Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to also contribute to this important Motion. Most of the issues were mentioned very comprehensively by Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, and I was so excited. However, I want to add that in spite of the tea sector being the pillar of the economy of this country, the farmer down there is suffering and needs to be rescued. Most of the small scale farmers in areas like Bomet, Kisii and Kericho counties grow tea on land that could be used to grow food crops. As a result, a number of children from these areas ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Statement is not ready, but I have taken an initiative because it is a serious matter. On Friday, I went there with Sen. Omogeni and Sen. Kinyua to meet the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) Chief Executive Officer. In fact, we even discussed further to meet her on Thursday in our Committee. I have discussed with the concerned Senators from North Eastern and we will meet together on the same. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise to oppose this particular Motion. This is based on the fact that Sen. Melly is 39 years old and he was first employed in Moi University at the age of 24 years. It means that he has been working for fifteen years. What do we call that if you wanted experience?

It is only during the ‘editing’ period, that they were able to know who ...
