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 ...

design. Other than taking immediate remedial measures of redesigning and constructing the bridge, the responsible engineers who designed those roads should be held to account. I am sure that in their professional ethics, safety is paramount in the design of our roads. Therefore, they should take seriously the matters of design so that we do not lose lives as a result of design errors.

Thank you Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Motion on the appointment of Eng. Koome as the next IG of the police.

Eng. Koome is taking over when there are a myriad of security issues in the country. We hope that he will reduce the incidences of insecurity. Today, a number of places in this City are no longer safe for citizens to transact their businesses. There has been a lot of mugging in the Central Business District (CBD) of Nairobi; along the National Archives and the Globe Cinema area. In the recent past, there is a lot of insecurity around Strathmore University. I hope that the new IG will prioritize security in the mentioned areas.

In the National Police Service, there is the issue of recruitment of new officers. That exercise has been marred with corruption in this country. We have parents who have to sell two or three acres of land for their children to join the police force. I hope that the new IG will ensure the exercise is free, fair and equitably distributed across the country, so that citizens who want to serve in the security sector can be given the opportunity to do so without giving bribes.

On cattle rustling, we from the North Rift, have had a lot of challenges particularly in the Kerio Valley. The insecurity situation in that region has caused students not to access school and left many parents homeless. We hope that matter will be thoroughly addressed, so that Kerio Valley can turn from a valley of death to a valley of wealth generation. If the national Government will begin the construction of the two dams that were politically stopped, it is a region that has a potential of supplying fresh produce sufficient to feed this country and have enough for the ...
