Mr. Speaker, Sir, a number of ordinary Kenyans deposited their money into the bank which they need access to for their day to day use. Some have children in school and some may need that money for any other purpose. What measures has the CBK and the national Treasury put in place to rescue and remedy people in that category who deposited their money and suddenly discovered that the bank had been closed, yet they want to eat, dress and do all that pertains to the usage of their money? Was there any provision for intervention by the CBK and ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Vice Chairperson of the Committee for the response. However, I wish to correct that the building that was broken into is not the Kapenguria CDF office; it is Kapenguria CDF Building.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was broken into as well as many others that I will name. This building houses the CDF office and so CDF documents for the last many years were in this building. The County Executive Committee (CEC) Member for Lands is also housed in that building as well as the CEC for Tourism and Culture. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the response, no serious details were given. It is stated that there was no external damage. It is true that the door was not broken into. The main external door, which is made of metal, was also not ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this answer is not sufficient. I would like to hear that documents, including lands documents that have gone missing have been returned. What was the reason for taking the watchman to court yet no recoveries have been made? Was that all? Lastly, it looks like there is conspiracy to keep this matter under wraps because nobody is talking about it; for instance, the governor and the MP. Therefore, I would like to know whether this was planned. What was it? You have not told us whether recoveries have been done. I am suspecting that there is cover ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Vice Chairperson is not giving us correct information. In the answer, she did not say that investigations are still going on. She just said that arrangements have been put in place, which is fencing and so on.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it was by word of mouth. I want a commitment on how long it would take for this House to be satisfied.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Committee for the response. The Senate needs to be informed that there is an initiative by the local community living along the border who voluntarily decided to become peace keepers. The Government has also recognised them. However, now that the peace keepers have stepped in to do what the national Government is supposed to be doing; the General Service Unit (GSU) are back in their camp, the Administration Police (APs) and the Anti-Stock Theft Unit are also back in their camps. On a day- today basis these 60 people have been walking from village ...

On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. A lot of money has been pumped into the National Youth Service (NYS). I expected this to be an opportunity for the Government to recruit these 60 people and many more, who have reformed, into the NYS. That way, they can get a dedicated---

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The case stated by the Senator is indeed very touching. It has taken a long time to expose the matter. A number of researches and activities are going on now especially oil exploration in the North Rift; Turkana, Samburu, Baringo, Elgeyo-Marakwet and West Pokot counties. If exactly what he is telling us is the aftermath of this, is it not yet time we stepped in and found out how these people do the exploration so that it does not become an explosion in the future? Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, look at the dams that ...
