Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had requested for a Statement from the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations on my county’s border dispute with Isiolo County. I know that he has now gotten an improved answer. Is it in order for him to give it to the House?

Mr. Speaker, Sir, last week the Chairperson of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs brought a statement to this House regarding the boundary dispute between Meru and Isiolo counties, but it was incomplete.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, in my earlier request, I had mentioned that we were suspecting that the national Government was refusing to assist in the resolution on the boundary between Meru and Isiolo counties. We had given a very specific programme which had been agreed on between the leadership of Isiolo and Meru counties.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think it is obvious that the Government does not want to move with speed to resolve these boundary disputes. In our case, we provided the surveyors and the resources.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, could I make a simple request that the Chairman and I visit the Cabinet Secretary so that I can hear from the horse’s mouth why he cannot do this very simple exercise which we had agreed on with his predecessor Cabinet Secretary, Ole Lenku? It is even in writing in their files.

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, I beg to move:- THAT, clause 4 of the Bill be amended in the proposed new clause 12B by–(a) deleting paragraph (c) appearing in sub-clause (2); (b) renumbering the sub-clause appearing immediately after sub-clause (2) as sub-clause (3); and, (c) deleting paragraph (c) appearing in sub-clause (3).

Mr. Temporary Chairman, Sir, the reason is that we included one Member of the National Assembly in the composition of the Senate Service Committee. This being a Senate Service Committee, a Member of the National Assembly has no business sitting in the Committee. So, the amendment is to remove the Member of the National Assembly from the Senate Committee.
