Sen. Okenyuri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to comment on the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda on upgrading Kisumu National Polytechnic to university status.

Sen. Okenyuri Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have actually said this matter currently has been directed by the Secretariat to the Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations.

Sen. Okenyuri Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not my statement.

Sen. Okenyuri Mr. Speaker, Sir, I just saw this directed to the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations and I thought that because it touches on the trade, maybe, we should have handled it better.

Sen. Okenyuri Mr. Speaker, Sir, I need to confirm from the Secretariat. It is a statement that is touching on the management and operations of the Kenya National Police DT SACCO.

Sen. Okenyuri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the Statement by Sen. Cherarkey. It is actually sad that we can lose a doctor who treats patients for free. This is not the first time we are having such cases. The Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) has been...

Sen. Okenyuri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have talked about KCC then, but the New KCC is currently frustrating farmers by delaying payment.

Sen. Okenyuri Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to support the Statement by Sen. (Prof.) Tom Ojienda on the general welfare of national Government administrative officers.
