Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is one clarification I wanted to make. However, I wanted to also seek a further clarification on the charges by the warehousing subsidiary called Chai Trading. I noticed there are charges indicated for 2013/2014, but there is no indication of the charges of 2015 which I think is also significant enough to impact on the pay for farmers. I still want to have a figure on the charges by the subsidiary company. Being a subsidiary company, I thought it is one of the companies that are financed and maintained by farmers and, therefore, there should ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not read it, but I will have an opportunity to read and get back again. This answer is really expected by the farmers as the second payment. Currently, throughout the country, famers have raised a lot of questions. Some of them touch on the answer which has been given by the Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries Chairman. I would want to interrogate the statement and seek for more clarification on certain areas which are important to the farmers.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the whole issue of IDPs will not be solved as long as there is no criterion for identifying the IDPs or even the situations that creates IDPs. This problem would not be solved in piecemeal. The issue of IDPs revolves around land in this country. So, the way to go about it and solve this land issue is to go back and address the whole idea of land policy and tenure in this country and probably come back to solve the IDP issue. Families are now living in a fraction of an acre. We have a ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that this situation has risen and embarrassed the House. I have seen in many reputable institutions that behind there, is a visitors book which I think can keep a very good record since this is a House of records. The leaders of this delegation can come to either side, particularly in the Public Gallery, register their names in the book and save the Senate the problem of not recognising who visits the House. It might be prudent to make available some visitors book where records can be done at all times without ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also wish to support this petition, especially the request it makes that may lead to some amendment to the law on areas that will help in registration of voters. I just want to mention the case of Bomet County, where there has been a long-drawn-out case of a petition. In the process when that petition has been going on, there has been no voter registration there. The petitioner has mentioned and has stated facts that could be eliminated by amending the law to allow for the duration of a petition, so that it does not ...
