Hon. Speaker, immediately after this sitting, we have a meeting as Finance, Planning and Trade Committee. We will ask our clerk to write to the acting Chief Executive Officer of the CMA and the management of Rea Vipingo. We may have a meeting with them.

But immediately they confirm their attendance, which should be sometime next week, we shall inform the hon. Member.
