"content": "Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, that information, may not be useful for purposes of this debate. That is just a point of view, because we know we have had an issue with the boundaries. They have their view and we have our view. I am saying that we need peace-building efforts and we support what the President has rolled out. However, he needs to go beyond these good statements and make sure that the national cohesion body which is the agency seized of this is funded appropriately. This is so that the problems along Kitui - Tana River counties, Garissa - Tana River and Kilifi – Tana River are resolved as he promised. The President in this report on the state of security also said that it is the programme of the Government and they will conduct an all-inclusive adjudication and delimitation of disputed boundaries to avert the escalation of conflict. This is written in black and white; that the government will conduct an all-inclusive adjudication and delimitation of disputed boundaries. This is such a heavy statement because he has already stated out all the boundaries that I have mentioned. There are also many other counties which have been affected by this conflict. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the only thing that has not been mentioned---"

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. The only thing the President has not mentioned is where the funding is going to be found in this budget. For example, we know that he is going to present a supplementary budget before the National Assembly. I hope that the money for carrying out this all-inclusive boundary delimitation can be found. This should be treated as a serious national issue. If it is contained in this report, it will be so sad if next year, at a time like this, after the State of the Nation Address, I will be sitting here to debate that this was there last year. Since no money was allocated, nothing happened. I want to urge His Excellency, the President, and those who are sitting and listening to us as we debate this matter that the question of boundaries is a critical issue. We need to find resources within these areas to allocate money for boundaries, and these disputes need to be resolved."

"content": " Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to appreciate colleagues who have taken the time to speak to this Motion and share their key highlights. That is the beauty of the mosaic called the Kenyan democracy. Some will see the good in what this administration is doing; others will see nothing good at all, which is part of our democracy. We must divide and celebrate it as it is. However, as we have been reminded many times, there are certain facts that there is nothing you can do about. There are things that you can debate. Anybody trying to argue that there has not been success in the agriculture sector, yet for the very first time we are not importing common food items that we used to import in so many tonnes, from maize to sugar. There has been a deliberate effort to subsidise production as opposed to The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate."

"content": "subsidising consumption, which was the case in the previous administration, is lying to themselves. The beauty is that the citizens and the ordinary voters in the village can distinguish, and they know what is working and what is not working. The fact that this administration has avoided a sovereign default is something worth mentioning, that has not been celebrated enough times. If it was not for the prudent leadership of the President, chances are we might as well have defaulted as a country and faced grave consequences, far graver than the noise we hear and the statements sometimes generated out of ignorance by people online. I do not know from which parts of the country they come from. People may be out of the abundance of ignorance or totally disconnected from the realities and threats that are posed to this country by decisions that have been made over the years. We must appreciate what has been done and also listen to what can be improved later. Therefore, I want to appreciate those who have spoken to this and celebrate the beauty of our democracy that members have so ably shown this afternoon. I thank you and, beg to reply. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, in accordance with Standing Order No.66(3), I wish to request that we defer the putting of the question until such a time as we may have sufficient quorum to take this Motion to a vote."
