Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise to support the Statement sought by Sen. Chute on this matter of security. It is a growing concern that the territorial borders of this country continue to be defiled by foreign troops. We are seeing some leniency in action taken to protect our borders. This reminds me of the case of Migingo Island and so many small islands in Lake Victoria that have been occupied forcefully by Ugandans. The Government of Kenya has kept silent while Kenyan citizens who depend on fishing in those places are suffering. The invasion by the Ethiopian Forces in Marsabit ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Something has not come out clearly on this matter of doctors, salaries and human resource at the county. The payment of salaries in counties is not a favour to doctors or any other civil servant, but a right. The fact of the matter is whenever salaries delay in counties, it is for the entire county public service staff, including doctors, drivers, agricultural officers, planners and others.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wanted to inform the Senate Majority Leader, that the delay of salary payments in counties does not affect doctors only. When there is a delay, the entire county public service staff is affected.
