Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these are leaders who are at the grassroots level and yet you see the SRC denying them some of their basic rights. It is very unfortunate that they need to beg for car grants and mileage allowance yet they do a very important job. They are always there with the people. They know what the people need. I hope the Gazette Notice that was issued by SRC is annulled by the Committee on Delegated Legislation so that our MCAs continue to get their rightful share so that they can serve our people with distinction. We need ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, just a point of information to the Senate of Kenya. He has mentioned something about doping. I am happy that the other day, the Athletics Integrity Unit (AIU) in Monaco, through President Sebastian Coe, declined to suspend Kenya from participation in World Athletic Championship. This was after the Kenya Government committed to allocate Kshs619 million per year, to fight the issue of rising doping cases in the Republic. I am grateful to the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Sports and the Arts, Cabinet Secretary (CS) Ababu Namwamba - the new broom - also the World Athletics Championship ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Devolution and Intergovernmental Relations, I thought he was providing the Statement on the overview of the Committee. This is because, the tradition of this House - unless it has changed - is that whenever one seeks for a Statement from a Committee, the answer is handled at the level between the Committee and the Member. However, if there is a Report, it is normally Tabled in the House in the later stage unless it was upon your directions. Since, this matter affects Nandi, Kericho ...
