We need to bring to this Parliament how much the Government continues to pay up to date on decisions that are made by public officers on account of this Clause that later on the Government is made to pay.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I welcome the visiting delegation of honourable Members from Nakuru County Assembly, my neighbouring county. It is a county at the heart of the Rift Valley, our former province. It is my sincere hope that they will get the full value of their stay here.

These are members of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee. The Serjeant-at-Arms from various county assemblies are here on training at the ...
