, we, as Members of Parliament, are leaders. We only requested, and the Assistant Minister confirmed it, that we should be consulted. However, LVEMP and other groups held demonstrations against both Mr. Olago and me due to misinformation that we demanded that this money goes to the CDF. We would like a confirmation from you that none of the money that is for LVEMP has ever gone to the CDF of any Member of Parliament. Furthermore, please---

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Committee on Finance, Trade and Planning did a comprehensive report which was laid on the Table of the House, debated and passed. The documents that the hon. Member is requesting are very much part and parcel of that report and can easily be obtained from Room 9 or Room 7.

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to use the fact that the case is in the High Court to refuse to answer the question? Furthermore, noting that those people were going to collect dry firewood and were shot at, yet we know that the KFS have been making millions out of sandalwood and two of them are Ministers in this House, including in his own Ministry. So, could he tell us why there seems to be a discrepancy between people who are selling sandalwood and these two people who ...

I was going to keep quiet, but he has actually said it. So, bearing in mind that the Assistant Minister has said these responsibilities have shifted, in the two weeks that the Deputy Speaker has kindly given him, could he also tell us the status of the Wildlife Bill, which has been sitting in his Ministry for over two years because that will also answer some of these questions?

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Could the Minister be a little bit more detailed? What agency agreement is there with the KRA? Is it recorded somewhere as part and parcel of an agreement? Could the Minister also tell us whether that agreement was endorsed by Parliament because one arm of the Government cannot take agency fee from another arm of the Government?

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Not only should the Minister bring that agreement but he should also bring the document or anything that approves a Government agency to take a commission from another Government agency. The Minister has also said that they intend to have KRA collect other funds and yet this Authority has problems in collecting funds from taxpayers. There is one taxpayer who has been mentioned in this House who owes the Government over Kshs4 billion but the KRA cannot collect it. This is the case and yet the Minister is asking the same ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister has talked about Modogashe Road. For some reason, Modogashe is totally cut off. There was some time back when the Garissa-Modogashe Road was actually reflected on paper as having been done. Collossal amounts of money were involved and on paper, it was indicated that the works had been done. The Prime Minister has been requested to do an inspection and he promised an audit which he said had been done. Is the Minister aware of any audit? Could the Minister tell us whether on the actual site, the Garissa-Modogashe Road has been done? ...
