As we talk about resettlement of IDPs, we should include those that were re- integrated back into their homes or families during that time. Most of the re-integrated IDPs come from the former Western and Nyanza provinces and they have been neglected for so long in the resettlement of IDPs.

As we look at this Petition and solutions to the resettlement of IDPs, we should consider the ones from those regions who have never received any form of compensation, although they suffered loss during the PEV of 2007/2008.

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. Before I comment on the Statement on the abuse of children, I would like to say something about the Statement by Sen. (Dr.) Milgo on the financial interventions for food and nutrition security. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

We have an organization called Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC), so her Statement will not be operating in a vacuum. We expect that AFC, as an organization, should take up the suggestions from Sen. (Dr.) Milgo to ensure that some of those interventions are going down to the counties, agriculture being a devolved function. Therefore, it is not in a vacuum; there is a structure through which her interventions can be implemented. Madam Deputy Speaker, I would like to thank Sen. (Dr.) Musuruve for her Statement on the abuse of children. Children are such innocent souls, and the role given to ...

Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker, just a brief comment. I know that we have little time for Statements. However, Sen. Malalah’s Statement on the role of NHIF in the testing of hotel and restaurant staff is very crucial. Madam Deputy Speaker, the NHIF established a task force to conduct NHIF reforms to deal with the Universal Healthcare Coverage (UHC). The UHC has never been as important as it is now during the COVID-19 pandemic. That report that has already been released and submitted should be used by the NHIF in the implementation of NHIF reforms within the UHC, to ensure ...

I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 47(1) to make a Statement on an issue of general topical concern namely, biodiversity protection as key in the realization of food security. The ecosystems of our planet produce a wealth of nourishing food ranging from grains, which are harvested from its plains and steppes, valleys and terraces. All these are possible due to biodiversity as the root of this plenty. These varieties of crops and food on which human ...

economic development and threatens the realization of vision 2030 goals, which is a pillar of creating a competitive and prosperous nation with a high quality of life. The rapid, manmade climate change speeds up the process, without affording ecosystems and species the time to adapt. Environment and natural resources in Kenya are valuable national assets that must be sustainably managed for present and future generations. They offer a range of benefits and opportunities for local and national economic development, improved livelihoods and provision of environmental goods and services. It is time that we enact policies that will control poaching, overfishing ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to support the Statement by Sen. Shiyonga on the mistreatment vested upon Mercy Cherono in Olenguruone, Nakuru County. This is related to the Statement that was presented by Sen. (Eng.) Hargura on the extrajudicial killings or extrajudicial behaviour by our Police Service. Maybe as a country we need to relook at the content of the training of our Police Service. What exactly are they trained on? Across the country, in all stations, the behaviour of the police officers is similar. What are they told that they are going to do out here? If ...
