He is on record. He said it. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this business of people demeaning projects in other counties is not good. I was just passing information to the Deputy Speaker that he should ask the Cabinet Secretary when Eldoret International Airport will be extended because it is more visible, achievable and economically viable.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my point of order is on Standing Order No.105. Is it right for Sen. Cherarkey to say that the Eldoret International Airport reception looks like a toilet, when Nandi County is suffering from serious problems? They are not even at the level of having an airport. They are still struggling with all- weather roads. The other day we were being treated with demolitions in Nandi. It is a very disorderly county that they have no capacity to comment---

Asante, Bw. Spika wa Muda. Swali langu kwa Bw. Waziri ni Serikali ina mipango gani ili kupanua runaway ya Eldoret International Airport na pia kukarabati airstrip ya Baringo County ambayo inatumika sana kwa mambo ya masuala ya usalama kule Kerio Valley? Ningependa kujua kwa sababu hii imekuwa kwa mipango ya Serikali kwa muda mrefu kuwa uwanja wa ndege wa kimataifa wa Eldoret utapanuliwa ili uchukuzi wa bidhaa za kilimo uboreshwe. Bw. Spika wa Muda, unavyoelewa, Kaunti ambazo zinazunguka Mji wa Eldoret ni kaunti ambazo uchumi wao unategemea kilimo sana. Kwa hivo, tungependa Waziri atueleze kama kuna mipango ya Serikali ya ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, my point of order is under Standing Order No.105, statement of fact. The letter was copied to the Clerk, not the Speaker. Number two, we do not waste time in this House, we debate. There is a difference between being written a letter and being copied just for information.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. Let me first say that indeed, as a country, we need the IEBC in place as soon as possible. We must appreciate that there has been quite some delay in the process. In that delay, there are citizens of this country who are not being represented, either in the National Assembly, Senate, or even in the County Assemblies. Those citizens have a right to be represented and their matters to be heard through their representatives. In view of that, despite the challenges of the Chairperson not writing to the Senate and we take exception that ...

be extended for the selection panel to complete the process so that we can have an IEBC in place. Madam Temporary Speaker, successful or credible election is also determined by the amount of preparation that is put in place to ensure that logistical issues are properly addressed. We do not want to run to 2027 and have an electoral body that has just arrived shortly before elections. That would be giving room for those who will be selected as Commissioners and Chairperson of the Commission, to give excuses of lack of preparedness for the election. In my opinion, and I ...
