On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have been engaged in these things. We know what is happening. Is it in order for a Member to give an impression that an entire community is involved when he says “the Marakwet killed”? It is important that you do not condemn an entire community. Is Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo in order to say that “the Marakwets killed”? I heard it very clearly

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. It is important for Members to appreciate that these proceedings are being aired live. The fact that a Member is not in this House does not mean that he has not followed what is going on. I was in a vehicle and heard what was going on. I raised the point of order based on what I heard in here but I have been following the entire debate. So, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as you ably guided us that this is a weighty matter; even in the process of prosecuting it, ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support this Motion. The situation at the border of West Pokot, Elgeyo-Marakwet and Baringo and the challenges that we have seen in that region in the last one year or so are disturbing. It is even shocking when you have a situation where leaders from both sides are unable to sit down and engage. I would have been more excited if this discussion and the altercation between Sen. Murkomen and Sen.(Prof.) Lonyangapuo was happening on the ground as they try to find a solution. To have them come and engage in Nairobi while things ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I now want to ask the Government to take charge of the situation. I am very happy when I hear that the Government is engaging more police reservists. When you see the government getting the armoured personnel carrier, this is sorting out the mess---

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to encourage all the leaders around this border to put their political affiliations and ambitions aside and genuinely focus on sorting out this mess. Avoid the lip service that we continue to see from politicians. Let them go to the ground and genuinely address their people. Let them forget about the protocol of being invited. You are already an elected leader, go and sort out the problem in this border so that our innocent mothers, children and old men can enjoy and live in this country in peace. I call upon the leaders and ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am shocked by that request because this is a very urgent issue and what I am requesting are documents available in printout in the Integrated Financial Management and Information System(IFMIS). We are not talking about an investigation. We just need to look at where the approved budgets are. A printout from the IFMIS does not take more than a week. If the Vice-Chair appreciates the urgency and importance of this matter, this is something that should be done within a week. The request appeared long but the long and short of it is just a printout ...
