Mr. Speaker, Sir, we apologise for the inconvenience caused. But by 11 a.m. this morning, we had not received what he had requested for. But I managed to get it from the other section and now the Question is being dealt with. I want to promise him that we are not handling it casually, as he has said. We will bring a proper answer to this House on Thursday. That is exactly what I agreed with the hon. Member.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am hearing this for the first time, but I know that the write off for this amount was approved. It is supposed to have been written off. If the hon. Member has evidence to that effect, I would like him to give it to us and then we will see what we can do.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the hon. Member's case, we have a branch at Machakos, which has the authority to process and give loans. They do not need to come to the AFC headquarters to get the money.
