Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this opportunity. I hear what the Members are saying. As a Committee, we have also toyed on this issue very much. The issue of the geo-survey was, indeed, before this Committee and approximately Kshs5 billion had been committed for that work. Indeed, that work had even started and the consultants had been picked. However, for some reasons, the Executive saw it fit to move this from the Ministry of Petroleum and Mining to the Ministry of Interior and Co-ordination of National Government under the National Intelligence Service (NIS). So, some of these decisions are things ...

right from here in our country. The geo survey is something that we have to get seized of as a Parliament. Perhaps our Committee, together with the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, should have a sitting because this is about mapping minerals. The purpose of this survey was to inform the interested persons where there are possibilities of minerals for them to exploit and help us get resources that can help this country.

Thank you Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this very critical Bill. At the outset, I support the creation of the Tea Board of Kenya which will mainly bring sanity and regulation to this very important industry. The tea sub-sector is one of the major foreign exchanger earners in this country. We have seen the suffering of our farmers in a very big way. In the last few years, our farmers’ earnings have continued to dwindle. There are problems even at the KTDA level and, perhaps, they would need to be addressed by ...

Collaborations and agreements between nations on security, information technology and in particular defence training, are critical to any nation. Kenya in the past has been involved with many other countries. We have had agreements with the British Army, Americans and our military access training to get more advanced technologies. In a changing world where security is extremely critical, it is important for nations to continue collaborating. Kenya has been at the forefront even in peace keeping missions across the world. We want to see a transformed world that is moving in the same direction.
