Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to reply. From the onset, I would like to thank all Senators who made contribution on this very significant amendment as far I am concerned and as far as many other Kenyans are concerned. These Kenyans are affected by the existing legislation which gave very soft grounds for people who flout the regulations in the previous laws. As I said, this is a minor amendment but it has far reaching implications as far as the safety of Kenyans is concerned, in terms of being attended by qualified persons. I want to thank my colleagues who ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also wish to join my colleagues to first of all express sadness and send my condolences to citizens of this country who have lost their loved ones needlessly, out of these incidents. As I speak on this Motion, I, as Senator for Bomet and, perhaps, my colleague from Kericho County, get worried when we hear about clashes in Kopere area which is only 50 or 60 miles from Kericho. I am worried because there is an industrial action that is going on in Kericho in the tea estates. It was purely an industrial action but ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise to support the Petition by the people of Kajiado. My sympathies mainly go to the young children who are seeking education in Nairobi. Because of the need by parents to have their children educated, they actually transport them every morning to Nairobi and back home.
