Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know, but this is just an addendum. I suggest that if there is anything that the Cabinet Secretary would have done for our country, please, do spatial planning on where all our minerals are. Do an audit for that so that if an investor wants to come, for example, to Kisii County, and they want a soapstone, they can just get online, know what it is, and you give the conditions and terms on how they engage.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, right now, the amount of money meant ...
