Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion. As I support the Motion, we would like to have a moment to be with our people in our constituency so that we can assess and deal with issues affecting them. Members have been able to appreciate the work that has been done by the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. However, in my constituency, there is still a lot to be done because yesterday and even last week, a number of livestock were stolen by our neighbours. That is the only source of livelihood for our ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer that I have is not sufficient to address the issues raised by my colleague in this Question. I have spoken with him and with the indulgence of the Chair, request to give the answer tomorrow afternoon, so that we get the full details from the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC).

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, after you ordered that we issue the Statement today, we took steps to get further details from the Commission to enable us issue a comprehensive Statement. Up to today we have got the information, but we feel that we still need more information so that we can issue a comprehensive Statement.

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the issues raised by hon. Koech are very substantive. We are supposed to give that Statement without leaving out any information that has been sought. If, indeed, the Minister made comments over the radio, that does not amount to a Statement. We need to give the Statement in this House formally.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to agree with my colleague here that the Kenyan people in Bungoma and indeed in most parts of the country are not getting access to justice because of the fact that we do not have enough judges. The situation is so serious in this country because it is not only in Bungoma where we have this problem. There is a problem in Meru, Embu, Kerugoya, Kisumu, Kisii and other areas. That is the reason why we have now been able to present an amendment to this House so that we can amend the Judicature ...

4 Thursday, 1st March, 2012 (P) Mr. Speaker, Sir, for me to direct the Chief Justice to rearrange is a proposal that can be taken but I would like to say that what is more important is to have a permanent solution to that problem.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start with the last item. We will request the House Business Committee to bring the Bill to the House as soon as possible so that we are able to pass this law. The Chief Justice took a step and held a meeting with lawyers in Bungoma on 4th--- In that meeting, he appealed to them to understand the situation and proceed with the matters in court. In that meeting, he promised that immediately we recruit the next judges, one would be posted to Bungoma. He also promised to post a chief magistrate there which he ...

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. There is nothing more useful for me to add because what the Attorney-General has said was the information that I wanted to pass on to my colleague. I think this will help in the process.
