"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations regarding the proposed 10 per cent land rate policy announced by the Kisumu City Manager during the Nyanza International Investment Conference held at Ciala Resort from the 6th to 8th February 2025. The Nyanza International Conference serves as a platform for regional leaders, professionals and stakeholders at international, national and local levels to showcase the economic potential of the region and present investment opportunities to potential investors. However, the participation in the conference required an entry fee of Kshs10,000 per person making it inaccessible to many local residents. During this year's conference, the Kisumu City County Manager proposed a 10 per cent land rate policy for Kisumu County without conducting meaningful public participation beforehand. This lack of public engagement contravenes the principles outlined in Articles 174, 184 (c), 118 (1)(a), 196(a), 201, 135 and 232 (1)(f) of the Constitution. In the Statement, the committee should- (1) Provide the justification for introducing the 10 per cent land rate policy, including the legal basis for implementation. (2) Explain why the County Government of Kisumu did not conduct meaningful public participation in line with the Constitution and the statutory requirements before coming up with a new land rate policy. (3) State whether the county government will suspend further implementation of the policy until extensive public participation has been conducted. (4) Clarify the criteria methodology used to determine the proposed land rate. (5) Outline measures put in place to ensure that the policy does not disproportionately burden local residents, particularly vulnerable groups.

"content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations regarding the insecurity facing the residents of Samburu North Constituency in Samburu County. In the recent past, there have been grave issues of insecurity in Samburu North Constituency, particularly highway banditry and other criminal activities, including attacks on law enforcement officers.

"content": "Asante, Bw. Spika. Nimesimama kwa mujibu wa Kanuni za Kudumu No.51(1) ya Kanuni za Bunge la Seneti kuomba kauli kutoka kwa Kamati ya Kawi kuhusu kupotea kwa nguvu za umeme katika Kaunti ya Mombasa na viunga vyake, hususani mwezi huu mtukufu wa Ramadhan. Kutoka mwanzo wa Mwezi huu wa tatu ambao unaenda sawia na mwezi mtukufu wa Ramadhan, jiji la Mombasa na viunga vyake limeshuhudia kupotea mara kwa mara nguvu za umeme. Hii imeadhiri pakubwa mipango ya ibada na biashara kwa wakazi ikizingatiwa kwamba mwezi huu waumini wengi wa dini ya Kiislamu wanahusika na ibada ya sala ya usiku inayojulikana kama Taraweeh . Vile vile, biashara huongezeka mwezi huu kwa sababu watu wengi huenda madukani baada ya sala za usiku. Hivyo basi kupotea huko kwa nguvu za umeme kumeadhiri pakubwa sala pamoja na biashara. Katika kauli hiyo kamati ileleze- (1) Chanzo cha kupotea kwa umeme mara kwa mara katika mwezi huu mtukufu wa Ramadhan na ichukue hatua zinazofaa ili kuhakikisha kwamba wananchi wanapata huduma wanazostahili. (2) Iorodheshe hatua ambazo Serikali inachukua kusuluhisha tatizo la kukatika kwa umeme jijini Mombasa ikizingatiwa kuwa Waisilamu wanashindwa kutimiza maombi yao ya usiku na wafanya biashara wanapata hasara kutokana na ukosefu wa umeme. Asante."
