from my place, they told me that they did not receive anything, apart from two. That is very unfair. I can see the list has been spread to far-flung places where we do not have musicians. They continue to suffer a lot. With the closure of bars, they do not perform mugithi. Our people are really suffering.

When these payments were made, I want to confess that people did not benefit. I have looked at the list which was given by the Chairman of the Committee and I have seen all the musicians who were paid Kshs10,000. They should have categorised them. When the President said that Kshs100 million should be paid to the musicians, some people, including some of our friends, recorded a song the next morning. I can see them in the list which is not fair. As Hon. K.J. said, the Ministry does not have any data of the musicians. When I met with ...

I would like to request the Ministry of Health to allow some of these people to perform during lunch time up to about 7.00 p.m. They have nothing to eat. They invested their lives to produce music which entertains you. When you went to the Mukurwe wa Nyagathanga Shrine the other day to be crowned as a Kikuyu elder, it was unfortunate that we did not entertain you.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I also want to support and say that 30 years is a short time, especially for civil works. As Hon. Baya has said, we need to extend the period to about 50 years.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I just wanted to support the Chairperson on 2A. I am a Member of the Public Accounts Committee and we are seeing instances where the National Treasury is coming up with their own standard documents and they mess them up such that if we are to implement that contract, the Government loses a lot. I support.
