Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kipyegon’s journey to the top is like a fairy tale, having started with a sweep of the world under-18 and under-20 titles in 2011 and 2012, respectively and 17 Diamond League victories since her debut in the League in 2015. With her latest results, she has become the greatest woman runner of all time in the 1,500 metres race in Kenya and the world.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Petition by Sen. Mariam Omar, on behalf of the residents of Mihango. If you look at Article 40 of our Constitution on protection of rights to property and Article 43 on adequate housing, it is very unfortunate that the KPLC went ahead with demolitions without proper recourse of the law. Even if they wanted to acquire that part of the property, they should have at least ensured that the people are compensated.

I remember the case of the residents of Ruai who were evicted during the COVID-19 lockdown. Therefore, I continue to insist that we have a new form of evictees. We used to hear about forest and political evictees. We now have a new crop of evictees called infrastructural evictees, especially in our cities and towns, where an entity wakes up in the morning and demolishes kiosks and people houses. Therefore, I think somebody must be held accountable for the loss of houses by the great people of Mihango. If they violated the law, then, it is unfortunate for the people ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my question to the Cabinet Secretary concerns the role of counties in training and the work of seafarers, especially in counties along our coastal region. I believe it is not the exclusive mandate of the national Government to do so. Secondly, what is the sister Port of Mombasa where they pick best practices in shipping and maritime services? As Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has mentioned, there is, for example, Port of Miami in the United States of America (USA) and Port of Singapore. What partnerships are there to ensure best practices in maritime and shipping services as ...
