Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity. At the onset while we support the idea of Nakuru being a city because a lot of us are investors in Nakuru, I must mention that the question of the street children is something that cannot get out of my mind because it was a matter that I witnessed in person.

The acts committed by the Nakuru County Government are criminal, evil and devilish. We have impeached governors for lesser offences. Since Nakuru is bigger that Gov. Kinyanjui and his government, we will elevate it and hope first of all that the people of Nakuru will remove this Governor from office and that the DCI is going to charge these fellows for murder because four children disappeared.

The Bible tells us that God our Father is the father of all widows and all orphans. Nobody is going to ask where those four children came from because they have no relatives; but they are Kenyans. It cannot be right that Eldoret and Nakuru can dump children in a forest and we wish it away.

I would have preferred, and we have human right defenders in this Senate, that this Motion would have included a call for action. To say that a Petition filed here by a committee is not a resolution of the Senate is pussyfooting around an inhuman action. It is very sad.

Nakuru is a beautiful town with flamingoes, fresh water lake, parks, beautiful places, gardens and everything else that a city should have. It is surprising that it has not been a city. It is surprising when you walk along the streets of Nakuru and it is so crowded because of mismanagement.

Nakuru used to be the hotbed of all the politics in the country. The late President Moi used to spend a lot of time there.

We will support this because we know that by elevating Nakuru into a city, we bring greater things, improve and elevate Nakuru with its 11 constituencies. However, I must say this Governor has disappointed me a great deal. It is the same town and county where 48 people died because of a dam belonging to an Asian and the Governor just ignored because the owner funds all politicians in Nakuru. I must tell you that the politics---

Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is not an objection. Nonetheless, to satisfy Sen. (Dr.) Ochillo-Ayacko, these dams belonged to Perry Mansukh and his family; he is an Asian. The same county government has not seen it fit to pursue environmental restoration under Section 28 of the Environment Management Act. I feel sad that we can have governments that behave like this when it comes to people. There is a highly likelihood that once we elevate Nakuru, then they are going to improve the services like Kisumu. Kisumu is a clean city because Governor Anyang’ Nyong’o has put in proper mechanisms.

It is a clean city. We must say it. Let me just tell you.

The action has been taken, let me finish. Mombasa upon its elevation and Governor Joho listening to the plight of people who were concerned, cleared Kibarani. But even after clearing Kibarani, they are still dumping their waste next to where people are living, in Kiembeni. It is terrible. They have done the same in Kisumu in terms of dumping of waste. It is unfair that governors cannot find proper---
