Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know if you noticed that both of the Members were on their feet at the same time, which means that one of them was out of order.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I join the rest of my colleagues who have boldly spoken on this matter in support of the Statement. It must be difficult being a leader in this country, particularly being in the legislature. This is because on one hand, you know what to condemn and, on the other hand, you want to defend the people behind these schemes. It is very unfortunate. Just because somebody wants to be defended, we should be very careful so that we do not look like we are not reconciling our minds with our hearts. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is sad and gloomy in this Chamber because we feel the loss of our departed friend and colleague, Sen. Ben Oluoch. When I was a Minister in the Ministry of Information, Communications and Technology (ICT), we shared with him the broadcasting and media space. He had made a name in that particular sphere. We then met here briefly, he was taken ill and now we have lost him. On my own behalf and that of the people of West Pokot County, I convey my earnest condolences to the family and friends of our departed ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, when a Member rides on a point of order, he is out of order. So, we are all out of order.

I am worried that my good friend, Sen. Olekina, is taking over the Speaker’s roles in determining what is in order and out of order. Is he in order? You should rule him out of order.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this Petition and request the Committee that will deal with this Petition to find the best ways of funding these conservancies. Right now, it is the well-wishers and donors who fund conservancies. This makes it difficult for the locals to participate. So, I would like to see that the conservancies are used to improve the lives of the people living around them. They should be centers through which the local people can begin to understand the value of wildlife and the environment, so that they can conserve them. It is also ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I also want to thank Sen. Chebeni for her Statement. This is just to affirm that even if all of us are angry about what is happening with our children. We urge the relevant authorities in Government, beginning with the case in the Nairobi school and in other schools, to move with speed and deal with those cases. There is something that is happening with our psyche. We need to have not only a conversation about why girls are being raped, but also why men are behaving in that manner. What kind of urge do ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much for the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. To add my voice in concurrence to that of colleagues who have spoken before me, I would like to support this Motion and also congratulate the Senator for Nakuru County for the courage that she has shown in standing with her people. If anything like this happened in West Pokot, I would be here too, seeking the same kind of a select committee to deal with the issue that deeply touch the lives of our people. Crisis occurs also in West Pokot, but in ...
