"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. This is a general statement regarding the Fourth Pastoralist Leadership Summit to be held in Wajir County. Pursuant to Standing Order 43(1), I rise to make a Statement regarding the upcoming Pastoralist Leadership Summit scheduled to be held from 8th to 10th December 2024 in Wajir County. The Pastoralist Parliamentary Group (PPG) is a Caucus comprising all Members of Parliament from the pastoralist counties with the objective of mainstreaming the pastoralists’ agenda in the national political and policy discourse. Since its inception in 2013, the Pastoralist Leadership Summit has served as a unique forum that brings together political leaders at both the national and county levels. It provides a platform for dialogue on the key issues affecting pastoralist communities, fosters national political consensus and seeks opportunities to align national and county policies with the aspirations of pastoralist areas. The PPG has organised its 4th Pastoralist Leadership Summit to be held from 8th to 10th December 2024, in Wajir Girls Secondary Schools, Wajir Town, under the theme: \"Unlocking Policy and Financing Bottlenecks in the Pastoralist Counties in Kenya.\" This year's summit aims to address critical challenges and unlock the full potential of pastoralism in Kenya. We will focus on key areas that impact pastoralist development, including climate change financing and resilience-building; community land rights; foundations of development: enhancing peace, security, infrastructure, human capital development and public participation in Kenya's drylands; and integrity and accountability: addressing the stereotypes and challenges faced by northern Kenya and promoting transparency. All delegates are expected to arrive at the Summit venue on 8th December 2024, where the Rt. Hon. (Dr) Moses Wetang'ula will officially open the Summit during a reception dinner that evening. His Excellency, the President of the Republic of Kenya and Commander-in-Chief of the Kenya Defence Forces, His Excellency (Dr) William Ruto, will close the Summit on the afternoon of 10th December 2024. Allow me to invite all Hon. Members to join us at this important gathering, where we will engage in critical discussions to strategise on overcoming financing bottlenecks and chart The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
