Let me thank my sister, hon. (Ms.) Fatuma for bringing this important Motion for Adjournment. I rise to support the same with regard to our children, sisters, daughters, mothers and wives. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this is a grave matter. As we share it in this august House, I would request those in power and those people who are involved in this cat and mouse game of trying to protect and cover up incidents of rape and molesting our female gender to be alert and know that the world is awake now. We are not going to tolerate these acts. ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the document. I strongly feel that the Constitution was violated in this particular incident. Land issues in this country are very emotive, and we have to be very careful when we are dealing with them. According to this report, if you look at it carefully, it appears that it was done just unilaterally by an individual to satisfy some quarters. If due diligence was done and the Constitution was properly followed, these actions would not have taken the period they took to be accomplished, especially writing a Gazette Notice at 8.30 p.m. Why ...

revoked that notice? If the Committee did not sit with her and challenge her to answer questions, could she have revoked the Gazette Notice? This means that we could have opened a pandora’s box, so that anything would be done with impunity and this would have taken this country backwards to the ages that we want to come out of. So, I strongly support the report as amended.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I appreciate the report that has been given but I feel that when we are disciplining these students we should be doing it as a corrective measure but not as a punitive punishment which could destroy the lives of these young citizens. During the adolescence stages or due to peer pressure these kids do so many things. When the Senate or the school’s leadership just spells out very punitive punishments like expulsion for four years now and then you are destroying their lives. If you leave a young person in the cold for four years, ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion by hon. Sunjeev and I strongly feel that it has come at the right time because of the problems we as a country are experiencing as far as water is concerned. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, water is life and we have got a lot of water but it is also scarce because of the nature and the way we handle water issues. During the rainy season, we experience excess water which becomes even a disaster in most parts of the country and during ...

from the mountains and hills are conserved and harnessed by way of putting up dykes and dams, the water can be controlled and we will save our roads and bridges from destruction. We will also prevent our soil from going into the ocean. We will have the same water stored for future use. My constituency - Igembe Central - has the Nyambene Hills. Once it rains, the lower side of the constituency is flooded with water with a lot of soil. In fact, houses and plantations are buried and many people are left homeless. In the upper parts of the ...

Thank you hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. I thank my colleague, hon. Jamleck Kamau for bringing this timely Motion. I rise to support the same with a view of saving money for this country for purposes of development. Whatever little that we will save will be used to do other things which we have been unable to do. In essence, if it means that one has to pay three times to get to a destination whereas there is a much cheaper facility that will take you to the same destination, I find it really ...

I urge this House to pass these measures. They should be put into effect immediately. As hon. Musyimi has said, this should be actualized and the arms of the Government should start exercising the same. If need be, we should take the data of what savings we can make within, for example, a period of six months. This will be astronomical. I strongly support this Motion. I thank hon. Jamleck Kamau for bringing it to this House.

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I rise to support the Motion and in particular the issue of identity cards which I believe has been a big problem to many citizens of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as the Motion reads, people are taking a lot of time and energy criss crossing different offices and departments of this Government to get various documents which at the end of the day are all just to identify that particular individual. It becomes so cumbersome even to carry the same documents which are just ...
