Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to join the Senator for Vihiga County on the Statement that he raised earlier, on the increased insecurity and murders in Vihiga County. This matter goes beyond Vihiga County. On 23rd February, 2020, one young man called Mr. Victor Otieno Awili, also known as Abayo, was found murdered in Kasgunga Ward, Suba North Constituency.

What makes many Kenyans to sometimes lose faith in the Government is the fact that the provincial administration still remains in the form that it was in before the promulgation of the Constitution. The provincial administration has become even stronger. Whereas in the past, chiefs and their assistants would walk on foot, they all have motorcycles today. Whereas they would rely on telegrams and postal letters, they have mobile phones today. It then becomes difficult to convince the common mwananchi why it takes longer to solve some of these murders, and why it takes long for the provincial administration to ...

On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I will not talk about your in-laws, because I thought you had some in Homa Bay and not just Kericho. I think I am revealing too much.

I am following on the comments raised by Sen. Cheruiyot, that the Urban Areas and Cities Act, which you have rightly indicated does not have timelines. I was just wondering; you have guided this House very well in the past where there are such lacunas, because there is no timeline for the Senate’s consideration and its transmission of the decision to the President. This is such that the Committee can report to the Senate, yet we are not bound in how fast we should take that to the President. Perhaps this could be one of those other areas where you ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that the Fisheries Management and Development (Amendment) Bill, Senate Bills No. 22 of 2019 be now read a Second Time. This is a straightforward amendment Bill.

The Fisheries Management and Development Act which we are calling the principal Act established a number of bodies, for example, the Kenya Fisheries Council, Kenya Fisheries Service and Fish Marketing Authority. Three years down the line some of ...

communities - be it Lake Victoria, Lake Turkana, Sagana and the Indian Ocean Belt - always complained that there was an authority to market milk, coffee, tea, pyrethrum, meat and other products. However, since Independence, we have not had an authority to market fish. That is why this Parliament, in its wisdom, agreed overwhelmingly to establish the Fish Marketing Authority. It was mandated with coming up with a national fish marketing strategy. Three years down the line, we still have not crafted a national fish marketing strategy and we have a chaotic situation where fish is coming in from China ...
