Hon. Speaker, I join my colleagues in mourning the passing on of our departed brothers. It is important for me to remember that when I was a young reporter for the Daily Nation in Nakuru, I served very well with Hon. Yusuf Haji when he was the Provincial Commissioner (PC) in the Rift Valley. I learnt a lot from him. He was a very firm man who had an eye for detail in whatever you wanted to report as a journalist. My only regret is that Hon. Haji went without a resolution on the matter of Kapedo. He has gone ...

Hon. Speaker, I just need your kind indulgence. Last week, I sought a Statement from the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security and you made an order on the same. As I said last week, the security situation on the ground is not very good. I have not got any indication as to when they are likely to call a meeting, and days are running fast. You made an order that the Cabinet Secretary appear before the Committee within seven days. I am apprehensive. I spoke with the Chairman of the Committee earlier, but he did not seem aware ...

Government offices are closed. People are not able to go about their normal The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

businesses. Schools and hospitals are closed. Women are giving birth in the bushes. It is a terrible state of affairs. I am very disturbed by the casual manner in which this Committee is taking this situation. We do not live in a police State. We live in a country of law and order. The children of Tiaty are also children of God. Whatever may have happened may have happened, but you cannot punish an entire constituency of over 300,000 people because of the crime of a few people.
