Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the action we have taken is that we have asked them to take them back and our quality system is always in place and this was actually discovered because of the quality system that we put in place and anything which happens like this, we take it back. We will make sure that it is not repeated again.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me reiterate that this product was not of quality. The temperatures were 207 degrees Celsius which is very close to the end which is 210 Celsius allowed by our standards but because if they move in the system all the way to the consumers, it might be above 210 Celsius and that is why we asked them to take them back. They were to be re-injected back to the refinery so that it is not put to waste.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not have the exact numbers but I am informed that we have achieved this several times and we have taken the same steps.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have gone to the press and told the public that the product is not contaminated but was slightly higher in temperature and we have assured them that it is not contaminated.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would request the hon. Member to give us the result of the tested contaminated fuel so that we can take action but to the best of our knowledge, there is no contaminated fuel being sold in the market.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think once it is found out that it is contaminated fuel from the pump from which he bought the oil, then we will be able to trace it back through the same but let us get the results and actually see that it is contaminated fuel.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a genuine concern. I assure the hon. Member that we have taken that fuel back and I will be able to share that information with him.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that I will be able to share that information with the hon. Member because it is not part of the initial answer.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to add my voice in supporting this Motion. In 2010, this country promulgated a new Constitution which foresaw a lot of changes in this country. I am glad quite a lot is being done in implementing the Constitution, but a lot remains to be done in implementing that Constitution. I would like to urge ourselves as Parliament and the whole Government to make sure that we implement the Constitution, so that it becomes operational. Unless we do that, what is foreseen in the Constitution about devolution and all the good things will ...

On issues of development, I agree that quite a number of things have been done in this country in terms of infrastructure, but a lot remains to be done. Coming from the North Eastern Province, our people are still disappointed that 50 years down the line there is no tarmac in that part of the country. I urge the Government to stand by its pledge that this financial year, at least, we will have the first 160 kilometres of tarmac. We are told the road between Garissa and Modogashe will be tarmacked.
