Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The Chairperson of the Committee is a bit confused. When we talked, we agreed that the Committee should visit the area to verify matters for themselves. I also shared with the Chairperson of the Committee some photographs of the act of arson by the police. The...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding police harassment and restrictions on small-scale mining activities in Moyale Constituency. Hon. Temporary Speaker, Moyale Constituency...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, deaths or no deaths, the police are there to protect the people. Why should there be deaths when the police are there to protect? He is actually admitting failure by the security agencies. The closure is not...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very sad situation, that a body has been detained in a Government public hospital for more than one year. It is not acceptable. I want the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health to tell us if we have a legal policy...

There is nothing out of order. I just wanted to make a small contribution to the debate.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the comments and the response given by the Chairman, I feel that he has not given any answer. At least 65 kilometres of that road lies in my constituency. I also wish to inform the House that when it rains, the Member for Eldas...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. The people of Kenya have spoken. A whooping 98.4 per cent of Kenyans support the entrenchment of NG-CDF, NGAAF and Senate Oversight Fund (SOF) in the Constitution of Kenya. Speaking from the experience of my...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I agree with the sentiments expressed by Members who have contributed. County assemblies should be granted autonomy to make decisions independently without relying excessively on the county executive. When county assemblies lack autonomy, they are unable to exercise effective oversight over the county government. This...

Hon. Speaker, it is disturbing to me as a medical professional that a senior medical professional of the status of Dr Gikonyo can falsely admit a patient to a hospital. Until these allegations have been confirmed, please, hold your horses and stop condemning the hospital, the medical practitioner and other...

Not really, Hon. Speaker. It is true that many sites were never officially closed in practise, but they were converted into some underworld dealings in cahoots with the security agencies, hence denying the local communities the chance to benefit from their natural resource. The people of Moyale agreed to live...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The truth of the matter is that there are many interested parties that are facilitating the continued closure and denying the people access. I will be glad if the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs and the Departmental Committee on Environment, Forestry and Mining visits...
