25 Mar 2015 in Senate:
Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to contribute in support of this Motion. This is a very important Motion. It is significant in the sense that it does not require a lot of interpretation, it has been there in the past and we have lived in it but it is only that we have been ignorant to a very large extent. If you were to go some years back, especially when we were in school, there used to be a very serious consideration of a day called the Commonwealth Day, which was observed. For those ...

25 Mar 2015 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy that you have given me a chance to contribute towards this Bill. The Bill is good. The Bill comes at a time when very many counties are out to come up with various forms of discoveries and prospection in various minerals. This will be captured in another Bill which will be coming later concerning the establishment of Independent Commission on County Boundaries by Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Therefore, all these Bills are coming at a time when many counties want to own their land; they want to be seen as if they own ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. However there is fluorspar as a mineral in that area. Therefore, if you wanted to get to know what the actual benefits of that mineral are, you will even see that the road from Iten to Tambach, Kabarnet and then down to Nakuru was made possible because of such mineral deposits which were to be transported before they are exported. Through that, the infrastructure of the place had to be done. A lot of money was used to construct and expand the road. These are some of the benefits we are trying to look ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when a case similar to that of Kisii occurs, a Member who is concerned goes to Jogoo, fills some forms and makes a case. That case is then taken further to the relevant offices and the Government always responds to such distress issues. So, I would advise my friend, the Senator, to do the same. That money will be released as per the demand, if it is there.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, speaking from experience, what I have seen is that if there is a tragedy of this kind, it is faster and more prudent for anyone from that area to walk to the Ministry and table the case. Otherwise, if you have to wait until the whole process is done, it may take another three or four months. That is my advice.
