Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am wondering what my colleague Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is lamenting about. He is lamenting about roads which are supposed to be redone; that is, Kitale-Kakamega-Kisumu Road or the Eldoret-Webuye-Bungoma- Busia Road. Indeed, they are being redone.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is on the same issue that my colleague, Sen. Sang, has raised. We have never seen a Senator walking and dressed the way Sen. Murkomen is today.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to mention that it is good that we are responsible in the way we present issues in this House and we do not predict things which do not exist because that thing never took place and it should never be raised, unless you know the people who are coming to attack. I want to mention that it is not good to raise things which do not make sense. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to take this opportunity to thank the Chairman and the relevant Government department for giving this very detailed answer to the question I raised. However, in the item where he talked about interim county officers, I want the Chairman to clarify the procedure that is followed for non-interim staff to quickly transform themselves into permanent members of the county or county assembly.
