Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in simple commercial arrangements, when an amount is quoted, that amount is valid for a certain period of time and it is paid for. Could he inform the House that this is not an additional cost? At that time it would have been an additional cost because of variations and inflation. I want to inform the Assistant Minister that this is the same thing that has happened in my constituency. We paid the amount, and they did nothing. The KPLC only came up after three years, quoting double the original amount. Could the Assistant

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is misleading the House. We would like him to go back to the day that they paid the deposit and asses the amount as it would have been on the day the deposit was paid and not three years later. Could the Assistant Minister inform us that the Kshs110, 000 he is claiming, would have been payable if they had done the connection on time and not a forward value, taking into account inflation and change of prices?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Prime Minister kindly inform the House whether he is aware that readers of The Star newspaper have been arrested this morning on Kenyatta Avenue just by reading it? Is he aware? If that is the case, can they be released, because they have done nothing wrong?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is a new Constitution in this country, but we are still living in the old one. This document was presented on Thursday. First, I do not think you had time to go through it. But the few people who have tried to go through it are shocked. First, the Committee has done a tremendous job over a very long time and I think that should not be taken away from them. The past always determines the future. We cannot keep mourning about the past. However, we cannot keep mourning about the things we should ...

As a Kenyan, anybody who sucks the blood of Kenyans, I do not think should enjoy the stolen loot that they have taken. We will find a way to make sure that we, in Africa, also have our ways of ensuring that people can be followed in other ways other than perhaps the courts of laws, the ICC and others. We have our ways. I think that it is very important that the spirit and letter of the Constitution is observed in its totality and our change of attitude must be there. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, just the other ...
