Madam Deputy Speaker, give me two minutes. It is out of my seniority that I am begging you.

In front of the cameras. The whole country wants to know the generosity or otherwise of the Senator for Uasin Gishu.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I thank Sen. Were. I wish she had shared with me this Statement, because it is something very close to my heart. Pan African Paper Mills in Webuye, with assets worth over Kshs20 billion was sold at a pittance to Rai Paper Mills at Kshs900 million. These properties include prestigious houses in Muthaiga in Nairobi, the entire real estate of Webuye Town, thousands of acres of forest land in the Rift Valley region and parts of the Western region in Lugari. I would want the Committee looking at this matter to tell this House who valued the ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I wish Sen. Were directed this question to the efficient Committee chaired by my distinguished nephew, the Senator of Nairobi County, because it deals with personal emoluments, benefits and problems suffered by employees of the Pan African Paper Mills (E. A.) Ltd., because of an act and omission of an uncaring Government.

Madam Deputy Speaker, as a follow-up to the same Statement, we have the Insurance Regulatory Authority (IRA). When an issue such as this happens and just as the Senator of Nairobi City County has said, I have also been visited by several operators of public transport who are foreclosed and arrested for non-payment of accident claims when they are insured.

Madam Deputy Speaker, I request you that in the interim, as the Committee prepares for further hearings on the matter, to urgently summon the management of Trident and IRA to appear even as urgently as Friday this week to tell the country what urgent remedial measures are being taken to protect innocent Kenyans who have painstakingly paid premiums to an insurance company that is not honoring its obligation.

It started like this, if you remember, with an insurance company called Access Kenya. We are now in the same boat.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I support Sen. Iman’s Statement. It is really distressful to hear or get to know that a person who is alive is freighted to a mortuary with an inscription that he is dead. However, perhaps because the hospital does not have equipment to tell whether someone is alive or dead, this is part of the problem of the medical profession in this country. Have the Kenya Medical Practitioners, Pharmacists and Dentists Union (KMPDU) as a body that registers, regulates and disciplines medical personnel done anything about the person who did this? The Committee on Health ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, is the Senator for Murang’a speaking on behalf of the Government, the Committee or on his own behalf as the Senator of Murang’a? It is not in order for a Senator to stand up and purport to make a Statement on behalf of Government without telling us the source of his authority. If the Government is negotiating and about to avert the strike, why have they not made it public?

Madam Deputy Speaker, is it in order to embarrass the distinguished Senator for Nairobi who is the author of the Statement?
