I request Sen. Mwaruma to begin the process of bringing an amendment. He may team up with his neighbour, Sen. (Prof.) Ekal, because at the time we were discussing the Petroleum Bill, he had very serious concerns about what was happening in Turkana County. This presents to him an avenue through which he can influence policy. I get the sense that now is the time to talk about how resources should be shared.

The people of Turkana County are being told that they are not supposed to receive the kind of allocation they get in the Division of Revenue. If that is the case, then you should also deny them your oil. Let them pay dearly for it. That is the same case for Taita-Taveta County, given the kind of revenue they receive, despite the fact that they contribute immensely through tax. Mining companies that operate in Taita-Taveta pay huge amounts of taxes, but what they receive is only a small portion of it.

Therefore, I challenge Sen. Mwaruma to think along those lines. I support this Statement.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support this Report. This is one of the reports that has, unfortunately, stayed for quite a while listed on our Order Paper. I have taken time to interact with Members of this House who are Members of PAP. My good friend, Sen. (Dr.) Ali, speaks with a lot of confidence about the things they discuss at this temple of Africa, as it is referred to in the document. This is the place where Africa meets, speaks about its problems and tries to find ways of seeking solutions to the challenges that continue ...

thing to do”. Where they can challenge each other about business, speak about ease of doing business in Africa, exploitation of Africa, issues of corruption and youth and unemployment. These are the many issues that continue to face this continent. Madam Temporary Speaker, in my humble opinion, I do submit before this House, that until such a time that each and every resident country of the African continent sits, doctrinates and makes it part and parcel of their laws that the PAP is the premium institution in terms of African parliaments where people can sit and their resolutions can be ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the beneficiaries of the war that continues in DRC are not Africans. It is countries of the West and yet, because of not ensuring that we have proper institutions that have been set up in Africa like the PAP, we continue to have conflict in Africa. How difficult is it for us, as a country to sign up and ask our presidents when they meet for the AU Summit, to commit themselves and set up a proper PAP that is true to the meaning of the word “Pan-African”? They can then sit down and come up with ...

It is not fair when you read how the PAP continues to challenge us on the things that we need. I have seen that the Pan African Parliament is also calling upon the AU to help conflicting parties in Africa to resolve their differences to allow refugees return to their countries and also set up effective early warning systems to detect and prevent eruption of conflicts. What is the position, say of those who have retired from office? You know we have a very interesting discussion in our country right now, where people are telling our President that he is ...
