Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to echo the sentiments of my sister, Hon. Kajuju, through that petition. Today is a sad day for the residents of Meru and especially the late students of Igembe. Last night we lost five residents through cattle rustlers, 15 animals were killed and 1,000 animals were stolen. Hon. Speaker, this has been perennial in our area and our neighbours are doing this with impunity. I am sorry to say through investigations, some leaders from Isiolo County are involved in these heinous crimes. We have had meetings with our brothers and sisters ...

Hon. Speaker, during the dry season, these communities bring their animals to our area which borders them for grazing and water. We have water pans and boreholes which we have dug in our area and when they bring their animals for watering and grazing, we have meetings and we allow them to stay.

company or the ministry for purposes for mining, one should be paid. I would also propose and echo the sentiments of the previous speaker that payments should be done even prior to acquisition. Once the land is acquired, the owner should not keep running up and down in the corridors of the ministry without getting payments. We have had cases where land has been acquired by the State and people are yet to be paid two, three or four years down the line. It should not just be prompt but should be paid before they acquire the land. I support ...
