On a point of information, Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to inform my sister, Sen. Seneta for purposes of record that this land is not on any water catchment area and people have not encroached on anybody’s land. It is land that has been delineated and demarcated for them and they have been settled there for 38 years. It has schools, churches and is developed for them.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I fully support the comments that have been made by Vice Chairperson of the Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations. We are receiving concerns from citizens. We are concerned as citizens about this NIIMS that they are talking about. If CS Matiang’i does not listen to the concerns of the citizens, who is he representing if not them? We represent them. We sit in this Senate; you will need laws to operationalize what you are putting into place. Where will you pass those laws if you do not want to talk to the ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. It is disappointing to have such a hardworking Senator from Isiolo having to keep reminding the Chairperson of this Committee through the Speaker that the people of Isiolo are suffering and waiting for the Senate to pronounce itself on this Petition. We are not even sure that the Committee has done any work on what was presented. It would be in order to do what Sen. Dullo has asked; that we get a report. What has been done so far?

I want to bring to your attention, Standing Order No.232 and was trying to check if this was a report arising out of a petition or a statement. I now see that it is a petition. In regards to petitions, I wish to read Standing Order 232(2).

The word is “may.” Now that the Report on the Petition has been submitted to this House, I think we can allow comments on it, as per Standing Order 232(2), but in the next sitting, because of the workload that we have. However, it will also have to wait until Sen. Dullo is back. I direct that the short debate that is allowed on this Petition be done and given priority in the next sitting.
