Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, I do not have a statement to make in the House but deliberations are going on in the Committee. Perhaps, we could request the indulgence of the House to allow us to complete what we are doing. What is happening in Nandi is a health crisis and we are working speedily to try and resolve it. Indeed, without divulging what is going on in the Committee, there is almost a resolution to that crisis in Nandi but we will give a statement to that effect. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is precisely what I was trying to do, by reporting the progress of what happened but according to your instructions, I was pre- empting what the Committee is doing.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just used that terminology because it is a big task to get answers to these questions on time. We get the answers but it takes time. It is like a bit of strain to do that so the word “struggle” refers to the difficulty encountered in trying to get the answers. Otherwise, it is simple English and I do not understand why my colleague professor does not understand it.

As I said, we will try to get the answer here on Thursday afternoon.

I was not in the House last time when this issue was raised but I am aware that the Chair of the Committee on Health, Sen. (Dr.) Kuti, spent part of his weekend addressing this issue. Unfortunately, I am unable to report to the House the results of these efforts.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, to avoid any ambiguity regarding the question by Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo, was he concerned with the construction of a cement company?
