Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, some of the information sought was not in the initial request and I may not be having answers. Therefore, I will ask for indulgence so that I can go back to get more information. The first issue is about what will happen to the money in Imperial Bank that is already under receivership. It is now Central Bank of Kenya that is handling it and we do not know whether they will recover the money when they have done what they ought to do.

Yes. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This is an ugly incident. It would be of interest if we can also be told whether this person has a mother, wife or sister.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join my colleagues in congratulating the Senator for Mandera on his nomination to this important organization. Sen. Billow Kerrow is committed and steadfast. On issues of national importance, he has remained committed and non-partisan. I believe that he will be the best representative of this Senate in the PAP. I urge all Senators to approve his nomination. Thank you.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think these three petitions are well- founded and rightly here because they fall within the mandate of the Senate. Looking at the Petition from Bukhayo, it reminds me of a ward in my county, Trans Nzioa, where I visited to view projects and was told that Kshs32 million was spent on roads and yet there were no roads but payments had been done. Regarding the issue of agriculture and health, it shows that there is no linkage between national policies and what is happening in the counties. It is important that commitments which we have ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, these petitions show that there is failure in systems. There are quite a number of counties, looking at the reports, where the auditor has gone for auditing but the county governments have refused to give documents to the auditor. The case in point is Trans Nzioa County. The auditor cannot give any opinion because he was denied to any document that would have been used to confirm whether expenditure was rightly done or wrongly done. In this case, why should the auditor not have power to do something about any government that cannot comply with financial ...

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Senator for Kakamega County for coming up with this Bill. It is now clear where county headquarters should be. The next step should be to facilitate these county headquarters to be what they should be. We know some are small townships while others are municipalities and others are cities. What we should do is to ensure that we grow all of them to become what they should be. The Urban Areas and Cities Act should be relooked at because, ideally, all The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. For a municipality like Kitale, the land that was initially planned became too small. Traders are now doing business not even on the road reserve but on the road itself and the railway, yet there is land that could be planned. In fact, compulsory acquisition has been provided for in the issue of roads and land in urban areas. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is also need to have uniform facilities, for example, the county headquarters. If you go to various counties today, you will find that the designs and sizes are different. There ...
