Mr. Speaker, Sir thank you for giving me the chance to also contribute to this very important statement. I would like to congratulate Sen. Seneta for bringing it up. This is really important in the sense that lives were lost and I would like to console with those who lost lives and their families. As other senators have said, these are not just numbers but breathing human beings that have lost their lives and loved ones are left behind worrying about them, also missing the bread that would have been earned. It is a catastrophe that things like these happen ...

It is sad our country has gone to this level. Riparian land should not be developed. It is land that nature uses to filter our waterways and keep it clean. However, it is sad people who are supposed to take care of it, are the same ones who are corruptly allowing development on it. People are investing their money on it and putting up buildings, houses and shops because they have been given approval by the relevant authorities. A few months later, the same agencies drive tractors to demolish those buildings. How heart-breaking it is because they believed everything was ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I agree with the prescription that the doctor has just given. Therefore, Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri, please write that prescription down for us so that hon. Members of this House can use it to stay away from Malaria. Madam Temporary Speaker, even though I am from a desert region, Malaria is so prevalent there that you cannot believe it. Every time you go to the hospital, you will find many people suffering from Malaria and Typhoid. Many people actually succumb to these infections in those parts of the country. I am, therefore, calling upon those concerned ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to also say a bit on this particular topic which is very important. As the hon. Senators have said, this is an issue that affects the entire country. The roads are in bad shape and, as you know, a number of roads in Nairobi are in bad shape and travelling is very difficult. People are always late to go to places they want to go to because the roads cannot be traversed in a short time. This is costing Kenya billions of shillings every day because a lot of fuel ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to comment on this very timely Statement. Every time I hear our leaders say that Kenya is peaceful, but as I have said so many times, Kenya is not peaceful. Insecurity is so rampant that we wonder whether we are still in Kenya or in another country where insecurity problems are an everyday occurrence. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have talked about the insecurities along the borders of Turkana and Pokot counties and Turkana and Baringo counties which have brought a lot of misery to our people. Many times I have ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for allowing me to contribute to this Statement by Sen. Olekina. Madam Temporary Speaker, this is a fundamental issue that Kenyans should look into. This is a situation where farmers are being victimised by shady deals from the banks and insurance firms. Therefore, we should look into this as a country and ensure that The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I thank Sen. Chebeni for bringing it to the Floor of the House. The question of people abusing children and causing problems to a point where they could infect them with harmful diseases, is one that the country should take very seriously. You only have such problems when there is a breakdown in law. Out there in the society, we have people who are called paedophiles; these are people who are sexually ill. Such people should be ironed out of the society and ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Following the statement that has just been read, I had already requested for a statement on deaths and other devastating effects of floods in Kapedo. What we need here is a real statement. This is a situation where---
