Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it was with a light touch. The distinguished Senator for Kiambu County touched my heart when he was speaking about the young people who have been killed in his constituency and beyond. However, truth be told, and Sen. Orengo can bear me witness, in the last Parliament, when you spoke about the Government, you would have thought that you have electrocuted Sen. Wamatangi. He would limp and attempt to stand up to stop you. However, nowadays, he has transformed from Saul to Paul. We welcome him to be objective, critical and help the people who elected ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I finish by encouraging the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to bring monthly or quarterly updates to this House on the status of violations of human rights and killings that are not justified. They cannot be condoned and must be condemned with the same display of courage and depth.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank these two individuals who sent the Petition to this House. Ordinarily, the Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries should be championing these kind of things, even without ordinary citizens prompting this House. I do hope that the eventual outcome of this Petition will be an amendment to the law. Many Senators here, including my colleague from Uasin-Gishu are very good dairy farmers.

by degree holders. It is by certificate holders and diploma holders from the Animal Health and Industry Training Institute (AHITI) colleges. They do a wonderful job. There is not a single degree holder out there who is carrying out Artificial Insemination (AI) services or field extension services that go from farm to farm, home to home, battling diseases against poultry and goats and cows and all livestock. For a law to discriminate against this cadre of professionals, as Sen. (Prof.) Ongeri has said, is actually retrogressive.
