As you all know, in the entire Nyandarua County, I am the only elected leader who made it back. This did not come by default. For the confidence the people of Ol Kalou Constituency have shown in me, I undertake to serve them diligently and with all that it takes for the next five years. Taking into account the trend of events, what has been happening from 8th August to date, I can only say that it is very regrettable and very unfortunate. The victory of the President we elected on 8th August was snatched from him by the so-called ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When you read what is happening in Baringo and Marakwet we, as responsible leaders, share the suffering of these communities. We know the situation we are in. We have persistent drought especially in those areas and all over the country. Other than these communities thinking about their daily livelihood, they most often think about how they will be raided in the evening and those things. We know the suffering their children and women are going through. Even if we send the whole team of General Service Unit (GSU) there that will not be the ...

Almost 100 years down the line we are still having these raids in the areas that have been mentioned here today. I think it is the responsibility of the leadership to end these raids. I know the Government is serious about it and this problem can be solved once and for all if they come together. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the New Clause 11(C). If we look at the provision of the Kenya Urban Roads Authority vis-a-vis the technicality which is involved in coming up with a road network within urban centres. I will give an example of Nairobi City. We know coming up with most of these roads is a major challenge because we have underground cables and other services. So, it requires a very well established set up and people who can be able to match the challenge. More importantly, we know that coming up with these roads set up ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this very important Bill. World over, infrastructural network is very vital for any tangible economic and social development. We have seen this in developed countries. What we see in developed countries has also been witnessed within our local set up. Just to point out a few examples, we have seen what has been happening in the environs of Nairobi in places such as Ruaka and on Mombasa Road as you head to Mavoko with improved infrastructural network. All the developments coming up there have ...

very little. For instance, in my county in 2013/2014, the disbursement of money touched on almost every road, but it was done haphazardly. We lost a lot of money. That is on record and it is known all over. With the classification of various roads, county governments will know the roads which fall under their domain. We will also know the roads that fall under the national Government. It has been witnessed that most governors have been taking advantage of this situation through their MCAs and they get all the money especially with regard to road networks. With proper categorisation ...
