"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I join my colleagues to support the Statement by Sen. Essie. This House has discussed issues to do with the disappearance of Kenyans many times. It is a very unfortunate situation. The security of this country is going out of hand. It is high time that the security officers took charge of the security of this country. There are so many foreigners who have made Kenya a heaven, enjoying and doing things in their own way. There are so many people who ran away from their countries and hiding in this country. They are investing in this country with money looted from other countries. It is a high time we audited the people in Kenya so that we can be safe. As it is, we keep on hearing of people being killed and disappearing every day and we do not know who is doing it. It is high time the security officers took charge of this country. We must also know the foreigners and Kenyans because we are not able to know who is who. Concerning the case of governors, as the Chairperson of the Committee on Devolution, what is going on is a very unfortunate situation. The Senate is there to oversight counties. It is our mandate. The governors must appear to answer questions on whatever is happening in their counties even if they are called a hundred times. Otherwise, what is going on in this country today is that we struggle hard to get more money to go to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and Audio Services,Senate."

"content": "the counties by fighting for their rights, but unfortunately, they see the Senators as unfriendly. That should not be the case. I know it is not all the governors that behave that way. Some of them are law- abiding. However, what is happening in Isiolo County is very unfortunate. The other day, I received a call from MCAs of Isiolo County. Some of them have been removed from committees by the governor and his team. That is stooping too low. The governor has no business in micro-managing the assemblies. We still have lacunas in the County Government Act that we needed to look at and rebuild so that we can take action against the governors. Even on impeachment, the governors are impeached, but they run to the courts. They continue to work and are free. We have to review the law. With those few remarks, I beg to support Sen. Cherarkey's Statement. Thank you."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir, for this opportunity. First, I wish to comment on Sen. Okenyuri's Statement. As a young person in this country, it breaks my heart when it constantly seems as though we cannot contain the problem of abduction of young people. I want to enquire whether there is anything this House can do for resolutions that we have passed at a presidential level. That is not followed through. Mr. Speaker Sir, in July, we passed a resolution here at the heart of chaos in this country. Those resolutions went to the President of this country. Among the issues that were supposed to be dealt with apart from the compensation of young people who were affected during the Gen Z movement, we also strongly implored upon the President that the issue of abductions be responded to. The reason why I am bringing this up is because the abductions that are happening in this country are happening at two levels. One is within structured authorities of governance in this country. Number two, outside those structures. If there is a force in dealing with the issues of abductions within the structure of security in this country, there will be an equal response to those who are doing it outside the structure. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to enquire if perhaps the Senate Majority Leader can help us with this. If we end up having some resolutions in this House that can pick on some of these issues that we are seeing in terms of abductions in the country, that sometimes end up affecting the security infrastructure, could we know how, if they are not responded to-- -"

Oketch Gicheru talking about abductions happening within the structures of Government and outside other structures. There is an allegation being placed there; I am not even sure whether he is targeting an individual in the Government because he has also mentioned the President at one point. Can he substantiate these structures within the Government where he is saying that they are being used for abduction? Perhaps he knows of a particular unit that he can mention so that we, as Senators, can come out and call it out. We would like to know what the unit inside the Government is. If he cannot substantiate, he must apologise and withdraw because this is the ‘Upper’ House. This is not the National Assembly. This is a House of records and procedure; we carry ourselves with facts. Let him substantiate."
