Mr. Speaker, Sir, sadly, we lost two pupils; one of class six and another of class seven two days ago. They were just shot in cold blood in school. Sometimes, violence continues to an extent that it seems normal. When you report to the police or the Office of the IG, they seem to say, “Oh! It is happening again?” This is because it seems so normal. I ask the Chair of the Committee, Sen. Sakaja, who has been acting on behalf of Senator Haji, to visit my county and familiarise himself with the problem of cattle rustling in West ...

In fact, I saw ...

must be seen that President Kenyatta is leading the nation towards a collective responsibility for all of us to implement the Constitution on matters that are related to fighting corruption. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, therefore, I support the appointment of Mr. Mutyambai. I support the fact that he is a qualified citizen. Unless something else comes up, the information that we have shows that he is a man who has lived a life of integrity. I would like to tell him that once he assumes public office and he is on a pedestal where everybody can see him, he must ...
