Mr. Speaker, Sir, may I thank the Chairman for bringing the response as I sought. I also want to confirm that because of the intervention of Sen. Munyes, other leaders and I, that construction on that road was stopped because it was already causing problems between the two communities. However, the first part of the answer from the Government has really surprised us. This is because in January this year, the leadership of over seven counties sat in Boma Inn Hotel and came up with a blueprint, which the Minister signed and he has disowned it. The blueprint indicated, among ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just want to expound on what my brother, Sen. Munyes, said. I want to confirm to this House that the problems that we have been reading about in the newspapers since April this year have stopped, because of commitment from elected leaders and other stakeholders on the ground from the two communities and even in Baringo and Samburu. Some of the stalled projects in the near future will now have to be done because of the path that we have chosen to walk. The only caution that we put across was that no county government should ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Motion by Sen. Leshore. On the outset, I congratulate him for bringing this Motion in good time. As he said, the Motion has been with us for some time, but because of the bulk of work that was before the Senate, it took this long for it to be brought before the Floor of the House. In 2010, we passed a new Constitution and it clearly identified the functions and powers of the county governments as well as the functions and powers of the national Government. In this particular case of ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, further to the clarification sought by Sen. M. Kajwang, in the year 2011, the Government of Kenya dispatched a team of surveyors to Migingo Island. Some funds were even set aside. Sen. Orengo was the Minister of Lands then. To date, we have not received a report on the outcome of the survey. The two governments had dispatched surveyors to identify the boundaries in Migingo Island. Could the Vice Chairperson undertake to bring the report so that we can know what became of it?
