Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to challenge the proponents of the current devolution. Most of them think that devolution means taking money to the county. To me, that perception is very wrong. For devolution to be effective, that money must be taken to the constituency, ward and sub-location. Therefore, stuffing a lot of money with the county governor is in itself a disservice to this country. We must find a way of channeling this money to the grassroots. That is because most of those governors do not have financial managerial skills and their capacity to handle a ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine is not a request for a Statement, but it is something similar to hon. Njuki’s issue.

The last week of May, I did request for a Statement from the Committee on Education, Research and Technology, pertaining to the fate of students from Lokitaung Secondary School who sat for their KCSE Examination in 2010, and to date they have not received their certificates. The Chairperson of the Committee promised to give the Statement in two weeks’ time, which was supposed to be last month. I need, through you, to hear when I will get that Statement. Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, on 6th May, 2013, militia from Ethiopia crossed the border, moved 50 kilometres into Kenyan territory and attacked a manyata, killed one person and drove away 200 herds of cattle. On 22nd May, 2013, the Merille militia from Ethiopia crossed the border, killed three people and injured three others. The injured are recovering at the district hospital. On the eve of Madaraka Day, more than five people were killed in cold blood in Kibish District, Turkana North Constituency. I personally visited the area and joined the survivors to bury those who were killed by the militia.

Hon. Speaker, Sir, a day after Madaraka Day celebrations, on 2nd June, 2013, two men who had taken their livestock to Nakua River in Kibish District, were shot and seriously injured. The two are now at Lodwar District Hospital. The Lodwar District Hospital is now overstretched with patients recovering from bullet wounds. Those patients are likely to incur medical bills arising from the treatment. What I want to bring to the attention of this House is the fact that the areas in which those attacks took place are within the confines of the contested Ilemi Triangle. Therefore, there is need ...
