there for long and just coming one night and destroying their property and lives is very serious and not acceptable. Madam Deputy Speaker, recently we heard the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Environment and Forestry asking people living in Lang’ata to be evicted. This is traumatizing to Kenyans. It is very bad. There is something wrong in the way we manage our lives. Whereas we want to conserve our environment and forests and we want people not to grab public land, this must be done systematically and in a humane way. Apparently we wait until everything goes very far, people invest ...

The PSC also ensures that there is career progression and safeguards against abuse. When devolution came, every county with a CPSB, with little experience, started employing people. First of all, even the quality was wanting. Second, in terms of career progression, people were employed--- You ...
