Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale showed me that particular request for a Statement for the first time yesterday. It appears that something somewhere did not work out that the Committee has not been able to obtain that Statement.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the practice has been, Statements are sought from Chairs of Committees and you know my Chairperson is the Senator for Busia and Attorney-General emeritus .

Okay, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am just making an observation that it is important for the Chairperson to know that we amended that Section of the County Allocation of Revenue Bill and before they bring to this House those proposed ceilings, we would have no ceilings as at now.

We have not approved them and, therefore, there are no ceilings this year.
