Mr. Speaker, Sir, those are the prayers. A total of 4,920 clinical officers work in dispensaries; 143 in health centres and 349 in Level IV hospitals as per the recent study by the Ministry of Health.

The clinical officers are primary healthcare providers. To emphasise for the benefit of the House, most health centres and dispensaries do not have a medical doctor. Most of them rely on clinical officers. So, these are primary healthcare providers that we have at lowest level of dispensaries. Therefore, I call upon the relevant Committee to expeditiously deal with this matter, so that we avoid many Kenyans suffering from not getting the basic healthcare from dispensaries to Level IV hospitals.

Mr. Speaker Sir, I have seen this Petition from the Kipsigis Clans Organization. This is a very critical Petition, considering that in Nandi County, we also have similar problems of historical land injustices. This House adopted a report on historical land injustices for the Talai, as we stretch from Kericho County, where my good friend Sen. Cheruiyot is Senator, all the way to Nandi. The issue of historical land injustices does not only affect the Kipsigis and Nandi communities, but it cuts across the country. This issue is very important. Following the adoption of the report on historical land injustices, ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity. From the outset, I congratulate Sen. Kasanga for this wonderful Bill. I have interacted with this Bill for some time now through my Committee. I am happy that, in her own remarks, she has overwhelmingly noted various aspects that we have raised at the Committee level. We look into the future as the Bill comes to full life on some of those critical issues being handled properly. This Bill is timely considering that the Judiciary and the Chief Justice David Maraga, as we speak, is meeting in Naivasha today the various ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is quite ironical that the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya, Hon. David Maraga, is meeting the Executive, yet barely a week ago, he was complaining about the same Executive imposing budget cuts against the Judiciary? These things are funny.

The other day, the Chief Justice of the Republic of Kenya and the Ministry of Interior and National Coordination, investigatory and prosecutor powers let by the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP), Directorate of Criminal Investigation (DCI) and Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) had a discussion on how the Judiciary is slowing majorly the economic crimes and the corruption cases. A few weeks ago, the same Executive were purporting to cut the budget that is meant for the Judiciary. It is in the public domain that the Chief Justice complained that the cutting of resources that are meant to assist in ...

Kenyans should understand is that at its root, the Alternative Dispute Resolution Bill is giving credibility and legality of the traditional dispute resolution mechanism. We are just putting it to pen and paper, but many communities in the country have been practicing conciliation, mediation and many others. It starts at the family level to the communality level. Even when somebody is getting married, it is part of negotiations. Those are some of the issues. Kenyans should understand that the ADR Bill is as simple as that. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, on the issue of classification of cases that can be ...
