Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I agree that there are issues of allegations of police brutality. We should not be losing lives like that of the young boy, Master Mutinda. Now that we have agreed that this issue should move to the Committee, I seek to get clarification from the Senate Majority Leader. Is there possibility that in the scope of allegations of police brutality, they should also look into the illegal criminal gangs who are camouflaging and are being used to perpetuate some of these heinous crimes for, of course, the obvious reason of gaining political mileage? Thank you, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think as the incoming Senator of the county where the Petition has come from by my good friend the Governor of Nandi, Governor Sang, I would also be interested although I was following this matter before I was even elected. Most of these Talai people live in Chesumei Sub County. The President came a few weeks ago to visit the mausoleum of Koitalel arap Samoei whose remains were returned in the year 2002. We still have a lot of issues to raise with the British over that matter. I would also want to see the conclusion ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. From the outset I want to congratulate Sen. Kihika for moving the Motion. The issue of waste management in this country has been an eyesore for a very long. This has been a challenge in Nairobi and most of our upcoming urban settings. The problem in this country is that we have not found a solution with regard to waste management. If this Motion is implemented it will create more opportunities. We expect most counties to take advantage of this and partner with private entities, youth groups, people living with disability and other enterprises, so ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No. 39 of 2017) is timely. I am glad that the rights of voters as envisaged under Article 38 of the Constitution will now be fortified and sanctified. I agree also that as provided in the principles of elections under Article 81 of the Constitution, there is no bad timing. Going forward, we want to see that the conduct of our elections maintains its integrity. I come from a place where there are rain makers. I am glad that it has started raining since the withdrawal of ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Adjournment Motion and I want to say that this time we are going for recess is the time to go and reflect and also interact with our constituents and to update ourselves with the happenings on the ground in our counties. Secondly, this is the right time to use much of our time to campaign. However, I want to urge that we use this time to at least preach peace. This is an opportunity to interact with the people and let them understand what is going on. This is ...
