appeal to the borrowers to go to the AFC offices, negotiate and if they do not get anywhere they can advise.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very big undertaking. However, I will discuss with the Managing Director of the AFC to give these people a chance and not to sell any property. I will do so.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I take this opportunity to make the following Statement with regard to the business of the House for next week.

10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Firstly, arising from Members’ concerns over pending Ministerial Statements, let me, at the onset, start by re-assuring the House that in the coming days, I have prioritized the clearance of these Ministerial Statements, some of which have been pending since last year. I have also send written reminders to all affected Ministers and my office is doing a daily telephone follow up on this matter. However, going through the requests, I notice that some of the substantive issues raised have either been overtaken been by events or have been addressed adequately. Maybe we could put some of these to rest. ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in fact, I had two Statements. The second one I am sure will cover what the Member for Gwassi has referred to, namely, the status of the implementation of our Constitution. This was following the request by the Member for Chepalungu who is now in the House. If you allow me, perhaps, I could just go ahead and make that Statement.
