Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as things stand currently, public participation is more of a Public Relations (PR) exercise than what it is actually supposed to be. Real public participation must also include sensitization of the people on the matter for which they are undertaking public participation so that they know the achievement that their son or daughter has been recognized and awarded for at the national level which may not be relevant to their situation. Their son or daughter could have gone out there and conquered at the national level thus automatically bringing fame and county. Public participation must be ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. I take this opportunity to thank my senior colleague, Sen. Ndwiga, who is also the Chairperson of the Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Committee where I am the Vice-Chairperson for bringing up this Petition on behalf of the trustees of the Catholic Diocese of Embu. I will say three things. One, from this Petition and linking it with what other colleagues have said, it is very clear that the National Land Commission (NLC) is the worst enemy when it comes to land disputes. Instead of the NLC ensuring that there is propriety in land ownership, they ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, this is a House of records. It should not go in the HANSARD that Sen. (Dr.) Milgo is alluding that Senators are making noise when they are just consulting.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have looked around. The Senator seated closest to Sen. (Dr.) Zani is the Senator for Kitui County. She has alleged that the Senator for Kitui County is looking at her and being anxious. I am reading the report keenly so that I make informed contributions. The Senator for Kitui County is not anxious. He is patiently studying the document. I thank you.

I thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir because the Senator for Nandi County is proclaiming that he has ceded time to me. It is true I actually asked him to cede some time for me. Thank you, Senator for Nandi County.

I stand to make my comments on this report, which was tabled on the Floor of this House in March this year. We are now in November at a time we are debating this report. It would be important that at the end of our submissions, that you give directions on what happens next because there are some recommendations in this report that could still be acted on and should actually be acted on. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the committee led by my friend and brother, Sen. (Dr.) Mbito, for tabling and bringing to the attention of this ...

Kenyans were living under the fear of death every minute, to those people, may a curse fall on them because that is what they deserve. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the magnitude of work that the Committee on Health had to do initially with the Ad-Hoc Committee on COVID-19. For them to have pulled through after the expiry of the time of the Ad-Hoc committee, I congratulate them. I want to make a few comments on the observations and their recommendations. It is very clear and this report says it that there was never due diligence carried out on ...
