Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to confirm that the City of Kisumu does not have the capacity to operate Ober Kamoth Health Centre. While I was the mayor, we tried. It was taken over.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is not answering the question. We are not asking whether we can make a request. It is a policy of the Ministry of Health to take over all public health facilities.

The problems of water hyacinth are not to the same extent in both of these countries. Uganda started the weevil project very much earlier. Why is it that LVEMP-Kenya has been bedeviled by all sorts of mismanagement and lack of transparency? They buy ...
