Bw. Spika wa Muda, walisema kuna watu wanaitwa “ Wajakoya” waliofika huko na kuokoa maisha ya watu wetu. Nikawauliza Wajakoya ni akina nani. Wakaniambia, hao ni askari jeshi ambao Mhe. Rais Ruto alipeleka kule Samburu, mahali panaitwa Baragoi. Watu wameanza kupata maisha mazuri na kulala vizuri. Kwa hivyo, siwezi kubali mtu yeyote akisema kuna shida ni kuwa Mhe. Rais Ruto hajashugulika. Kule nimetoka Marsabit, tulikua na shida kubwa sana. Kule Sondu watu wamefariki. Mambo haya siyo rahisi. Ningependa kusema pole kwa familia hizo. Lakini ukiangalia hapa nchini, mahali kama Marsabit, watu wengi wamefariki sana na ni zaidi ya mia tano. ...

Uliza mtu ametoka Turkana na Marsabit mambo ya usalama. Kuna watu wanasema wakora hawajulikani kule wametoka. Hakuna mkora hajazaliwa na hana baba wala mama. Wanajulikana hata zile vijiji wanakotoka. Kwa hivyo, hakuna mtu anaweza kuja kuua watu na isemekane yeye ni mkora. Hakuna kitu kama hiyo. Wale wakora tunajua ni wale wako Nairobi ambao hunyang’anya watu vitu vyao. Kwetu nyumbani, tunajua mkora ametoka wapi, baba na mama yake ni akina nani, hata ukoo na kabila tunazijua. Kwa hivyo, watu wasije mbele ya Bunge la Seneti kusema hawajui hao wakora ni akina nani. Tuambiane ukweli. Bw. Spika wa Muda, kama tunataka ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I take this opportunity to congratulate our Cabinet Secretary for the Ministry of Defence for coming here today and also, I thank him for the service he has given this country, both as a legislator and a Minister. I have three Questions. I will start with the first one. (a) Could the Cabinet Secretary state the number of security personnel who have been injured or have lost their lives while serving in Somalia as part of the African Union Mission to Somalia (AMISOM) and also highlight the Government's policies, regarding compensation, support and welfare packages ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I will ask my first question now and the other one towards the end of this session. First of all, I thank the Cabinet Secretary for a comprehensive and well-thought- out answer. The Cabinet Secretary said that Kenya and Ethiopia share a border with Somalia. We do not have Ethiopian defence force or army inside Somalia. They were very clever. It is very expensive for a neighbouring country to go into Somalia because

the communities that live on the border that we share are the same; they are relatives and friends. Cabinet Secretary, since you also come from the same community, is it not good advice for Kenya to withdraw? I am not talking about ATMIS, but our KDF. Is it not prudent for our defence forces to be guarding our border rather than being in Somalia? This is because being in Somalia is creating problems for us. As I speak, Mogadishu is safer today than North Eastern; Mandera, Garissa, Wajir and even Tana River counties. What advice would the Cabinet Secretary give ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue is not confined only to Pumwani. It is affecting the whole country. The housing issue is a devolved function. The county governments are now transferring public lands to individual developers. I would like to give an example of Buxton Estate in Mombasa, which is before our Committee, which I happen to be a Member of. In Buxton, the land is 12 acres and the value is Kshs3.6 billion. The former tenants were evicted. They were given rent for one year. Up to today, the developer of that project has not completed it. The poor people ...
