where if we have an urgent matter such as what Sen. Maanzo and Sen. Kinyua are putting across; the chairpersons of those specific committees can give progress reports? I do not know whether the Deputy Speaker is the chairperson of the Committee on Liaison. For example, if an urgent matter comes before the House today on Thursday, is there a way through your office and secretariat, a progress report can be given at the next sitting probably on Tuesday or Wednesday? Some of these matters are sometimes very urgent; it could be a matter of life and death. Therefore, I ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support Sen. Tabitha Keroche and congratulate her for the Statement on resettlement of informal settlers in Molo, Nakuru County. This issue of squatters arising from forest and infrastructural evictees continues to affect this country a great deal. In the last Session, the former President, Uhuru Kenyatta, committed to allocate Kshs10 billion for compensation of displaced Kenyans, especially those affected by historical land injustices. The historical land injustices continue to be the biggest threat in terms of access to affordable housing and a life of dignity. I agree that there are many Internally Displaced Persons ...

We are not saying the Government should give them chocolate and flowers, but we want them to appreciate the reason they are in the country. In conclusion, Mr. Speaker, Sir, if an African man does not have land, it like you are nobody. That is how we were brought ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to comment and congratulate Sen. Mungatana, MGH, the famous mla mamba . He is doing extremely very well, considering he is a seasoned Parliamentarian. I want to pick it up from where my brother and bishop, Sen. Wambua, has just left. Resource is one of the very crucial and important elements. Anywhere in the world where there is conflict or a difference, the reason behind is resource sharing. For example, the Russia versus Ukraine war is because of resources. In the last Session, the winning and losing counties fought because ...
