Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the country is crying, the unborn are crying and the new born are crying. The young, old and everybody else in the world is crying. On 9th May, 2006 the BBC announced: “Mombasa is seen as the key starting post of international drugs”. In December 2004 in our newspapers, we saw the biggest seizure of drugs worth 1.1 metric tonnes with a value of $90 million arrested in Malindi. We may not know how the same was disposed of.

Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii. Hoja hii ambayo imependekezwa siku ya leo na Sen. (Dr.) Zani ni ya manufaa makuu kwa nchi yetu. Tuna bahati kwamba katika utawala wa mkoloni mzungu hakuweza kuyaondoa madini yote kutoka Kenya. Tunashukuru Mwenyezi Mungu kwa jambo hili. Nchi nyingi za Bara la Afrika ziliporwa na wakoloni.

Pia tuna rasilimali ya udongo mwema ambao hutumika na kampuni kubwa ambazo zinajihusisha na ukuzaji wa mimea kama vile tumbaku, miwa, mpunga na kadhalika. Hivi karibuni tumeona kwamba kuna wawekezaji wengine ambao ni wadanganyifu sana; ...
