On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The business of this House is conducted through traditions and procedures. At any given time, when a document is tabled before the House, it becomes the property of the House.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, already a document has been laid here and it is no longer the property of the Ministry. It is a property of this House now and it opens itself to the scrutiny of the House. The tradition of this House is that we must, first of all, establish the authenticity of that document.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear what hon. C. Kilonzo said? He said that I must have taken a lot of Alvaro. Is the issue now not taking another dimension that the hon. Members might be having some self-interests and are fighting the Kenya Breweries Limited because of the Coca Cola Company?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Malaba and Malakisi rivers run along the border between Kenya and Uganda and drain into Lake Victoria as one river on the Ugandan side. On rare occasions, flash- floods occur on the lower ridges of the Malaba and Malakisi river basin that normally displaces people living within a hundred metres, which is the variance of the rivers. (b) In this respect, we are going to initiate design and feasibility studies. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, are you listening to the answer?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that was also my concern because the consultations were very loud. (b) In this respect, we are going to initiate design and feasibility studies with the aim of ascertaining the actual cost of constructing check dams in those rivers. That will enable us to take advantage of the rivers to benefit the region.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are concerned. We have set up a committee comprising of Ugandan authorities which is called the Sio-Malakisi-Malaba River Basin. It is an initiative that is already going on. We hope that it will take care of the floods. Both countries are really concerned.
