Sen. Kinyua Bi. Naibu Spika, sikutaka kuongea kuhusu hili jambo. Lakini, ninajua kwa nini amekosea. Nimekuwa nikimfuatilia kwa mambo ya mgongo wa chupa. Amefanya makosa kwa sababu, wakati sisi tunasema mambo kwa kingereza ‘bottom up’, nimekuwa nikimskia akisema. Ndio maana amefanya makosa hayo na ninamuelewa.

Sen. Kinyua Madam Deputy Speaker, thank you.

Sen. Kinyua Thank you, Madam Deputy Speaker. I have looked at this Report and it is true. The observation is very right, but the recommendations are wrong. It is like saying Sen. Kinyua has teeth and a cow has teeth. That observation is very true. However, concluding that Sen. Kinyua...

Sen. Kinyua On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator for Meru County was in order to ask that question because when Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. mentioned miraa, we were confused as to whether he was talking about the County Government of Meru or the National Government. That...

Sen. Kinyua Asante Bw. Spika kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nakumbuka hilo jambo kuhusu madiwani. Tuliangazia jambo hilo na tukaandika ripoti ambayo ilisema ya kwamba madiwani wanapaswa kulipwa. Kama vile Sen. Wambua alivyosema, Kamati ya Leba na Ustawi wa Jamii ilisema watachangamkia jambo hilo. Lakini, baada ya kulivalia njuga, hakuna jambo...

Sen. Kinyua Asante, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii.

Sen. Kinyua Ninakashifu kitendo kile kwa sababu hio ni dhuluma kwa binadamu, na haikubaliki popote. Lakini, hicho kisikue kisingizio cha kufanya Nakuru kutokuwa jiji. Tunapinga jambo lile. Tukio kama hiyo haifai kufanyika katika kaunti yoyote. Tukio kama hilo pia lilitendeka katika kaunti ya Uasin Gishu. Tunapinga vikali mambo kama hayo....
