Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have a problem with Local Authority Transfer Fund (LATF). The Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Local Government should come up and tell us how the billions of money which are annually allocated to LATF are spent. We want to see what development that Fund is doing. In my constituency, I have not seen any development at all as far as LATF is concerned. This is really very critical because that is a lot of money. It is more than CDF and we do not see any results out of that Fund.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the station is not a money-generating project.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I responded to part (a) of the Question, I said that Kenya has a unique natural resource equivalent to wine that the Republic of Italy identified in early 1960s. This is a combination of a niche course of a continent that lies in the equator. Such a location has great advantages when performing equatorial rocket launches and when tracking and controlling the launched rocket and satellite from such a site.
