Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I enjoin the distinguished Senator of Vihiga to decry the rampant accidents of loss of lives at Kaburengu. Kaburengu is very close to Bungoma. It is the last small market before one crosses River Nzoia into Webuye, Bungoma. This stretch has claimed many lives, as the Statement provider has said. The area starts from a downhill stretch at a market called Chimoi and winds dangerously down towards the valley of River Nzoia for about five kilometers. I do not know who tells most truck drivers that they save fuel when they engage free gear. When ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at countries like Israel, they are giving third round vaccinations to the entire population. The United States of America (USA) has vaccinated almost two thirds of the population. Here, we are still lagging behind. We understand that the Government is receiving a lot of donations and acquisition of vaccines, but we need extraordinary measures. The luxury of saying that you get vaccinated if you agree--- We previously had a case where a sect called the Akorino, who constantly refused to go to hospital, used to be prosecuted whenever they kept their sick in the ...
