Mr. Speaker, Sir, although I have not received the written reply, I beg to ask the Minister for Agriculture the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister confirm that the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) is currently selling maize to millers at a lower price than the purchase price, hence incurring losses? (b) How does the Government plan to recover the difference?

Madam Temporary Speaker, the route from Ndaragwa to Nyeri passes through Kieni, and we have had several incidents of insecurity in the past. Could the Minister confirm that he will beef up security by giving the police stations along that road, including Mweiga, a vehicle for patrol?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am happy that today, I have received a reply to my Question. The fence I am referring to is the one around Mount Kenya. I agree with the Assistant Minister that the fence around the Aberdare National Park has been constructed although monkeys have no problem jumping over it and going to people's farms and destroying crops. The construction of the fence around Mount Kenya had started, but it halted after four kilometres had been fenced. It is the wananchi who were doing the fencing. They were told to work for food, which was not available ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when will the 395 kilometres be fenced? So far, it is only four kilometres that have been fenced.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has not answered by question. When do we expect the fence to be constructed? Is it in January, February, March, next year or two years to come? At least, the people should know!
