Mr. Speaker, Sir, Trans Mara District was created from the larger Narok District. Migori and Kuria Districts are in Nyanza Province while Trans Mara and Narok are in Rift Valley Province. Could the Assistant Minister consider forming a water company for Narok and Trans Mara for ease of management?

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also rise to support the Motion. First of all, I support the two Ministers, namely, the Minister for Water and Irrigation and the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources who are here. I am saying this because it is on record that the two Ministers who are here are people who are decisive in this Government. We have seen their achievements. These are Ministers who do not play politics with the lives of Kenyans. They do what is right. In fact, I served under the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources sometime back when I ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity. As it has already been said, this is an issue that is very important to this country. Therefore, we need to look at it very critically. My question is that there are very many people in this forest. I want to be very specific that in the Maasai-Mau Forest, there are people who have claims. What I mean by âclaimsâ is that there are those people with title deeds, be they legal or illegal. These are the people I believe the Prime Minister is talking about in respect of a ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion is timely. It has come at a time when we, as a country, are facing a lot of challenges. We have social, economic and political challenges. Above all, we have a problem of unemployment in this country. So, looking at it against that background of unemployment, this is a very timely Motion.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, since Independence, it is about 46 years ago. What we are looking at today are mere rules and regulations that helped to manage the armed forces. However, they do not have any legal or support of any kind. I, therefore, want to say that I support the Motion that these requirements be done away with.

If you see the kind of rigorous exercise our young men and women go through during recruitment of the armed forces, one will not stop to wonder. Sometimes apart from the height, which I will address later, our youth are subjected to a lot of unfair treatment. They are sometimes undressed in the open which is in itself an abuse to human dignity. Those youth also run many kilometres in the sun. But even after completing those exercises, they are not assured of employment. Some youth faint in the field. These are some of the challenges we, as a country, ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that there should be fairness in the recruitment into the military. When they say that they are going to recruit from the NYS that will open another avenue for corruption, unfairness and unequal distribution of human resource that is so much required. There is the element of medical test that some of these people go through. This is another area that needs to be looked into because it is at that stage that we see a lot of unfairness. That is where corruption is exercised. When officers go through the medical test, ...

Finally, as I support this Motion, I would like to say that we cannot have a super race in the military. We do not have one in Kenya. So, a situation where all these requirements are used to discriminate against Kenyans is unfair.
