Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. Mental health is very important. The Big Four Agenda cannot be achieved if the citizens of this nation are not mentally healthy. Even the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that every nation is fronting aim at ensuring the wellbeing of every person in the world. As a country, we have to anchor our developments on the SDGs. I am saying this because, as a nation, we do not want to be left behind. Just as other nations are concerned about the well being of ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice on the Statement. I feel humbled. This conflict in Turkana and Isiolo counties is a very serious one. There is need for these communities to live in harmony and co-exist, because you will find young people from Samburu and Turkana communities intermarrying. When that happens, it means that there will be a long lasting relationship that will even extend to the next generation. Therefore, there is need for the Government to ensure that there is security in this area. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Sen. (Prof.) Ekal ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Statement. I also thank Sen. (Prof.) Ekal for this Statement. Oil is a very important commodity; very few countries own it and, as a result, they become very wealthy. Oil can help us, as a Nation and also the people of Turkana County, who languish in poverty. As the Senator clearly said, about 88 per cent of the people in that region languish in poverty. All along, we have been looking at how to work on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), because SDG One states that ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to add my thoughts to this Statement. First of all, I just want to condole, on behalf of persons with disabilities in this nation. I want to condole the families of those who died in the Gikomba fire tragedy. It is really painful. This issue is very serious. It is not an issue that is just starting today. There was a time when there were frequent occurrences of fires in that market. Therefore, there is need for this disaster to be brought to an end. We have different disasters in ...

Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice. It is very painful and heart crushing for this nation to be talking about issues of Malaria. The Government should move with speed and ensure that there are drugs in the affected areas. Madam Temporary Speaker, Sen. Omogeni has brought up an issue that needs to be handled with a lot of speed. There are big issues that we need to deal with as a country, for example, Cancer, which we have not resolved to date. Therefore, Malaria The electronic version of the Senate ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important debate. I commend the two Senators; Sen. Sakaja and Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., for coming up with this Bill for a common goal. It is a good show for all of us and a sign that the handshake is working. They have come up with an important Bill.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. He has clarified that they had already done the handshake even before it became visible to all Kenyans. I thank him for that effort. The issue of disaster management is important and core for any Government. No nation can escape disaster; every nation is vulnerable. Disaster does not plan to come, it just comes. So, disaster preparedness is important for any Government. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, disaster management has a strong constitutional backing. We fought for the 2010 Constitution of Kenya so that it can work for us. The Constitution has handsome and wonderful ...
