Thank you, Hon. Aden Duale. Hon. Speaker as I conclude, I am talking from my heart which is very heavy. I only want to say that it is unfortunate that we are almost coming to the end of this term without a single person from the Ndorobo community in any of the commissions or anywhere in this Government. I want to tell our oppressors, probably one day when St Peter is calling their names, the Ndorobos will be the assistants of St Peter and they will not see heaven.

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I, the UNDERSIGNED on behalf of residents of Kirimun Community in Samburu and Laikipia Counties, DRAW the attention of the House to the following: THAT, the Kirimun Community land spans a total of 55,000 acres along the Ewaso Nyiro River and has been a core part of the Samburu Community which has used it as its grazing land since time immemorial; THAT, in 1923, the ownership of the land was forcefully taken away from the Samburu Community by the British Colonial Government and handed to a white settler known as Major Y, The electronic version of ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take this opportunity to thank my sister and neighbour. It is high time we called a spade a spade and not a big spoon. Just like what other speakers have alluded to, failing to plan is planning to fail. It is true that Northern Kenya, parts of the Rift Valley and Central Kenya, including Laikipia North and Kieni, are ravaged by serious drought. We have had 13 straight months without a drop of rain in those areas. Also, going by what is happening, especially in Laikipia and parts of Isiolo, it is true ...

Today, the people of Laikipia are suffering. People are being killed, our livestock is being pushed out of Laikipia simply because Isiolo and Samburu have failed to plan. The ecological zone of Laikipia North, Samburu and Isiolo is more or less the same. However, because there is planning in Laikipia such as range management and range rehabilitation, those who have failed to plan their rangelands are causing havoc in Laikipia. I thought devolution was meant to address these very unique problems that are unique to every county.
