It saddens me to see that people who are already marginalised, marginalize themselves all the time by killing each other. In the formula that was brought to this House by the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA), 72 per cent of the criteria was based on population. It does not matter from which angle you look at it. Even health and agriculture were based on population. There was a strict population criterion. So, all the parameters of CRA formula were based on population. It saddens me that our pastoralists kill and displace each other for no gain, instead of looking at ...

The other issue is that, no development can take place where there is insecurity. Therefore, Sen. Halake’s people and my people who are pastoralists should not complain about marginalization and poverty. As long as they are fighting each other, there will be poverty and marginalization. There will be no investment or employment. All manner of bad things will happen to that society.

Madam Temporary Speaker, as an investor who wants to bring a big project that would employ many people, you would never go to Isiolo County. It is because people are fighting. I will only invest somewhere when I am assured that my assets are secure. We can always sing about unemployment and many other things but as long as there is insecurity, that will be just a pipe dream. In this Century, with development of so many things, our pastoral community should stop fighting. Even winning an election is not worth people’ s lives. As leaders, politicians and change makers, ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Sometimes there are other contributions which are normally not discussed when a Committee is discussing an issue. When critical issues arise from Plenary, can we have them included in the request to the Ministries?

Madam Temporary Speaker, is Senator for Bomet County in order to call the Jubilee Government inhumane without substantiation?

Madam Temporary Speaker, I asked him to substantiate, but he is still continuing with assertions without clear evidence to his former statement. I think that is unfair.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Allow me to make some amendments because when I was preparing this Statement, I did not know that the National Assembly had passed a law through supplementary legislation that the Cabinet Secretary has now no control over boards and that they are now independent in their decisions. I am going to replace Ministry of Education with the Board of Maasai Mara. I am requesting that you indulge and allow me to do that.

regarding the alleged misappropriation by the Vice-Chancellor and the administration of Kshs190 million. (2) Outline the measures the Board will put in place to ensure the University which is an independent institution to reinstate Mr. Sankale immediately and unconditionally. (3) State measures, if any, the Ministry has put in place to ensure whistle blowers and witnesses in graft cases are protected and not victimized for their exposé. I wish to make a brief comment; not as a debate. Working as an accountant in Government institutions makes one an endangered species. Sometimes your manager wants you to commit a fraud on ...
