Sorry for that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to request Sen. Kembi-Gitura to give us about two weeks. I believe within that period, we will have spoken to the National Treasury. If possible, we will sit with them and get the correct response.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to support this good Motion from our hon. Senator. This is a very serious issue of children having babies. It is happening all over the country. I have just listened to the hon. Ongoro narrating what she sees whenever she goes home and at times when she visits counties like Kilifi. I was also expecting her to mention my county. It appears as if every county in this country has this problem. Thank you, Senator for this Motion. This is a big problem that this Senate should fix and ensure that ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This Motion reminds us that we are not observing what is in the Constitution.

Time has come when we need to carry out a lot of civic education regarding those issues as provided for in the Constitution.

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was also listening to the answer from the Chair of the Committee and I sympathize because may be they never even had time to interrogate the Statement. If at all they did, then a lot needs to be answered. You even heard in the Statement that part of the road has been left for the county to work on and they are talking about 22 kilometres. The Ministry of Roads and Infrastructure owes Kenyans a lot in terms of whatever they are supposed to be constructing and maintaining.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not just talking about the two roads but I believe there are quite a number in Kenya where the Senate needs to tell the Ministry to be much more serious. They maybe saying that the contractors are on the roads---
