Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you and the House to welcome the visiting delegation from the Republic of Zambia. While the Senator for Tana River County was doing a similar feat, he made an appeal on behalf of his sons. Knowing him very well, I believe that appeal must have been personal for a wife from Zambia. Therefore, the delegation should take it as such. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I admire Zambia because when there is food insecurity in Kenya, the conversation turns towards getting food from Zambia. The hon. Members from Zambia will know that Kenya admires the measures that ...

When we were in school, we were taught about the Tanzania-Zambia Railway (TAZARA). It was about linking and providing access for landlocked countries to ports, other frontiers and the ocean.

Kinyua, Senator for Laikipia. I inherited a job well done and when I handed over to Sen. Abbas, I can see they are doing even a greater job than Sen. Kinyua, Sen.

Fisheries Authority. I know that there is a livestock Bill that should again take seed livestock matters from AFA. If we were to go with the matrix that Sen. Mumma and Sen. Abass have presented to this House, this House will be busy, we will be dealing with the right things. We will ensure that when Sen. Chute is asking about boreholes in his county and pushing his governor to drill boreholes, knowing very well that money for boreholes has been sent to that county and it is not sitting in Maji House somewhere in Nairobi. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I ...
