• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me begin by thanking the distinguished Senator for Kisumu County for bringing this matter once again. This is a matter that we have canvased in this House during the previous Parliament. A Statement was brought, which led to the drafting and presentation of the County Boundaries Bill by the former Senator for Makueni County. We also have the same challenges in Narok County.

It is important for us to know the financial status of our country. The railway ended up in Narok County in the middle of nowhere.

This is a matter that we canvassed in the last Parliament through a Petition. It was also canvassed in the 11th Parliament through a Motion. In fact, we had the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Labour and Social Protection, Hon. Simon Chelugui, either last or early this year--- view

• 25 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I hope that I can get back my line of thoughts. I advise this House and the distinguished Senator for Kitui that instead of us talking and not getting to the end of this game, it is about time now that he seeks to get a champion from the ‘Lower’ House, so that this matter can be budgeted.
