One of the key witnesses is an ambassador somewhere out of the country. We are facing a challenge because he might not be able to come physically and give evidence. We are trying to fast track the process because Kenyans are looking forward to this ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I wish to join my colleagues in congratulating this Committee that is headed by none other than the “super” Senator for Nairobi. We gave him the responsibility as the Chairman knowing that he would do a thorough job as far as the responsibility is concern.

As far as preparedness is concerned, a lot Public Relations (PR) has been done especially through the media. However, in as much as a lot of money has been used, what is on the ground is minimal for most of the counties. I know that even the national Government is giving relief to support the counties and communities affected by the current hardship.
