Sen. Maanzo Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As the Senator for Uasin Gishu familiarises himself--- (Sen. Mandago crossed the bar without bowing to the Chair)

Sen. Maanzo Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important matter. It is not only occurring in cases in World Bank funded projects, but similar cases have occurred elsewhere. In fact, projects funded by the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development, instead of being devolved to the counties are often...

Sen. Maanzo Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, I was the one on the Floor. That is the tribe I was forgetting, but I am aware that they are a number. I am sure Hon. Murkomen knows so that he can tell us from Wangazija, how many more...

Did you ask a question to the Cabinet Secretary?

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am thrown off balance by the questions that my colleagues are asking on waste management.

Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. This matter is so weighty that I wish we had more time to interrogate it. However, I believe we may have to at some point. Cabinet Secretary, in a nutshell, all the issues that have come up from the 1980s and 1990s to now...

Sen. Onyonka, kindly be specific in the question you want to ask the Hon. Cabinet Secretary.

Can the Cabinet Secretary tell us whether the reason why Nairobi cannot collect its garbage and manage it is because of the corruption which is endemic in our Government, county governments and all the Government departments involved in this? That is why we cannot move.
