I dare say that some of those lands have 100 years leases that have expired. Instead of the Government adhering to the new Constitution of public participation to call the original owners and ask them what they want, the leases are being secretly renewed at the Ministry of Lands. Somebody who lives in London owns land in Kenya. They visit as a hobby or to holiday with their friends, to show off how they own vast land in a place that they do not live, while the ordinary people are suffering. This has to be stopped. I urge the Committee ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to inform the distinguished Senator for Siaya that what he has said has tickled my brain to understand and realize that, in fact, communities like the Luo, Luhyas, Kalenjins and Kisiis, who live in the hinterland, must forever thank the Maasai Community for killing slave traders, who tried to come through their territory, to capture our people and take them to the market in Bagamoyo and Zanzibar.

Public debt is hurting everybody and we need to talk candidly about it. It should be the priority business on Tuesday.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I know we agreed that we should not ride on Statements. However, I just want to raise one issue as we celebrate the girl child. The Senator for Nairobi should be alarmed with this because a man was arrested for kidnapping and killing 14 children. That was about two months ago. It is baffling, disgusting and alarming to hear that the same man escaped from a police station. If the man had confessed to having killed children more than two months ago, one would have expected that he is charged and taken to a remand. What was ...

Today there was a scanty news item in the newspapers that two policemen have been suspended because they were on duty when he escaped. What was the man doing in a police station, having confessed to have killed children two months ago?

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, I serve with the distinguished nominated Senator who has brought this Statement in the Committee on Finance and Budget. Sometime last year, we engaged the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Finance. We had a very robust move on governors to pay pending bills to save ordinary
