Mr. Speaker, Sir, what my officers in the field have told me is that they have 2982 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES August 7, 2007 done grading in Muhoroni Ward to the tune of close to Kshs600,000.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government appreciates the fact that trade is important. We are going to ensure that there is a quicker flow of the trucks. As they are cleared across the border, this congestion will be reduced.
