benefitted from the construction of a dormitory and a borehole which the school still uses. Out of the 25,000 square kilometres of Isiolo County, 5,000 square kilometres host army barracks in Isiolo. Isiolo Town has no room for expansion as it becomes a resource city. Currently, the County is referred to as the “city of garrisons” because there are five army camps. Those army camps occupy a strategic grazing area or drought reserve area that is used by my community, who are pastoralists. My County also hosts pastoralists from neighbouring communities during the dry spell. Over 50,000 livestock come to ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support the Petition by Hon. Abbas of Wajir East on acquiring IDs. Acquiring IDs in this country is very difficult. Even after the youth fill in the forms, it takes about eight months for them to get an ID. Most of these children are sometimes arrested because they do not have IDs. Most of the time, the youth from North Eastern Province are associated with Al Shabaab . If they do not have IDs, they get into trouble and many of them stay in cells because they are not able to produce any ...

Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to support the amendments on the Energy Bill, National Assembly Bill No.50 of 2015. The importance of energy in this country is numerous. Energy is what we all require. Many of the counties are in need of serious support. Therefore, I rise to support the amendments made by the Senate.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have just been informed that the reason why the Act was not operationalised was because the substantive and comprehensive amendment that is pending before our Committee has not been disposed of. There was the issue of diplomats, NGOs, communities and other interested parties who said they have not been consulted on this Bill. There are a number of issues that need to be amended. So, that is pending before our Committee. I urge, if it is possible that we fast-track it and ensure that we bring it so that before it is operationalised, ...

Exploration of oil in this country is the in-thing now because there is quite a lot of information that many parts of this country have some petroleum deposits. It is important that we have a legislation that will ensure Kenyans benefit.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As a former principal and teacher, I stand to support the Motion as amended. Water is life. If we do not have water in an institution like a school where we bring many students together, it becomes a big issue. I come from Isiolo. Many of the schools there are on school-feeding programmes. They are provided with food to attract enrolment in schools. Many of those schools cook food for children. Many of the children from that particular area namely, Isiolo County, every morning, carry water in a five-litre jerry-can for them to get ...
