Sen. Kasanga, who comes from the Kamba community, handle their issues, may be different from the way the Kalenjin handle their issues. Therefore, we need a neutral arbitrator. There are many mediations happening at various places. Regarding the issue of death and time, we can decide to build a mediation centre to handle those issues. This is a very brilliant idea.

The Government can build the mediation centers on neutral grounds that are accessible for people to seek justice. We have been discussing the issue of pending bills in the counties, which has now dropped from Kshs108 billion to Kshs74 billion.

I, therefore, call upon our colleagues to support this Bill. It is an important Bill and we should have a conversation on it. I know that this is not the end of it.

baada ya mikutano ambayo ilifanyika jana, deni la wanakandarasi limeshuka kwa mwaka huu kutoka Kshs108 bilioni hadi Kshs34.5 bilioni. Ninafikiri, Kamati husika ikiongozwa na Naibu Mwenyekiti ambaye yuko nyuma yangu; Seneta wa Meru, inaweza kushughulikia jambo hilo, kwa sababu inaonekana kwamba Intergovernmental Budget and Economic Council (IBEC) na Baraza la Magavana wanaendelea kushughulikia swala hilo.
