Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for according me the opportunity to welcome the visiting delegation from Kilifi County. Kilifi County is the county that has given this Senate the Speaker of the House and the Senate Minority Leader. We appreciate your visit and it is my hope and prayer that your visit shall be fruitful; that you shall gain whatever it is that you are coming to benchmark or study and that as you go back home, you will go with a good report of the Senate of the Republic of Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, when you were listing the ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand in support of the Report brought by the Senate Standing Committee on Devolution and Inter-Governmental Relations on a matter concerning a neighboring County of Kitui called Tharaka Nithi County. I have been to Kathwana, Chogoria and Marimanti. The state of affairs in the offices responsible for public administration, both for the county government and the national Government, is a bit appalling.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are seated on that Chair and as the Senator for Meru County, when you say that oversight will have to be done at whatever costs, I support you 100 per cent. This is because you cannot begin to understand how a Government institution is the one that is precipitating the stoppage of the construction of a Government institutional administration. I have had the same experience in Kitui County. The people of Kitui County will tell you that the route you want to take is the route that was taken by the Senator of Kitui County ...

now we have elected representatives of the people sitting under trees to deliberate on public issues. What a shame? I do not want to cast aspersions on anyone but when a Senator – I am not naming any person – sits in the office of the Senate in their county, it is their responsibility to bring to the fore things that are happening in their county because all matters are local. There is nothing called a national issue. All issues are local. It is the responsibility of Senators to bring their issues to the national level for debate as the ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I will be very brief. I thank the Chair for giving this direction. It shall be remembered and it is on record, that yesterday the Speaker actually asked that we bring a Motion and we form an

Committee to deal with this matter. For that wisdom, I thank the Speaker. With regard to the composition of this Committee, I see able Senators with capacity to get to the bottom of this matter. They should not just limit themselves to what has and is happening at Shakahola. They should make a contribution to bringing back sanity in the church and religion. Madam Temporary Speaker, I know you are in this Committee. Through my interaction with you, I know you preach the gospel of the risen Christ. This is an

opportunity for you and your colleagues to bring back honour to religion. What has happened in Shakahola is, perhaps, the biggest shame to befall religion, especially christianity in this country. No wonder the Bible says that judgement will start in the house of God. I wonder what will happen to people like Pastor Mackenzie when they appear before the judgement seat. Lastly, I pray that this Senate shall facilitate this Committee fully to undertake whatever trips they have to. I recommend that this Committee visits Rwanda to find out what the President of Rwanda did when his country was faced ...
