• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As I said in the statement, a Committee was formed, not only to deal with the Westgate issue, but to also deal with all other disasters. I do not think that this committee will be going out to seek for assistance. I will advise hon. Sen. Khaniri to take up this matter with the committee that is responsible for assisting the victims of Westgate.

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the first place, no money can be given to deceased persons. Secondly, one has to know whether they are really needy cases.

• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of livestock being returned and over 600 crossing the border to Uganda and being sold, I think the Government officers on the ground must have had this information from their counterparts in Uganda. As to where they were recovered and to whom they were given after being recovered, I will require another two weeks to be able to find out to whom these ten head of cattle were given. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the question of compensation to cattle rustlers, this is a historical problem in this country which has been here since ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that common sense states that those victims of cattle rustling are the ones who should be compensated. I said that is not possible. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the issue of all the police deployed being in Turkana, I want to be given another two weeks.
