Mr., Temporary Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I reserve my comments. I will not support these regulations unless I can be told that some of the contentious issues will be changed. I hope that the report by the Committee on Finance and Budget is going to find its way here because it says some really different things about the equalization policy and fund. It is unfortunate that the deadline for the sunset Clause for this equalization fund is about to be reached and yet Parliament has for the last donkey years been going back and forth about the regulations ...

Mr., Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was hoping that the Senator for Baringo County would be here because 55 years after Independence, there is a place that was identified in Baringo County where women are giving birth under a tree. That is a tragedy of monumental proportions. The colour of marginalization shows the country as red all round and a very small part in the middle as green. That should not be the map of Kenya because that is a map of historical injustices. That is a map of the people who think that other Kenyans are less than them. That ...

We must admit that the sin of omission is partly because of the Committees of the Senate. I am going to put it on record. I say so because the information I have is that the Petroleum Development Levy Fund (PDLF) was supposed to cushion Kenyans from fuel price fluctuations. The Statement I raised in March was floated by the Committee.
