Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, because I have been personally involved in peace efforts that have borne fruits in warring communities, one of the key aspects that made it fruitful was the relationship that we had with the NCIC. We worked hand in hand with other Government agencies and security agents. It is very important for those of us in peace-building efforts to realize how much more we can gain if we work together instead of having the communities versus the Government and the security officers. We should build synergies to ensure that we all work together. I believe that is ...

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir. I was saying sometimes we know that there is a lot of donor funding in issues to do with peace building. Sometimes, if that is your only source of income, you would not want peace to be realized so that you can continue getting the resources.

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Report and to congratulate the team that worked on it. It is quite a detailed one. Within the five minutes, it is important to echo what many of my colleagues have said. In Kenya, we are not short of laws and good laws for that matter.

The exact question should be; there were certain clear, specific recommendations that were worked on by the Committee and deliberated in this House. The answers that were given are also general; touching on everything. That is why Senators are just responding to this thing. Unless Sen.

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity to congratulate the Members of the Mediation Committee - I was one of them - for putting in many hours. As the Senate, we did away with the entire Bill. The Mediation Committee had to look at the Bill clause by clause to make sure that we could agree on the many areas that we had issues with.
