Madam Temporary Speaker, I thank Sen. Mwaura for bringing up this Petition. This is a matter that we have been trying to deal with.

The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.
