    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda on the general welfare of national Government administrative officers. These are the eyes of the Government at the grass-roots. They encounter challenges day in and day out. Take, for instance, the case of local assistant chiefs and chiefs. Initially, there would be security in their areas of operation. Right now, the chiefs and assistant chiefs are left with the swag cane, which they carry around in all the meetings they engage in. As a country, we need to prioritise their welfare. They need regular training, so that they are conversant with recent happenings in terms of conflict resolution. We also need more security, especially in the border areas. Sometimes these officers are attacked by criminals who are hostile towards whatever they are doing, which is largely affecting their work, especially in the fight against illicit brew. Also, I would like to comment on the Statement by Sen. Joe Nyutu on the Grade Eight young child who was killed. We are losing the future of this country. Every day, you read the statistics in the national newspaper of children who are either being molested or trafficked or children who are being sold, even before they get to know what is in for them in this country. I also wish to comment on the Statement on dumping. The issue of dumping is largely affecting county governments across this country. Low sanitation causes disease outbreaks, which would otherwise have been prevented if we had avoided disposing of waste products. So that we have a population that is responsible enough to avoid dumping, the Government should ensure that we are providing it in marketplaces or places where we are likely to encounter dumping places for disposing of waste products. 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."
