I recognise your presence, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There was a write-up and a cry by a certain girl called Joy Kakenya Enolebachat. I have no proper way of putting her cry because it is in mother tongue. Many people in this House may not be able to get the deep pain of the girl but I hope that today, on this Floor, I am able to speak for her and for others. I also want to quote one William Lasoi Kipintoine, who wrote on social media; that not everything done should be viewed in terms of fighting the Government. ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This was very important to me. I was just saying that as land leases expire in Laikipia and other areas across the country, the ownership of that land should revert back to the original owners. My hope and prayer is that the ownership of the land in Laikipia will revert back to the indigenous Laikipia Maasai people, who are the rightful owners of those ranches. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we cannot afford sideshows on this issue. It does not matter who owns the cows. As far as we are concerned, they could be owned by a Somali from Isiolo, a Samburu, an indigenous Laikipia or a Kikuyu. The question that I have raised on this Floor is: Why kill livestock by the bullet? Were these cows armed? The Member is trying to bring sideshows and justify possibly who has been giving orders to the security agents.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Procedural Motion. I know the Eleventh Parliament has tried, a lot of times, to address the issue of the two-thirds gender rule. But I feel like we did not do enough; we did not do justice to the requirements of the Constitution. Giving us a second or third chance to try it, there will be no harm. I just want to address myself to the contribution by the Member for Cherangany. I think there is one thing that he must have forgotten. That, for Kenyans to have the Article on the ...

Hon. Speaker, I do support the progressive nature of what we want to pass. We are not saying that we must meet it now, but let us have it progressively. I support the Motion. Thank you.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the State of the Nation Address by His Excellency the President of the Republic of Kenya. Let me applaud and acknowledge the balanced Speech by the President acknowledging the successes and also the failures or challenges the Jubilee Government has gone through in four-and-a-half years. There are acknowledgeable successes of the Jubilee Government and obvious milestones. The SGR which passes through Nairobi and through my constituency, Kajiado East, 120 kilometres heading to Narok and the other places, is one milestone of the Jubilee Government. The electrification ...

constituency, we have seen street lighting in our town centers particularly Kitengela. Hopefully, it will extend to Isinya. These are works that can be applauded. If we remain focused, there is still a lot to be done. My hope and prayer is that Kenyans will realize that the Jubilee Government started with a lot of challenges. We must acknowledge the fact that two years of Uhuru’s leadership were really taken away by the running around to attend court cases at the International Criminal Court (ICC), which our President and the Deputy President were subjected to. We would not have expected ...
