Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is a pity these contractors chose to bring a petition of Kshs974,000 to the Senate. We have seen an array of expenditure when the governor of that county is launching his new political party. That notwithstanding, Ms. Jemutai and Ms. Chepkurui must have borrowed money from a bank. I do not know if they still do their business or they have already been auctioned. This has been replicated everywhere. In my county, for example, some contractors have come to a standstill. Some of them are now walking to their business premises because their vehicles were ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious case. No wonder sugar is almost now very rare in the supermarket shelves and if you get it, some of it comes from foreign lands; yet, there are many industries that were processing sugar, Chemelil being one of them. The last time Chemelil was the envy of everyone was when the Managing Director (MD) was Aaron Tuikong. We are witnessing this mess after they were hauled out of office. Mr. Ondieki has done the right thing to bring this Petition so that the Senate in its wisdom can interrogate it. Mr. ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am surprised with the way the Vice Chairperson is responding to concerns raised by hon. Senators here. How can a project rated as the best flagship project and where millions of money has been spent is at the verge of collapsing? This project was conceived when the Grand Coalition Government was in power. We are told the reason for changing the old route is because it is blocking animals from migrating. Where have these animals come from? Why is it that they were not seen earlier? If this LAPSSET project had been finalized earlier, the ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not know how you will explain where the Chairpersons have been given directives by yourself. Yesterday you were magnanimous and informed them to respond today but they have ignored. They have to come and respond to this grave issue that has wiped out communities and nobody is reporting anything in the media. I have read the history and I have never come across anywhere where Government officers kill livestock especially when there is drought like now. This is the reason why these animals came to Laikipia and would not have left their homes in ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have not talked yet for you to know whether it is repetitive or not. I would like to add that last week, we saw that the police officers arresting some boys in Eastleigh and shot them dead.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, if the target is to smoke out the bandits there, then the same procedure that was used to identity bandits there should also be applied in Laikipia County. Right now, they are treating cattle, women and newborn babies as bandits. Kindly direct the Committee to visit the area because they are unable to get response from the relevant authority. When they go there, they will be able to assess for themselves and seek a solution for the way forward.
