Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity. First of all, I want to send my condolences to the family of the deceased. This is a very unfortunate incidence. I want to support my colleagues for being united and strong in supporting this issue. This is an issue of laxity, carelessness, recklessness and negligence. It is only being reactive and forgetting what has happened before. The one thing I realised when watching on television is that the ramp is always lowered all the time even in the middle of the channel. This is unfortunate, I do not ...

or were lazy. We have careless institutions. The bandits came killed and ran away. They can come even twice or thrice and we only start running up and down when people have already been killed and livelihoods destroyed. This is an issue which, as a House, we need to address so that something serious is done to show we are proactive, we care and take action before a disaster like the Likoni Ferry happens. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support.

provision of security to the local people because they supplement the regular police at the grassroots level where there are no police stations, police posts or patrol bases. Furthermore, NPRs fight bandits who have been raiding locals to steal livestock in the most remote areas where terrain is bad and without any road networks. The NPRs accompany livestock for grazing. Therefore, they are the first point of defence in every raid that is carried out by bandits or cattle rustlers, which is something that the regular police cannot cope with. Currently, the local residents of these counties live in fear ...

Hon. Speaker, you made a very good ruling on the issue of displaying committee meetings on the screen. It used to be there before, but I do not know why it was discontinued. One problem we have been experiencing in the past is the last-minute change of venue for meetings. You are told in the morning that the venue for the committee has been changed from one place to another. It is very inconveniencing. I think your ruling will go a long way to solve these problems. I hope they will stick to the venue such that when it is ...
