Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will need your indulgence on this one considering that we will be going for recess tomorrow. I shall respond to this immediately we resume, unless you direct otherwise.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Should a response from the Ministry come earlier than that, beside tabling when we resume, I can still share with the concerned Members.

Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, this House adopts the Report of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs on the Inquiry into the State of Security in the Six Counties of North Rift, Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet,...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the counter response from the Members. In my opening remarks, I made it very clear that there is an acute shortage of motor vehicles. I said that this problem is not just in the sub-county of the concerned Member but...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I think the issue that touch on the helicopter is just an allegation. It is not something that the Hon. Member can really prove. However, having said that, I understand the magnitude and seriousness of the matter. With your guidance, and taking...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I appreciate. First, I apologise to the affected families and everyone who fell victim to the market fires. Hon. Speaker, you note that I have quite a number of un-responded to Statements and the reason being given by the Ministry is that majority of...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Given the magnitude of the situation, I want to be given until Thursday, next week. Meanwhile, I want it to go on record that ever since this happened, the Hon. Member has been on my neck. As you know, he...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am well guided. I will. I also want to add that the State Department for National Disaster Management handles such situations, jointly coordinated by the Ministry of Interior and National Administration.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Disaster management is not in my Committee. I think it is under Hon. Lochakapong.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will. Allow me to mention something. You instructed me to respond on insecurity in Garissa for which, I was also supposed to bring the statement. I want to go on record. While awaiting a statement and taking into account the sensitivity of the...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I have not received it from the Ministry, but I am still following it up.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I will bring the response on Tuesday.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, it was. I have not received the response yet. In fact, quite a number are in line. The Principal Secretary told me that he is working on them. They could be almost 10 in number.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Let me do so next week. Let me just add something. The National Treasury leases a majority of vehicles for the national Government administration officers and our police officers. We have not gotten anything for the last two financial years. I think there was...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am well guided, Hon. Temporary Speaker. However, I want your indulgence considering that you are requesting that the request for statements be dealt with in a more comprehensive manner by the Members who will be appearing before the Committee. Will it then be...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon temporary Speaker. Before I respond as to when I will bring a response to the statement request, as clearly put by the Hon. Member, only yesterday, more or less the same matter was raised in this House by a Nominated Member...

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Chairlady.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) No, Hon. Speaker. It is according to the report that was given by the officers. There is a post-mortem report and we will furnish the Member with a copy.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you may need to guide me. Such statement is normally signed by the Cabinet Secretary and, at the moment, we do not have a substantive one. Hopefully, Parliament will be able to vet them…

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) I am well guided, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Gabriel Tongoyo (Narok West, UDA) Yes, I am, Hon. Speaker.
