"content": "the counties. What Sen. Muthama wants to achieve is to know the identity of the suppliers in Machakos County. We have people who are senior officials in the counties, who trade with the counties either use proxy companies or companies in their name. My county is one of them and I have been observing them. Wherever they are, if they are listening to me, they should know the Senator of Vihiga is seeing what they are doing and I am coming for you. We want to know the real owners of these companies. You will find a company doing all the jobs in the county. They are the ones doing the roads, hospitals and supplying things. As a Senate, we must reign on this. You find Chief Officers and County Executive Committee Members (CECMs) doing business with our counties. All these defeats the purpose and the spirit of devolution. I think the Committee should expand the Statement and do the same for all the 47 counties, so that we ensure that devolution makes sense and that businesses and opportunities that are available in our counties are shared within the counties, not by a few unscrupulous people who do business with our money, who are corrupt in our counties, make money and become billionaires when our people are suffering. I support the two Statements"

"content": "Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me take this opportunity to thank Sen. Beth Syengo for highlighting the issues of the Dassanach Community from my county. They are in North Horr Constituency. These people are super minorities. In Marsabit, we have people who are not only marginalized, they are super marginalised to the extent that even Kenyans do not know if there are people called Dassanach. If you google them today, you will realise that they have been there for many years. During the Second World War, the Italian Panzer Army wanted to invade Kenya through the Ethiopia Border. Fortunately, the Dassanach Community defended that border to the last man. The Panzer Army could not penetrate that border. The same people are suffering today. These people have been called Galebas, some are calling them Merilles, but they are known as Dassanach. When we visited the Dassanach about three weeks ago, we asked them how many of them had identity cards (IDs), the whole community raised their hands because they did not have IDs. The only secondary school they have has classes up to form three. We went to the police quarters. If you go there, you will see something you have never seen in your life. It is completely dilapidated. There is nothing. The police station looks as if it had been bombed. It is like they were in Iraq or even Gaza today. That is a police station in Kenya today. I would like Hon. (Prof.) Kindiki to visit Ileret Police Station to see what is happening there. Those people are completely neglected. The population of these people is about 40,000 as of 2007. They have no access to roads, water, employment, IDs and even hope. I asked the President some time back if these people can be given their own sub-county. That process has started and visibility of public participation has been done. Hopefully, very soon, they will get their own sub- county.
