Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have been undertaking a process of data migration from the platform that we used to operate to the e-citizen platform. This has necessitated these delays. It is true I owned up to the public also that there are delays because of the movement to the e-citizen. We were also building a new platform for reasons that I will share in the future once security-related processes that are ongoing are complete. I now assure the people of Kenya that the system is up and running. It may experience some hitches because we are still in the process ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe on this situation. We were with him in another function where the Governor also spoke about it emotionally. The road from Maralal to Baragoi is 100 kilometres which is not easy to tarmac in such areas. However, it is scientifically proven that when the roads are paved, it improves security issues. That is the truth in the northern part of the country, particularly in Turkana. We have a plan to make sure that we improve this road of Maralal-Baragoi. We have a road from Churo Amaya through Tangulbei ...

The Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration has been there many times to deal with the question of banditry. As a leader from Kerio Valley, I am concerned. We are working together to see how my Ministry can contribute in combating this disease of banditry. I commiserate with my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe for the loss of his friend, a former Member of County Assembly (MCA). Pole to the people of Samburu and the Kerio Valley region at large. As the Government promised, we will deal with banditry with finality.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, I agree with Sen. Maanzo on the prompt and adequate compensation. As I said earlier, we should not have been in this situation if we had recast our budgetary approach. However, we are there because of how we manage our budgetary process. I promise you that should the resources herein announced earlier, which is about Kshs100 billion, be given to the road sector, I believe we will compensate those people who have stayed for long. For the Tseikuru Airstrip, I agree and I have consulted the Managing Director (MD) who is sitting next to me. We should ...

Bw. Naibu wa Spika, ni kweli kwamba nilisema kwa muda wa wiki mbili, mwanakandarasi huyo atakuwa amerejea kuendelea na kazi kwenye barabara kutoka Ngong kuelekea Suswa. Kutokana na sababu ambazo nimeeleza hapo awali – inahusiana na mambo ya fedha, hasa bajeti – hatukuweza kumrudisha mwanakandarasi yule kwa sababu licha ya kuwa hatukuwa tumemlipa Kshs600 million, alihitaji zaidi ya pesa iliyowekwa kwa bajeti. Ilitubidi tuendelee na mazungumzo. Tuna imani kwamba hivi karibuni, mwanakandarasi huyo atarejea barabarani. Nachunga ulimi wangu kwa sababu sitaki kurudia kusema wiki mbili, licha ya kuwa alikuwa amekubali kurudi kwa muda wa wiki mbili. Lakini tulipata shida baada ...
