Hon. Temporary Speaker, thank you for allowing me to comment. I do not know how the Hon. Member for Garsen will take this. The matter he is raising is not only a matter of tourism or wildlife, but it is also a security issue. I am saying this because the Hon. Member is my neighbour. He talked about people being arrested on the side of Kitui and on the other side. One of the places he mentioned is Kone. Kone-Kaliti is somewhere in my constituency. For us as the people of Kitui, we have a problem with people being told ...

Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I have listened to Professor and she is doing her best to respond to the matter that was raised by Hon. Naisula. But it is important for us, as people’s representatives, to fully understand this funding model. I am sure the students and parents are also listening. The indicators that will be used are not very clear. Is it possible for Professor to clearly explain the 30 per cent and all the other percentages? She should also explain those who will not get funding because they have other means. It is not clear. As ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I agree that the Statement is urgent. There are also other roads that are already being used like Kibwezi- Kitui Road yet compensation has not been done. It needs to be addressed urgently. I was wondering whether this matter will also touch on the National Land Commission (NLC). The Vice-Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands is in the House. I was just wondering whether it may touch on NLC. Hon. Speaker, I am seeking your guidance on that.

Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I will start by congratulating Hon. Mishi Mboko in absentia. She is very busy dealing with the matter of the Committee on Appointments, but she has brought us a very important matter on mental health in this Motion that we need to deal with. This will ensure that we have, at least, a unit at the county level taking care of people with mental issues. The Constitution gives us the assurance that everyone should have the highest right to healthcare and level of support. This may not be ...

It is not only among young people. I am taking care of my mother who is over 75 years old, and I am dealing with a case of dementia. I know that if Members of this House or people in our villages were allowed to tell their stories, you would find that people are dealing with non- communicable diseases such as high blood pressure, blood sugar, and all that. Being that people are living longer now, we are dealing with cases of dementia. I believe that it is important for anybody, for example, my people, the people I serve in ...
