Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will comment on Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale’s Statement. The issue of fake fertiliser is a serious matter in the country. When you hear the amount of monies involved and even the packaging that is done by Government institutions, it means that many farmers are going to be cheated. It also means that when you plant with fake fertiliser, you are not going to have a harvest despite the good rains in the country. That also means that many residents’ efforts are going to go into waste, having worked so hard in their farms believing ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to welcome the team from Makueni. This team was here from yesterday and has interacted extensively with our members of staff, the National Assembly Speaker and his House Business Committee (HBC). This morning, they have been in discussion with the Leadership of the Senate, hosted by the Senator for Garissa. They have learnt a lot and we intend to interact more with county assemblies because we are first from the county assemblies before we come to the Senate and our work is to team up with them to make sure ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to comment on the Statement on the road accidents. Recently, a university bus was involved in a road accident and several students lost their lives. This was blamed on the heavy rains and the speedy vehicles. However, we believe with good training of our drivers on our roads, we should be able to manage the road accidents in this country whereby several people have lost their lives. We would like also to look at what the police have been doing over the years - The cut-offs which have been made by the ...

You mean 20 minutes? My contribution will take less than that. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to note that there is no country in the world without debt. Many families and individuals in the world have debts. The biggest issue is how to manage the debt. We have a good example of the US, a rich country, but heavily indebted. Israel did not have debts for a long time. If they had, they were managed. Business people in Israel do not have debts. However, every African country is heavily in debt. There is nothing wrong with borrowing, so ...
