Asante Bw. Spika. Ningependa kuongezea yale maneno Mhe. Mungatana amesema. Mhe. Mungatana ametoka Kaunti ya Tana River na labda amesafiri usiku wote akifikiria kwamba leo asubuhi atawakilisha watu wake wa Tana River. Lazima tukubaliane kama Seneti kwamba Waziri hataweza kufika kama labda ni mgonjwa au ameitwa State House kwa mkutano muhimu sana. Tukubaliane kwamba Waziri yeyote ambaye atashindwa kufika hapa kwa sababu ya safari ambayo mipango yake ilianza miezi miwili iliyopita, ingefaa atume msaidizi wake kama vile PrincipalSecretary . Waziri ambaye hajafika leo ni kama hajali maneno ya Bunge. Hii ni kwa sababu wakati alifika mbele ya Bunge kwa ajili ...

Asante Bi. Spika. Kwanza nachukuwa nafasi hii kumshukuru Waziri na Principal Secretary (PS) wake. Tulikuwa na shida ya mining Moyale, tukapiga simu na tukawapata. Tunawapa shukrani kubwa sana. Bi Spika wa Muda, kuna migodi Moyale inayoitwa Hilo. Inasaidia watu 5,000. Hivi majuzi hiyo migodi imefungwa kwa sababu ya watu kupoteza maisha yao. Ningependa kujua kutoka kwa Waziri; ni hatua gani anachukua kwa sasa kwa sababu watu wanaoishi Moyale, Marsabit na Isiolo wanategemea hiyo migodi. Ni kweli watu walifariki pale na ikafungwa? Ni hatua gani unachukua? Hawa watu wa migodi wamekubaliana wakaketi na kutengeneza cooperatives ya kufanya hiyo kazi kwa njia ...

Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Let me also take this opportunity to thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama for chairing this Committee. She has passionately followed this matter up, and sometimes felt like crying. I am also in that Committee, and when the victims came before us to narrate to us what they went through, all the Members who were there cried because it was not something that we could stomach. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 7th August, 1998, I was in Addis Ababa on a business trip. I left my hotel room early morning at around 7.00 a.m. ...

I urge him, on behalf of this House, to tell the Americans that we are not collateral damage. We are human beings like the Americans who were working for that Government. The contractors who were working for that Government were compensated billions of shillings. If we are going to host Americans here and then we suffer because we host them, who will take responsibility? It is ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are not begging them. We are demanding them to pay our people. Our people lost their lives, were maimed and tortured, both mentally and physically because of their issues. They had intelligence, but they did not care. The same thing is happening in Gaza. Thousands of women and children are dying. The ammunitions that the Israelis are using are from America. Let it not be as if we are begging them because we are demanding what is rightfully ours. Our people must be compensated, not just at a lower percentage, but to the ...

I request the President to put up our case and see how we can have these people compensated as quickly as possible. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, I beg to support this report. Once again, I thank Sen. Kavindu Muthama for a job well done. I thank you.

Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to contribute to the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale. Boda bodas are present throughout Africa and beyond. It is a critical transport system helping people in a rural part of this country. They are facing a lot of challenges from the police and criminals abducting them. We need to protect this industry, which is very important for this country. It has created employment and will create more employment opportunities for our young people. We need to have a basic traffic system implemented or observed by boda boda operators. The Government has ...
