Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the matter raised by Hon. Sunkuli is a national security concern. Going further, it is within the realm of NGOs. Most likely, they might have been allowed to operate in Kenya by the NGOs Coordinating Board....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I represent the pastoralists in this Parliament; and over 90 Members of Parliament who come from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) . There is a lot of money in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes, Hon. Speaker. The task that you gave me yesterday was that the County Commissioner and the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) should, this morning, sit and deliberate on the matter of removal of that family from their land. What they have also confirmed to me...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Actually, Hon. Deputy Speaker, the fees were gazetted. It was a means of raising revenue for the State Department. However, there were no concerted discussions with the Committee of Parliament. Whereas it is out in the public domain, we need to review that position because...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to respond to a request for statement that was raised yesterday by Hon. Chonga. There is enough evidence that the County Commissioner and the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) are aware about what the Hon. Member raised about...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Much obliged.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Hon. Wamboka has said that the military is politicised. That is far from the truth. The military has recruiting centres. Even with the new sub-counties that are coming up, that would mean more recruiting centres coming up in...
