people around the parks complaining about. Even in Bungoma, animals descend from the Mt. Elgon region, which Hon. Kapondi represents, to destroy food. They steal goats and cows and they also kill people. The compensation expected has not been forthcoming. We have been told how much has been expended on compensation of people who have suffered loss of property or even injuries. Most importantly again colleagues, we should ensure that the people expected to preserve and protect animals should not harass wananchi. They should not go beating up wananchi wherever they are. They should help wananchi, protect the animals and ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to also make some contribution on the Impeachment Procedure Bill (Senate Bill No. 15 of 2018). Recently, I was expressing my anger and displeasure in delay of Bills. This is one such Bill of 2018 and my other Bill of 2019. I had committed it to the Committee towards the end of 2019. Now that the Impeachment Procedure Bill is before the House, I want to state that I do support it. The Bill is important because it seeks to clearly provide for the procedure and a framework through which matters of ...

has always been the answer when some of these guys get broke. So, there must be clear provision. We must state exactly what will have been committed by one, even if it is a member of County Executive Committee (CEC), Deputy Governor, Governor, Cabinet Secretary, President or his deputy. This must be defined beyond doubt. When we read, we want it to be clear. Nothing should be hidden when it comes to crime or misconduct. They have to be made very clear.

Hon. Deputy Speaker, you have seen so much money being wasted. There has been wastage arising from these impeachments. People travel long distances in trucks carrying many documents to the Senate. You even hear some stories of—I do not want to get into them— how they come to appear before the Senate and they report to some offices in town before they go there. This has occasioned so much wastage. Money that should have gone to development, say, to construction of a road, is wasted on the road to bring witnesses to Nairobi, to the Senate, for no reason. I, ...

I also wanted to mention the fact that as we deal with the issue of impeachment of executive officers, we would also like to address the issue of recalling Members of County Assemblies (MCAs) and Members of Parliament (MPs). That law needs to be re-looked at so that those that are supposed to be recalled are actually recalled. There should not be witch-hunt of any form when you are doing your work. There could be people planning on how to get you out of Parliament or out of the county assembly. So, the law must also be made very clear ...
