experience in the particular field or guarantee. We should be looking even and exploring how young people can access credit. We ask them to give collateral security and yet they do not have title deeds. Title deeds belong to their grandfathers or great-great-grandfathers. However, the bank wants to loan them against collateral security. They do not have a logbook. They have just finished school. That is the pain of most of the young people go through. Most of them want to do something, but cannot do it because they need collateral or security like a logbook, title deeds or a ...

We want to know how many companies in Meru belong to young people who are getting county tenders. I am happy the Vice-Chairperson of the Committee on Finance and Budget is here. She should tell the country how many counties are complying with the 30 per cent rule. Even in Nakuru County, we want to know how many youthful companies are giving business to young people. This is the future we want to see. We are not encouraging young people to be corrupt. We want them to do legit business and not kemikali business. I will finish in the words ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, under Article 10 the Rule of Law and Principles of Natural Justice and also what is called judicial notice, what Sen. Thang’wa just mentioned is in the public domain. It is not new. Sen. Thang’wa did not go into detail or substrata of the engagement that was done in the ‘Lower’ House. Allow that matter to rest there. Sen.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I congratulate Sen. Lemaletian for ably moving this Motion. Kenya being part of the FP-ICGLR is by extension being a member of the East African Community (EAC).

That is one way for us to legislate some of the proposals that will create harmony across our region. Article 2(6) of the Constitution of Kenya states that– “Any treaty or convention ratified by Kenya shall form part of the law of Kenya ...

musicians. The DRC is known for music as opposed to minerals and this should not be the case. On a lighter touch, I also know people there have bleached themselves. I was watching another Minister who 10 years ago was dark like me and yet they say the darker the berry, the sweeter the juice. However, he has transformed himself. While we focus on bringing peace to DRC, we hope that those minerals will be a blessing in that country. On the CAR, I know there are a number of organizations that continue to fuel insecurity there. That region all ...

hope that as she goes back, she will include the terrorism prevention and compensation fund. Madam Temporary Speaker, we also want the protection of UN and the Red Cross staff because they provide humanitarian assistance in Eastern Congo, Kakuma, Uganda and all over. I propose that as the Senator goes back, we should have a list of all prescribed and militias that continue to destabilize the countries over insecurity issue. The Senate and the Parliaments that have been mentioned are the source of democracy. I encourage that as you go back, discuss how we can make democracy strong. This is ...
