Mr. Speaker, Sir, in conclusion, we hope that action will be taken in this country. We also hope that other cities can be elevated so that they can benefit for what it is that comes from the national Government particularly in development of roads. We must insist that these cities become part and parcel of what is called Kenya Devolution Support Programme (KDSP), where cities can benefit from the World Bank in terms of its elevation. Nakuru cannot be another city where it is one street city. It must be improved. We insist on those things.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a point of order. Owing to the time left and in view of the business still on the Order Paper, I move under Standing Order No. 31 (3) (a) that we extend the sitting time until we complete the business at Orders No. 10, 11 and 12 in the Order Paper. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This is a procedural Motion. I rise to second the Motion to adjourn to 6th July, 2021 and adjust the calendar so that we can give our good staff a break. Sen. Wamatangi has forgotten to congratulate our support staff. Without our support staff at the Senate and in our Committees, we would not get very far with all the reports. On behalf of our colleagues, I want to give you a hand for the work that you do including our able team of Serjeant-at- Arms who are always with us and all our ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Petition and agree with a lot of the sentiments raised by the Senators that it appears as if governors are hoarding information. They cannot release information at county level until members of the public come to the Senate for very little information to be given. I must credit this petitioner for being vigilant. I saw the same issue when it came to the COVID-19 funds in relation to Makueni County that simple questions asked by the county assembly were not responded to until

the Senate Committee on Health convened a sitting so many days later. It is the same everywhere. It was the same case when the Governor of Nakuru was requested to make Statements about the Petition on the street children who were dumped somewhere in a forest. Madam Deputy Speaker, this Petition is timely. The Committee that will hear this Petition must make it very clear that the right to access information under Article 35 of the Constitution is not a preserve of information brought to the Senate. That information must be given to the public. In fact, at some point, ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for the opportunity. We share a border with Taita Taveta County and that means that we also share the same problems. The elephants that move around aimlessly and freely from Tsavo National Park affect our people in a similar manner. The problem that the people of Taita Taveta County are facing are not any different from what we face. Unfortunately, the people of Taita Taveta have the best tented camps, lodges and tourists who spend a lot of money there yet compensating them becomes very difficult. Allow me to highlight the principle. I have a ...

We know why he wants to privatize parks. It is because he is holding brief for people who he wants the land to go to. It is not an innocent remark. It is a remark made on behalf of the bourgeoisies who want titles of our parks so that they own our national assets.
