Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker. I stand to support this Motion which is already belated. It should have come immediately after we embarked on devolution. Nevertheless, it is very important. The training is an aspect that will make or break county governments. Looking at the way it is being handled...

appreciate that the Government has tried its best because in the last one year or so, the number of police officers recruited runs to more than 15,000, but still it is considered not sufficient enough to cover each and every part of this country. It is good also to appreciate...

What do you say, Sen. Haji?

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, what is your point of order so that we can, maybe, get one answer on that issue? I hope this will be the last one.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the statement of clarification sought by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, will be done as soon as possible. As to the question of forensic testing, we are all aware that we had a problem in this country. This issue is being addressed and, hopefully, it will be concluded...

Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, you know we cannot go on with this issue continuously. Let me hear you for the final time now.

[The Deputy Speaker (Sen. Kembi-Gitura) in the Chair]

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to congratulate hon. Lesuuda for bringing this Motion, which is really of interest to the economy of this country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, more than 75 per cent of this country falls under what is categorized as arid and semi-arid. The major activity...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, I beg to support.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Bill. However, I will do this with some exceptions. I would like this Bill to be considered as interim because the figure we have here is not what the Senate had proposed. I only consider it proper that the...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement, I would like the following to be given:-
