Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. From the outset, I oppose it. It appears somebody somewhere is trying to act to please somebody without looking at the interest of the people who have already claimed that they suffer and have suffered in the hands of the people we are trying to make agreements with. In moving the Motion, the Chairman said that the UK is happy to come and have their exercises and activities with us. That is because in Laikipia and around Nanyuki where they stay, there are five ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Chairman is trying to eat into my minutes. I know he put it there and I heard him saying it, but we have half cast boys who are 20 to 30 years. Has he factored them in his Report? How will he address their plight? Will their fathers come for them? That is the question we are asking. We are not talking of the future. Can we go back to the past in terms of what had happened before? Some women have been raped by these soldiers. Have we factored their plight in ...

The law on balance of payment is very clear. Every country will struggle to see that what we export equals to what we import, so that we can be at par. If they bring in things politically, why can we not also go the political way? We can open up our miraa business, compensate us for all the damages they have done and sit down and do a treaty which will be properly tailored, so that it can be acceptable especially to the miraa growing communities. We should be looking at what we get from these people, but not what ...

In some markets where fish is sold, people do not have the right ways of handling it and disposing of waste products. Many people are irritated because the place stinks. We should introduce modern ways of handling fish. Those places should be kept clean so that even if we intend to export it, then buyers in the European market are contented. Those customers are categorical and careful on where a product comes from. If fish is not handled according to the modern ways, then they will not buy it from us. It is a very big challenge to us and ...
