Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry to interrupt my good friend. However, I thought that since some of us left university recently, it would be good for the Senate to listen to our wisdom on this issue because we are still repaying our loans. So, it would be unfair to proceed to allow the Chairperson to comment, yet yours truly is here and is undergoing the same experience.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I support the Statement by Sen. Wetangula. I had thought about making a similar request but my senior, Sen. Wetangula, was way ahead of me. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

It is unfortunate for some of us who just graduated from universities. We are still repaying loans but the Ministry wants to come after us. I think that is lack of creativity. The Cabinet Secretary for Education should be more creative and ensure that those people are accommodated. We should ensure that the youth of this country do not suffer because there are many unemployed people in this country. If you walk to any Senator’s office, you will find many envelops. Our offices have turned into employment bureaus. In any function that you go to, you meet five to ten ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I had not finished when Sen. Ochillo-Ayacko raised that issue. However, I am happy that senior counsels; Sen. Orengo and Sen. Wetangula have done justice in responding to that. Secondly, my Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights will see what to do. We will deliberate at committee level so that we protect the office of the Chief Justice. In future, we would not like to see a situation where the Chief Justice will walk in the streets or attend public rallies and say: “Thank you, you have brought development to our community”. I agree ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Matters of health are very crucial to all of us. This issue is not exclusive to Isiolo County, but it affects many of our counties. Therefore, at the end of the day, we need a solution to it.

Health is one of the key devolved functions in this country. If we do not address it properly, the conversation about it being taken back to the national Government will continue to be louder and popular. Therefore, we need to act as fast as possible. The Senate Committee on Health is working on this matter. It is not our intention to take a lot of time on it. However, we may take more time because we need to table a concise, elaborate and conclusive report to the House, so that when we take a position, it benefits all Kenyans.

We should continue addressing health issues with the seriousness they deserve because our intention is to see Kenyans getting proper medical attention.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I was in the meeting that deliberated on these amendments. I hope Sen. Omogeni might have been away serving his county issues. Anything that brings justice to farmers, we will support fully. I want to thank Sen. (Prof.) Kamar for extending the dragnet to ensure more people are held responsible. These decisions were made after listening to many people. We want to table a comprehensive Report. Therefore, we must improve on it and extend dragnets so that many people should be responsible for any decision that led to the maize crisis in this country. I ...
