As the Senate, we need to protect county governments so that their functions and roles in the issuance of leases is respected. If that is done, what we are witnessing will not be seen. We must speak also to the matter of land administration in this country. Land administration is a concurrent function between county governments and the national Government. There is need to synergize and make sure that no level of government overlooks the functions of the other. That is how we will be able to streamline and bring to an end the shameless demolitions we are witnessing in ...

Thank Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion for the distinguished Senator for Tana River on this mater of the activities that affect the downstream. The government agency that issued permits for the dams upstream without considering the effects on the down-stream should appear before this House to explain how that happened. Other than the water that is being released when there are rains that cause havoc downstream, it should be noted that during the dry reason, that river is hardly flowing because of the dams that have been established, The residents of Tana River County and the ...

It is unfortunate that in most parts of this county where rivers flow to, there is hardly any benefit except for a few commercial entities. If you look at the irrigation that is happening using the water from River Tana, it is only for the well to do. It will be recommended that not only should stakeholders or the communities that live along the rivers be consulted; it is also necessary that also the communities that live in the source of the rivers be considered so that they can benefit. We have seen situation in counties like Murangá where water ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the Motion by Sen. Wambua of Kitui County on this matter of security. I wish to defer with my colleagues on the issue of transition and transition gaps on matter security.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Crystal Asige on the safety of children with disability in our learning institutions. The safety of the children with different disabilities in this country is not only limited to the physical security or access to institutions of learning. Their safety should also include the assistive devices that they use. In this country, we can comfortably say that we have let down PWDS because we have only one assessment centre which is the kenya Insitute of Special Education KISE. For one to assist a PWD with correct assistive devices, there ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Statement by the Senator for Meru on that bridge. I had the opportunity to travel that route when I was a public servant. I realized that the accidents that occur on that bridge are attributed to the design of that road and not the carelessness of the drivers. There is no way you can have a “Z” kind of turning on a bridge, on a descending hill and expect the drivers to manoeuvre that turn. The redesign and construction of that bridge should be taken as a matter of urgency by the State Department ...
