Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I congratulate my good friend, Sen. Sakaja, for bringing this Petition. We are aware that last week, traders demonstrated, complaining of unfair trade practices in this country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, some of us are young and it is sad that most of the people who have been affected by this fight against contraband goods are young people. In as much we support the Government in the fight against contraband goods in this country; it should not become a licence to stifle people of their success. Some of these fights have been taken a notch higher ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Mary Seneta for this Statement. I agree with my colleagues that this is a serious matter that should go beyond an ordinary Statement. I hope that it will be referred to the relevant Committee. Since this tragedy happened, I have seen the Senator for Nairobi County, Sen. Sakaja, doing a lot.

The priests cannot move with ease to pray for us as we prepare to take the kingdom of God. It is a very sad state of affairs. There is a lot of ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support both statements made by Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Malalah. I also come from a county where we do farming of sugarcane in Mosop, Chemelil and Chemase. In fact, we share Chemelil sugar factory with Kisumu County. The reason why the sugar industry is flopping is simple. It means that there are people who are benefiting from this sugar. It is just like the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB) scam. There were many illegal importations of maize into the country. That is why many farmers still have maize in their stores. ...
