Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you want me to walk to the front, I can confirm that I have shoes, socks, and a belt, a pair of trousers, a shirt and tie. There is no way he can get away with that.

(2) The Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) started construction within the road reserves as the contractor, China Wu-Yi Company, was already on site before the PAPs were compensated and resettled.

One of the outstanding things that the Governor said is that the County of Kirinyaga, after all their recurrent expenditure, has only Ksh600m for development in the entire County; a fact that surprised many of us. If there is one county that requires to be guided on how to deal with the issues of recurrent expenditure and make sure that devolution has value, it is the County of Kirinyaga. I welcome them and hope that what they learn here will be showcased very well during the Devolution Conference. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir.
