Madam Temporary Speaker, is Sen. Kagwe in order to mislead this House by saying that the Constitution talks about 15 per cent. It actually talks about a minimum of 15 per cent.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to congratulate Sen. Sang and the Petitioners. Although the Petition and desire of the people of Talai is older than the Republic of Kenya, it would have been incumbent upon every successive government to look at some of the injustices that were meted out on some communities or clans. In the Rift Valley the Talai Clan leads, given the misplacement that we have read and heard from their history. When I was a Permanent Secretary we visited Kericho and found the Talai confined to a corner – where the Commissioner stayed – so that ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek the leave of the House to move a Motion of Adjournment of the Senate on 28th February, 2017 under the provision of Standing Order No.33 to discuss a definite matter of national importance, which is on the ongoing insecurity in Baringo County.

Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to ride on that Statement, so that when the Chairperson is giving a response, this too will be captured. Could the Chairperson confirm to this House, where we have a conflict between two communities, whether it is allowed by law – and which law it is – that national police reservists are recruited from one community and the other one is left out? Is there a law that provides for that?

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the Senate do now adjourn. News has been rife in the media as late as yesterday about the intense insecurity in Baringo County which has now spilled over to part of my County of West Pokot. For nearly six months now, we have been hearing of insecurity along the Kerio Valley which is shared by three counties; West Pokot, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Baringo counties. I would like to shed more light on this problem that has been going on. The insecurity issue has been ongoing for about six months between the Marakwets, ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thought that I would be given equivalent time to that of Sen. (Prof.) Anyang’-Nyong’o. The Kerio Valley has a river that has rich grass and pasture that is shared by the Pokots and Marakwets. However, due to insecurity and banditry that began along the border of Pokot and Turkana for a long time ago, it spilled over to the other communities. Instead of the Government addressing these issues by giving the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR) to both sides, there is not a single KPR in Baringo County. However, in the other communities, they have been ...
