Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I interacted with Hon. Dalmas as a businessman under the BT group of companies, as a Minister, as a Member of Parliament and finally, as a Commissioner with the SRC. From the first interaction, you would notice that he was a...

Hon Ferdinand Wanyonyi.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to join Kenyans in commending the great men and women athletes for flying our flag very high in the international arena. Sports play a very important role in promoting tourism and diplomacy and creating national pride. It is high...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Temporary Speaker, from the outset, allow me to congratulate the Committee for bringing this great Report. Having once chaired this former giant committee called the PIC and having gone through this Report, I now realise why it was important to split the Committee into...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We need to solve certain challenges either through legislative means or regulatory frameworks. Which one will we use?

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) They have not come in yet. I am told they are in the next lot, but there is no harm in welcoming these ones.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The LAPSSET Corridor Project is supposed to be a regional flagship project intended to provide transport and logistics infrastructure aimed at creating a seamless connectivity between the East African countries. We all understand that. The Government of Kenya deliberately decided to...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, UDA) Yes! April this year. It has been quite some time. This was a very important issue regarding the status of the water and sewerage system in Wajir Town. Hon. Speaker, you are aware that we are the only county that uses bucket latrines that were...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, UDA) Hon. Speaker, I had also requested for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation on 9th April…

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Can I have two more minutes?

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Some of the gaps that we found relate to the audit timeline. It takes too long before the Committee is seized of the audit report. This duration must be reduced. It takes several years before the Committee is seized of the audit report. The other...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) I second.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a very critical Committee. As the former Chairperson, I recall that when the framers of the current Standing Orders, such as the late Hon. Anyona, Hon. James Aggrey Orengo, and Governor Anyang' Nyong'o crafted them, they were among...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, this response has not attempted to answer my request. I am sure the Chairman, Hon. GK is familiar with this road because he comes from a region which has a lot of tarmac roads and one that is privileged. (Several Hon. Members stood...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, can the Chairman assure the House that this road will be tarmacked before the end of the current term? Hon. Chairman, you should take into account that you lead a very important Committee. Can you also assure the House that planning will be...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) I am sure the Hon. Speaker is also a human being and as a person who has used that road in your earlier life as a lawyer, you must be familiar with it. There was an engagement between the Kenyan and the Ethiopian governments in...

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, I know from where you sit you must be very dissatisfied with this answer. This answer is half a paragraph.

Hon. Adan Keynan (Eldas, JP) Hon. Speaker, I was just saying that maybe Hon. GK, coming from a region that is well taken care of in terms of road infrastructure cannot imagine a road linking Kenya to Addis Ababa, all the way from Addis Ababa, Moyale to Wajir, has been...
