Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those Statements are similar. Instead of issuing two different Statements, Sen. Were can make her contributions to Sen. Malalah’s Statement. She can supplement, add or subtract then it becomes one Statement.

We must think about this. We cannot just say that we passed a new Constitution then sit here and clap hands in support of everything that comes from the Executive because there was a handshake and there is no opposition. Everybody is fighting to be happy, and the Executive and everybody else will be punished for us to just wait for a morsel that we will perhaps never get. That is something that we must think about.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, in my replying remarks, I wanted to thank Sen. M. Kajwang’ for his able leadership in that committee. I served in that Committee under your leadership for a very short period of time; I did not finish a year because it was taking a lot of time.

When I sat in the Committee when the Governor of Elgeyo-Marakwet was appearing, I found out that they have innovatively added a number of things, including the investigators and EACC sitting there. That has ...

Embobut Ward, which is my Ward in Kipchumo Location, Kipchumo Sub-Location, in Elgeyo-Marakwet County. Recently, the country has been experiencing heavy rains and as a result West- Pokot and Elgeyo-Marakwet counties have experienced massive destruction resulting from the landslide in the two counties; more adversely at the Kipchumo and Chesogon Centre.

One family lost twins who are eight years old. At a place called Katelit, there is ...
