Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I did not participate in the discussion between the hon. Member and his group and the Permanent Secretary. So, I am not party to whatever they discussed. I have given my commitment that immediately the Treasury gives me about Kshs1.8 billion, I will endeavour to do my work. I hope the discussion they had will bear fruits to this end.
