But the Government wants to spend Kshs128 million to do the same work. Could the Minister explain to the House why they are choosing a company which wants to charge Kshs128 million for consultancy?

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to clarify this matter. The Minister is just repeating what another Ministry did.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, on behalf of Mr. Khamasi, I beg to move:- THAT, the Title be amended by deleting the word "Western" and inserting in place thereof the word "Kakamega". The reason for moving this amendment is because the university is located in Kakamega Town, which is the Provincial Headquarters of Western Province. The name "Western" is common all over the world.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Assistant Minister has told this House that the Government is promoting, among other crops, sugar-cane farming in Butula Constituency when we know very well that the factory has not taken off for the last 20 years. Why is the Assistant Minister promoting sugar-cane growing in that constituency when there is no factory in Busia?
