    "content": ", one of the greatest impacts that we left was that our Justice and Legal Affairs and Human Rights Committee was able to visit Kitui Prison and engaged with the people that had pending bail hearings and rulings. Eventually, they were able to secure the release of those citizens. That is a lasting impact that has remained with the people of Kitui County. As we leave Turkana, it will be important for the various committees to ask themselves what it is that is of impact to the people of Turkana and Kenya as a whole that they leave while they depart from this particular county. I am aware that the committees have noted the challenges that are faced by the people of Turkana. I have appreciated the comments that I have seen from them. I have seen, for example, comments from Members of the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, who are scheduling to invite the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries to respond on why the nationally celebrated fertilizer subsidy programme has not yet commenced in Turkana County. Turkana is part of Kenya and they deserve to get the fertilizer subsidy programme. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we interacted with the Cabinet Secretary for Energy yesterday morning. It cannot be that one of the greatest sources of energy that is used across the country is energy deficient and the citizens of this county have to survive without the supply of the national grid in many of their homes and even institutions such as the county assembly. I hope that as the Cabinet Minister promised this House, he is going to ensure that that question is resolved and the people of Turkana will have the Senate of the Republic 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 Services,Senate."
