• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to support. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. There must have been a criterion that was used to arrive at these 11 counties that were selected. For the Committee to have indicated that some are in dire need and others need to be assisted, there must have been some good reason. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: It is sad that it is now almost four years since that particular need was identified, yet it is being reported that some of them have received assistance while others have not, even when the Ad Hoc Committee identified these counties to be in dire need of some infrastructure.

• 15 May 2019 in Senate: I support the Motion and it would be good that this be fast-tracked, so that we get a solution. From 2015 to now is a long time for a county to be waiting to be assisted to get a headquarters for its operations. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Let us have Sen. (Rev.) Waqo. view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Proceed, Sen. Kinyua. view
