"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker Sir. I rise to support the Statement by “Madam President”, Sen. Beth Syengo, on the regional integration regarding the access to opportunities and improvement of the quality of life and status of the Daasanach Community in Marsabit County. Coming from a very marginalized community, I reiterate and add to the voice of the Senator for Marsabit County that the Daasanach Community is super marginalized. This is a community that spans across three countries; that is, Ethiopia, South Sudan and Kenya. We have realized as pastoralists that those in the South Sudan and Ethiopian side are very well taken care of. They are given the respect and decency they deserve to as citizens of those respective countries. However, the ones in Kenya are living under complete marginalization and abject poverty. They are fit to be living like wild animals. Coming from Samburu County, they are my neighbours. I know that most of them do not even go to school. They are just live like headless chicken in the forest. It is unfair for us to consider our nation as a sovereign State that is taking care of its citizens when we do not ensure inclusivity of all marginalized communities. Article 100 of our Constitution advocates for the promotion of representation of marginalized groups and minority groups. It gives Parliament full power and responsibility to take care of these marginalized groups by enacting laws that protect them. Article 204 of the Constitution establishes the Equalization Fund, which also provides basic services like roads, water, and health facilities. This community considers those things very foreign. Article 56 of the Constitution also states that the State should put in place affirmative action programmes. The other day, we were just discussing the Equalization Fund. These are the communities that were in my mind while I was trying to argue this. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, marginalized and minority groups should be given the right to participate in governance and given special opportunities in education to restore their human decency. Some may argue that the Daasanach people belong to Ethiopia more than to Kenya. However, our Constitution equally gives rights to dual citizenships, and through that, we need to take this matter with the seriousness and urgency it deserves. 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."

Chute, and these people come from their community. So, I beg that whatever report they come up with, we support it fully as Kenyans. This is because we cannot be proud to be a majority community without taking care of the marginalized community."

"content": "Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I support Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s Statement. I know why Sen. Tabitha Mutinda is struggling to talk when the Senate Deputy Majority Whip is correcting. It is a shame being on this side of Government considering what is happening on the ground. It is a big shame that we can allow fake fertiliser to be distributed in Kenya. We know what that means. It is about food security, which will affect all of us even those selling fake fertiliser. Sen. Olekina has mentioned a Nakuru County based company, which we all saw in the media. However, we all know who ran the story; the journalist by the name John Allan Namu. Everybody knows that when he runs a story we need to revisit it again. I am saying so because the story is about Nakuru County. We need to determine whether what he said was true or false. The Senator for Nakuru County is watching day and night to ensure that the county does what is required of it and it is not depicted negatively by those cartels distributing fake fertiliser. As a county, we must set a good example in this country. We have always strived to be number one. If you want to know how to govern counties, come to Nakuru. I will bring that report here and check on the company that was mentioned by John Allan Namu. We all know him and what he does. We deserve to have all the information, so that we do not get lost and say things that sometimes makes us look stupid. I am on it and I shall bring the report here to ensure we all know what is happening."
