Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. A lot has been said about Dr. Abdullahi Ibrahim Ali. I want to stand here specifically to talk about Ms. Lonah Mumelo.

I stand here to testify about a lady of substance who is coming to join Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC). Hon.

Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I rise in connection to what has been said about Mount Elgon. I want to say that I am the County Women Representative, Bungoma County (CWR), where Mount Elgon falls under. I want to talk about Chepkurkur Primary School. This issue is not new. It featured in the newspaper sometime back. As the CWR, Bungoma County, I visited that school in June and we had a meeting with the community. The first person who blew the whistle about girls getting pregnant was the headmaster of the primary school. The Chairman of the school together with ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to rise and support the Motion as a Member of Parliament from Bungoma County. The situation in Bungoma with regard to security is worrying. By yesterday, people who were critically injured and in hospital were more than 20. As I am talking here, many people are not sleeping in their houses. Old men and women, fragile and frail as they may be, are actually sleeping out of their homes. This situation is running out of hand. It is very important that the Government looks into the situation in Bungoma. Hon. Temporary Deputy ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say this: In Bungoma County, there are issues that touch on the police officers. There is the issue of ethnic balance which, to me, is a factor. For example, in Bumula Constituency, out of the 65 Administration Police officers that operate in the constituency, 45 of them come from one ethnic group. The police officers have overstayed there. Most of them have stayed there for more than ten years. They have become locals and they are no longer officers. They go and drink with the locals. They get so drunk that when ...
