Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also wish to add my voice to this emotive matter. The National Treasury should be sensitive to what Members are going through. Laikipia North and most parts of Northern Kenya have been ravaged by a serious drought. Parents do not even have food to give to their children at home. Right now, all the secondary schools have sent their students home because most of them depend on the NG-CDF for bursaries. I want to tell the Leader of the Majority Party, the House Leadership and Members that when it comes to the issue of NG-CDF, ...

Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I also want to support the Petitioner. Political violence is indeed totally unacceptable. Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you for allowing me because you know the recipients of political violence in most cases are women. I speak as a victim. In 2017, two days to the party nominations, some militia believed to be supported by some of my opponents drove away my 600 goats, which I have not recovered to date. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you know that my goats do not vote. So, I do not know why they took them. Then four days to the ...

they fail to do so, the Government must be held accountable and the victims must be compensated. So, I plead with the Committee that will handle this Petition to at least relook into these issues so that as we proceed to the general elections, people do not lose lives and property and become hopeless after the election. I beg to support.
