Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has said that the problem is financial. Could he tell us how much money he has sought from this House this financial year towards the recruitment of teachers in the country?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think the House is being taken for a ride. The Assistant Minister is too casual: He says he does not have information and he does not even ask for time to go and get the correct information. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to stand up and say that he does not have information and fail to tell us when he will provide that information? Should you not defer this Question to enable this Assistant Minister to do some homework and bring proper answers to the Question raised?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You heard the Assistant Minister talk about the Questioner not being sober. As you can see, if there is anybody who is not sober, certainly it is not the Questioner but the Assistant Minister himself. He has given a list saying the cattle were returned to Merus and Samburus without laying on the Table of the House the names of the Meru, Samburu or Borana who were given the cattle. You do not get away by simply mentioning Meru, Borana and Samburu. Give names!

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Minister does that next Thursday, I want to remind him that last Session, he undertook to provide a Statement with regard to Mr. Murumba Werunga who was sacked as the Clerk of the PanAfrican Parliament (PAP) under very dubious circumstances. There was an undertaking that we will make a Statement. Could we get it on Thursday?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, you would have noticed that the Minister has read a detailed statement which he has not availed to me. Given that we are already in the Prime Ministerâs time, may I ask that I make my clarifications tomorrow at 2.30 p.m. after seeing the document he has been reading which he has not had the courtesy of extending to me?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, part "b" of the Question asks for the number of persons killed in the operation, the circumstances of the killings as well as the identity for the victims. It is there.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if there was intention to make public information available to this House, there would be no need to hide a statement that has been read. Nevertheless, you will have noticed that the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance only answered specific item regarding the Ministry of Education. What I gave yesterday and pointed out were a random selection of 20 Ministries arising out of 200 line Items. It has nothing to do with Mr. Imanayaraâs advisors. It has everything to do with the way the Budget process is governed in this country. The Ministry of Finance ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, there are 200 inconsistencies amounting to Kshs9,677,189,511. I have been able to show that the Estimates that were laid on the Table of the House, the figure given is not the figure contained in the Estimates that were approved last week. That is a matter of concern, not only to this House, but to Kenyans that this Minister can come to this House and purport to seek extra funding on the basis of information that is not accurate, given the basis of the estimates that we approved last year---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, unlike him, I am missing a copy of the entire 200 items, so that he can see because there is nothing to hide.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will go with the first ten on my list of 200. Vote No. R01, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, Sub- Vote 010, Head 001, Head title: Office of the President, code title: Hospitality supplies. This is found on page four of the Estimates that were approved last year. The Estimates in the list that was tabled in the House by the Minister last week, the approval was for Kshs4,900,000 even though it was Kshs5,600,000. This gives a difference of Kshs700,000. With the second Item, R01, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and ...
