Madam Temporary Speaker, I have even, under camouflage, visited it to see whether it is the factory that cost Kshs27billion or it is part of the monstrous theft that goes on in this country. I discovered that it is part of the monstrous theft that goes on in this country because it is just for blending fertilizer. There is no way that thing could have cost Kshs27billion.It was just theft, but that is not the point. I will pursue that another day.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am under no duty to make that explanation. I am talking about urban planning and how we live. If you look at the growth of towns today----, and I am very happy that for the first time since Jubilee came to power they have, in a very tacit single sentence, mentioned Vision 2030. Since Jubilee came to power Vision 2030 and Lamu Port-South Sudan- Ethiopia- Transport (LAPSSET) became a Kibaki dream. They embarked on a tangent unrelated to those visions, but a tacit mention of Vision 2030 in this policy. We have to be very serious ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, the greatest philosophers of life have always said that the greatest achievement for any man or woman in life is to leave this world better than we found it. There is nothing better than leaving this world with the people we lead better than we found them. That is our ambition, desire and must be our goal. This country with all its enormous resources, both human and physical, must come to terms with how to arrest the mushrooming of little towns everywhere without planning. We must come to terms to ensure that every child born in this ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, just for the record because whatever you are transacting will be read in the HANSARD years to come, you ordered the distinguished Senator for Nyeri County to apologise; instead he went on a lofty explanation and ended up without an apology. So, your order to him has not been complied with.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is normally allowed to ride on such requests to ask for further particulars and information on the Statement. The highway from Mombasa to Malaba and beyond is the most important economic artery for this country. Uganda is our number one trading partner ahead of the United Kingdom (UK), Germany and other countries. We have seen misplaced priorities putting Kshs40 billion on a highway from Nairobi to Thika. Right now there is a dual carriage way that is planned to start from Kenol through Murang’a to Nyeri and other dual carriage ways from Kenol through Makutano, Karatina ...
