Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would be misleading this House if I attempted to say what the policy is, because I do not know what policy position the Ministry of Education has taken on this issue. However, I undertake to get the Minister for Education to respond by tomorrow afternoon.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. I am unable to produce the list of the allottees who benefitted from the settlement in South Ngariama Settlement Scheme indicating their respective addresses, identity numbers, locations and the acreage allocated, because it will be prejudicial to the court orders issued by the High Court of Kenya at Embu on 6th October, 2009, in a Civil Case No. 71 of 2006 involving Moses Mwea and others versus Kirinyaga County Council and South Ngariama Ranching Scheme, which orders have not been challenged and still

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I have attached a copy of the agreement to the answer, which I will table here. (b) The Question did not specify how far back we should indicate the revenue collected, but I have attempted to go as far back as 1996/1997 on the revenues collected and they were as follows: 1996/1997, Kshs48.6 million, 1997/1998, Kshs22.1 million, 1998/1999, Kshs34.3 million, 1999/2000, Kshs61.8 million, 2000/2001, Kshs59.9 million, 2001/2002, Kshs41.1 million, 2002/2003, Kshs35.8 million, 2003/2004, Kshs32.6 million, 2004/2005, Kshs103.1 million, 2005/2006, Kshs97.8 million, 2006/2007, Kshs99.2 million, 2007/2008, Kshs88.6 and 2008/2009, Kshs60.4 million.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is t true that quite a number of local authorities, particularly those that have tourism as a base, had different agreements, sometimes with different organizations for revenue collection. In this particular case, the issue of inadequate support from this arrangement did come up and the Town Clerk was asked, and I believe he wrote a letter â I am still trying to look for a copy of it, which I can show to the hon. Member and even present to the House. We have advised the council that they can cancel this agreement because there are ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, first of all, let me just highlight that this agreement was signed by the council in 1995. Just for record purposes, that should be noted.

But I must also confess the fact that ...
