Sen. Karaba I call upon the Mover to reply.

Sen. KarabaA having a meeting today, half of the House is not there. I think we can compare the two days; yesterday and today, and the subject matter to be discussed for the two days, the subject matter for today is very significant. That is the reason why I find...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand on an issue which you have just ruled on; Sen. Wangari’s concern about Kenya Airways. That is more about the Sen. Karabawhat the Senate has done.Implementation itself is a stage of trying to achieve what the Senate has done. We need a...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can intervene now because I was also a Member of the Select Committee. My concern is the implementation level. The Report containing the recommendations was Tabled in the House. Who is supposed to follow up on the implementation? If it is the Senate...

Sen. Karaba: Sen. (Prof.) Lesan. Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, I reiterate that in the past, Kenya has appointed some personnel to handle the issue in Sudan. Since this was a military issue, General Sumbeiywo was the arbitrator on the ground. I believe he did a wonderful job during the...

Sen. Karaba The Vice- Chairperson. Sen. Adan Adan.

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I remember alerting the Chair then about this question. I told him that I thought that this question was supposed to be handled by the Chairman of Water and Irrigation Committee. I asked this question in the Ninth Parliament, I was given an answer...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Speaker then said he would redirect it to the right Committee. I do not know why it has appeared now in the Order Paper. (Senators consulted loudly)

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am worried because I do not think that is the right Committee.

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to go by your direction. The advice that you have given supersedes mine. We will, therefore, go by what you have suggested to do. Over this question on sewerage---

Sen. Karaba Much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. (Statement deferred)

Sen. Karaba It is not possible--- Sen. KarabaI thought she concluded. Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suppose so because the response was supposed to address the issue of the airstrip.

Sen. Karaba Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank Sen. Sijeny for that elaborate answer. However, it is misleading in the sense that even the engineers themselves are attesting to the fact that they could not complete that section because of poor weather conditions which still persist. Why are they saying...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have very many Sudanese in Kenya and more so where Hon. Garang used to teach. He was a headmaster of a school in Karatina, Nyeri County. The Government can also retaliate by doing something!

Sen. Karaba We are just contributing to this debate. Order, Senator! What are you suggesting? Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are harboring very many Sudanese here. I am suggesting that talks be held by the Opposition. Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka is the roving ambassador for the other side. What is...

Sen. KarabaOrder, Members! There is what we call a contextual meaning of a word. There is no war between South Sudan and Kenya. The problem is internal within South Sudan. You should understand the use of the word in that context, especially when the word was never extended anywhere.It was...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senate Minority Leader, Sen. Wetangula. He was once the Minister for Foreign Affairs. At one time, he was marooned somewhere in Central Africa where he lived like someone who was besieged. He could not leave the airport due to problems emanating from...

Sen. Karaba Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I forgot. I wish to present a rider on it. May I do so with your permission? It is on the same issue. The other day, it was reported in the media that in Oldonyo Sabuk River, there are young people who retrieve bodies....

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for this important question that has been raised. Last weekend, we buried a Kenya Defence Force (KDF) soldier in my county who had been killed under mysterious circumstances. He had worked in various places including Somalia. It is sad that a soldier can serve...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to add my voice to what has been raised by colleagues. The magnitude of abductions and extra-judicial killings that we are experiencing in the country qualifies to make the matter a national crisis. This is not the time for finger-pointing, blame game or...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the issue of the people reported to have been abducted and killed, extra-judicial killings and other disappearances is very disturbing. I would like the Chairperson to come up with two
