Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to support this Statement. I want to congratulate Sen. Shiyonga for bringing this Statement. Indeed, the police officer who did this act came out strongly as being brutal, callous and feeling less. It is unfortunate that even when he was doing that, the public around him was also just watching. I want to say without any fear that there is need to review the curriculum of police officers. Even during their training, an aspect of the human feelings needs to be incorporated in the curriculum. This is because once they ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I would like to comment on the Statement that Sen. Mwaruma has brought to the Floor of this House concerning boundary disputes. The issue of boundary disputes needs to be resolved amicably. I say this because of the future generations. You will find that in a situation where there are boundary disputes, many times it affects economic and social activities. Children in disputed areas end up marrying each other. We also have economic activities taking place in such areas, so there is need for an atmosphere that is conducive for ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, lastly, there are police officers who have human touch. They do godly acts and should be acknowledged even during the Presidential awards. Let them be acknowledged for what they have done. In Nakuru, there is a police officer who bought a wheelchair and gave it to a disabled person. Such acts should be highlighted by the media. When the media is setting the agenda for the police officer, let them also focus on policemen and policewomen who do us glory by helping others. There was a policewoman who helped a lady who had a baby carried on ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I will be very brief. I support this Statement by Sen. Omanga that there is need to ensure that we are making haste, so that youths get certificates of good conduct. I remember at one point in the Committee on Labour and Social Services, we got some youths who came to petition an issue on certificates of good conduct. In most organizations, you will find that interviewers ask for certificates of good conduct. There is need to ensure that we are not a stumbling block for youths in getting jobs or whatever they may so ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I thank Sen. Cherargei for coming up with this Statement. I thank God for giving him that protection such that he is walking very well. At one point, I saw him walking on crutches when he first came to the Senate after the accident. I hope that God will heal him, so that he will not be permanently on crutches like me. When it comes to issues of road construction, it is not only KeNHA that we need to speak to, but all road construction companies. This is not only ...

mark them for the drivers to see. Sometimes, there no signs at all for rumble strips. This is risky for all of us because we use roads every day. The constructing companies need to ensure that people are aware of such bumps, ramble strips and diversion. When you on the road, you are not sure you will reach your destination. Most of the time, we reach our destinations by the mercies of the Lord. There is need for construction companies to ensure that they do their work diligently and do not use shortcuts in any way. I hope that the ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me an opportunity to support this Statement by Sen. Sakaja of Nairobi City County. Indeed, he has brought an issue that is very important on the Floor of this House. As we speak, many families are currently frustrated. They cannot have their meals and do not know how to behave because of this Statement from the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources. In these said places, you will find people took loans and went through the due process to get title deeds. They got the title deeds from the same Government, in fact, ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, as we speak right now, there are so many families that are stranded over this issue. They do not know how to behave. They already have loans. There are quite a number of Members of Parliament (MPs) who are also affected with this particular issue. There is need for the right committee to deal with this issue and ensure that we do not anguish our citizens more than it is necessary. This is because so many people are affected. Madam Deputy Speaker, sometimes the Government rushes to begin demolitions even before doing an investigation. Later on, it ...
