I understand the struggle that my friend, Hon. Okello, is going through and I sympathise with his position. Because we were involved in the report as part of the National Government Administration Officers (NGAO), the principle of collective responsibility and considering that the next Cabinet Secretary for the Public Service still sits in this House, I would offer to push for the release of that report. Part of the reason is that I have also received petitions from across the country, especially from teachers posted to certain areas they consider hardship, yet do not benefit from hardship allowance. I will ...

Hon. Temporary Speaker, I thank you and the House for the very robust interaction. I promise to work with you, especially in sourcing resources. We should operationalise the administrative units together. We should also organise the National Police Reservists (NPRs) in the right way so that they can serve us better. We should also resource our administrators and police officers with proper vehicles so that we can respond to security well. We should also provide the equipment required to ensure that our officers do a good job. I appreciate the interaction we have. When we do this, it helps me ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. On Sen. Chute's response, I was clear that we do not have money for compensation. However, with the support of National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF) among others, some of the affected have been favoured in terms of bursaries, including bursaries from the county government. In addition to that, since we do not have money for resettling people, as the statement indicates, the encouragement was to make the conditions better for people to go back to their manyattas for security operations and then give them a chance to go back. As a result of ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will be as brief as possible. On the question of preventive measures in Kirinyaga, we have listed them in the responses. Some of the preventive measures that we apply include early preparations, working with local communities, strengthening the Nyumba Kumi Initiative, intelligence gathering, and training officers. All of them are listen there. Concerning the question by Sen. Mumma, I agree with her that this is the time to do so. This is not just a role that is played by the national Government. County governments also have a responsibility. To be fair, last year, county ...

This is an important Bill. I appreciate what the Senate has done in the last few weeks, especially with regards to our brothers and sisters who serve in our constituent assemblies in the counties. Remember that we have already passed legislation in this House that grants financial autonomy to our county assemblies. That Bill is presently on its way to the National Assembly for consideration. One of the biggest requests that the county assemblies have made to this House as an elder brother in the devolution family is to ensure that we grant them the freedom with which they do ...
