Joyce was born in abject poverty. In 2012, she suspended her PhD studies to concentrate. In 1985-1996 she participated in the translation of the bible to Turkana language. Previously, Joyce worked with the United Nations Children and Oxfam Kenya and was actively involved with the community. She puts education empowerment on top of her list in her quest to transform Turkana County. She also believes that without security, there cannot be any development and therefore has been very vocal on issues of security in her parliamentary debates.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will take one minute. On behalf of myself and the people of Turkana, I condole and send our words of comfort and sympathy to the people of Mwingi and Kitui at large. As a mother, I put myself in the shoes of those mothers who were waiting for their children that evening only to be met by wails and screams only two kilometres away from home. It is so painful to lose young ones. Thank you.

Before I go to the issues raised in the Report, I want to underscore the importance of woodlands and forests because they offer watershed protection and mitigate against climate change. They provide habitat for countless species; fauna and flora. They fight natural disasters like floods, refill our aquifers, release the oxygen that we breathe and absorb the carbon dioxide that we do not need. It is estimated that a mature leafy tree gives sufficient oxygen to between two and 10 people. That is the extent to which forests are important.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the committee’s Recommendation No. 24 on page 49 which says that the CS should reconstitute a new KFS board. This is because it is indicated in the Report that the current board’s term expired on 31st March. Given the recent allegations of corruption in the KFS, that is a reason to reconstitute a new board. It is also so given the fact that the board has already been grilled by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and there is possible further grilling of rogue staff in the KFS who might have stolen ...

I also want to specifically support Recommendation No. 22 which urges EACC and other investigative agencies to continue with investigations. This Report does not incriminate anybody. It is a good Report. We want to support it, but I also urge the Committee to look at the Mau issue which has become a pain in the neck for Kenya. If it is removal of the inhabitants of Mau, there should be no sacred cows. Everybody should be evicted. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.
