Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Statement is ready. However, it is only today that we have shared it with the Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. The Statement contains about six tables. I have sought the indulgence of the good Sen. (Prof.) Lesan and he has requested that we allow him to internalise the response and then we can debate the matter tomorrow.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also believe they did a good job. If the fund is to do what it is supposed to, then the proposal by the Select Committee is valid. You would expect that Kshs5 billion sitting with the CAK would not be laundered by the civil servants. It would be used to expand mobile coverage across the country.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I now have my bearings back. I have just come from Western Province. I wish to congratulate the Nyeri County Assembly Members for taking this bold decision. I, however, oppose this motion.
