Madam Deputy Speaker, I made the request to you.

Please allow me to make my point. I do understand the Standing Orders and the provisions. Normally, when committees table their reports, they are at times given leeway to briefly summarize especially if it is a report on petitions.

Madam Deputy Speaker, you had said yes and that is why I was going ahead, but I stand guided. I will do it tomorrow or I can even do it any other day. I urge the Senators to take this opportunity to go through this Report. It has far reaching recommendations. Ordinarily, we would just table a Report and leave it, but we want a resolution of the Senate because of the far reaching interventions that we are proposing. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. As you have stated as Chairperson of this Committee, I take note of the Statement that has been requested, the sentiments of the Senators and the urgency of this issue. Indeed, I must commit that my Committee takes this matter very seriously. Just this past week we have been touring some of our stadia. We were in Bomet and we also went to Kericho Green Stadium. We looked at what is happening and we are really concerned about all the federations. Without being prejudicial as to the action we will take, I want to state ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, once we deal with the FKF issue, we will deal with the situation of stadiums in this country. I would like to separate the two because this is a bigger discussion around hundreds of millions that were put in. We saw Nyayo National Stadium and Moi International Sports Centre Kasarani being opened. However, if we were to have an international fixture, we will have to go to Rwanda. That is a serious question that must be answered. This year‟s Mashujaa Day was held in Wang‟uru International Stadium in Kirinyaga. It is not international because of the word ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, two minutes is so difficult, but I will try. I currently have 19 girls hospitalized at Metropolitan Hospital in Buruburu, and 16 at Jamaa Hospital. We have 63 in total hospitalized because of the fire that broke out on Sunday at 4.30 p.m. One of the hostels is called Kingdom Hostel. Before that fire broke out, there had been a communication to the Principal, Mrs. Caroline Maina, about some discontent on the pressure on the Form Three girls who are being categorized according to performance. There is something wrong with how we are dealing with our students ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, we must respect court orders, but they must also be practical. If they do not have the resources, that is a point of information. So, let the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights tell us how much more because we want not just for one week.

Madam Deputy Speaker, the IEBC is unable to pay these clerks. We will bring another Statement on why they were not able to pay. We, as a House, should make sure they have a correct allocation for another month of the voter registration exercise that is properly targeted to these young people who are on social media. The traditional ways of putting advertisements on newspapers and notices in markets and notice boards will not work. We need to have a youth targeted and centric voter registration campaign that will target them. In Nairobi, I was supposed to get 750,000 people ...
