Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the amendments proposed by the distinguished Senator for Garissa. At this age---

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am pleased to support and speak highly of these amendments being proposed by the distinguished Senator of Garissa. Tree planting should not be an exercise where people are forced to do it. Tree planting is something that all of us must make it a culture,...

Of course, I would like to be informed, if you allow that.

I think that is what we should now require county governments to make sure that as part of the money that we send to them, they set aside an amount of money that must be dedicated to climate change.Madam Temporary Speaker, we care about the future generation. If we do...

Yes, Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to be informed.

Yes, absolutely. Sen. Thang’wa. Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. I thank Sen. Olekina for the contribution.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.53, I rise...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The principle of separation of powers, requires the county assemblies to be independent. However, currently, as we are in this country, I blame the framers of the Constitution, because of the rush to set up county governments, they never saw a problem when it...

Madam Temporary Speaker, it is sad that in the 21st Century, we are discussing about femicide. This is the time we should be discussing about equality and not even equity because women in our society contribute and they play a critical role in the development of our culture and society....
