Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My empathies and sympathies go to the family and friends who have lost more that 89 Kenyans. This looks like a genocide movie in the famous Hotel Rwanda. It is very sad that religion, as Karl Max said, is the opium of the masses and the poor, as my brother has also alluded. I propose the following to the Government, that, the issue of mental illness and depression is a very serious issue. You even saw the case of Kitengela that is trending. We did the Mental Health Bill last Session and therefore, these ...

It is very sad that as a leader you can allow such things to happen behind your back. Where was the Senator for Kilifi County? Where was the Woman Representative? Where were the leaders from Coast region, including Sen. Faki? I have seen the people alluding that the deaths that happened from 2017 were in the previous Government. It is this Government that has unearthed these grievous things that are happening. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I urge that religious organization need to be vetted. Madam Ida Odinga had made a comment about this in January 2022. I think she might ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know we have a Speaker in the House, but I do not know why Sen. Onyonka is uncomfortable.

I support the Statement by Sen. Sifuna, the Senator of Nairobi. I think that Statement is timely. I agree that Ngong Road is not well marked, especially when you are driving through and you cannot tell whether renovations were done. Just the way I was asking about Mombasa Road lower deck. When it is raining, it is very hard for motorist to navigate through because of poor drainage. You remember when the Jubilee Government governed by the “handshake” ensured that they inflated the Expressway and, therefore, the drainage, design and lighting is very poor.

Additionally, when you look at the Langata Road Interchange, it is not well marked. You have to remember that the lanes also were reduced. It is not only in Nairobi City County, but across the country. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, where I come from, the contractor does the road, they do not do signages, drainage and proper markings on the road. I do not know whether our contractors disappear with it or it is the complacency of the agencies that do not do their job anywhere in the country. This is bad manners that is creeping into the country. A ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wanted your indulgence to raise one or two concerns on the Statement that has been laid on the Table by the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations and the Chairperson of the Committee on Roads and Transport. First, I would have expected the Chair of Roads and Transport, although time caught up with him, to tell us the status of Mombasa Road, repair of the lower deck of Mombasa Road after building of the Expressway. I have heard and seen in the media that the Ministry of Transport, Roads and Infrastructure ...
