I support this Motion. I know Kitui very well. The great people of Kitui are, of course, very welcoming. The Governor there is a good friend of mine and I will be happy to visit her and have a chat with her, because it is a while since I last visited her. She is also a good example to many of us and many other ladies, because she has fought the good fight and she will continue doing that. Who knows, maybe one time she will be our President.

Madam Temporary Speaker, Kitui County is one of the counties that we share a lot in common. It is vast, with a lot of challenges. I know that they have been having a lot of challenges with water, which we also face. On insecurity, I sit with Sen. Wambua in the Committee on National Cohesion, Equal Opportunity and Regional Integration and every time we have met, we have discussed about insecurity in that area and the number of people who have lost their lives. I know that our Committee will give a lot of attention to that, because he has ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, before I sit down, I know that the last time when we went for the same sittings outside Parliament, many people criticised us because they felt that we were misusing resources and that we were out there to enjoy ourselves. Therefore, it is good for us to tell Kenyans that Senators are there on behalf of the citizens and devolution. It is only when we go out that people will know and understand our responsibility. We will also be able to support you and understand the dilemma that you are in and bring your problems to the ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I also stand to add my voice in welcoming the delegation from the Parliament of Sierra Leone. We are happy to have them. As Parliament, we have a very good relationship of visiting others and benchmarking. It is good to have a group of Members of Parliament, especially the majority being women. We are happy to learn from one another. Madam Temporary Speaker, in Kenya we say that women have a long way to go, but we put into consideration the achievements that we have done. I am sure you too have a lot of responsibilities in ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for allowing me to stand and add my voice to this very important Bill. I congratulate Sen. Kasanga for coming up with this Bill that is very relevant especially at this particular time when we know the problems we are facing as a nation. Much has been said by hon. Members but we all have something to say about this particular Bill because of our own experiences in our counties and even in our country. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ...
