Unfortunately, no! I have just given an explanation that a child can sit down, fundraise or collect money to buy paraffin, identify who is going to burn and how they are going to leave. In criminal action, you have what we call preparation to commit a crime. How do you treat this person like a child? How can a child who carries a gun, buys and distributes bhang be treated like a child? When an ordinary parent in Kenya takes their child to a boarding school, they imagine that everybody is like their child who knows no evil, speaks no ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I want to respond to that with just one point. There is a borstal institution in Kakamega called Shikusa Borstal Institution. When I was sitting in the Special Select Committee on Prisons, I went there. It was such a sad picture to find 500 boys committed to such an institution. One of the boys gave us a testimony that by the time he ended up in Shikusa Prison, during the time he was spending in the police station before he was finally sentenced to that prison, he was sodomized continuously. When you see the situation in those ...

Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise to second that Motion. We have learned from past experience that brevity is a better way of doing things. Even the 15 minutes is far too long for doing things. That is the maximum we can. I support.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. First of all, I want to thank Sen. Wambua for this Bill. It surprised me a little that he said The Cash Crops Act would ignore or leave out this very important crop called ndengu. I have now learnt that this very important crop called ndengu is also called mung bean. I did not know that. It is, indeed, a tragedy that the people of Kitui, Makueni, Meru, Embu and Tharaka-Nithi had a glut of this ndengu. I am glad that Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki is now here. I wanted to mention this when Sen. Wambua ...
