(MCAs) know who the forest officer is. These are things where we now need to wake up to. We will then come up with interventions so that we make sure we can change the direction our Country is taking and increase the forest cover as we have been advised to do. Looking at United Nations Environmental Program (UNEP), we have a world organization stationed in Nairobi. I do not think that in the last three years I have seen any relationship or engagement between the national Government, county Governments, and the officials at the UNEP as to how they can ...

we will be having three million cars on the highways. What are we going to do with the pollution? How are we going to manage our pollution? Why are we not encouraging more electrical cars to be used in Kenya? Why are continuing to use fossil fuels? We are now using petrol and diesel as if nothing is happening. I think these are issues that the Senate and all of us in this House can sit and continue to interrogate so that we can achieve a greater purpose for our being around here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, thank you for ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, without transgressing on the rules of the House even though I am on a point of order. From my institutional memory, I would like some of my friends to carefully listen to me. I have been in Parliament for not less than 18 years at the National Assembly. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I started my politics with you. You remember when the former Speaker, Hon. Marende, during that time when we had the Speaker’s position with one vote. I am proud that I am the one who gave that vote. There were certain wonderful and

incredible decisions that Hon. Marende made. Some of the very bad decisions he made, they include that we, in the Opposition, were busy clapping and clamoring on how we were happy that the committees that are supposed to be the Oversight Committees should never be allowed to be with the Opposition. How we wished that ruling had given us that so that by today you would find all the Oversight Committees held by the Minority side to check and oversight the Majority side. Secondly, without being personal about this and I totally understand, sometimes experience sometimes enables somebody who is ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity. Just the way my colleague has said, I welcome the team from Samburu. This place is interesting because when you come, you get information as to how you are going to run your offices. The team that is in this Chamber is a team of professionals. Most of them will be willing to guide, support you and have some value addition to your training. For the team from Nyamira, I would like to hold the fort on behalf of my brother Sen. Omogeni who is out on official duty. Since ...

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, Sir. According to our Standing Orders, I have to make a declaration and that a similar matter is affecting me personally. However, I shall not divulge or even discuss the details of that case because it is in court. This is a national issue. The issue of land title deeds where you find a piece of land is owned by three or six people is common. There are situations where nobody knows where the records of the pieces of land and the title deeds and all the Priority Development Project (PDP) and all the documents that ...
