• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: the sub-location up to the national level. Therefore, there was no way more than 400 people could die without anyone noticing or seeing it. It cannot happen. There is no way an issue can happen in a place where there are chiefs. Chiefs are people who get first-hand information. The sub chief is someone who is the head of a sub location. There were elders and Nyumba Kumi guys including the Kaya groups. It is actually shocking. How come all these human beings, all these leaders, were blindfolded on this issue? It should not have happened. It must be something ... view
• 29 Nov 2023 in Senate: We must control these kinds of actions where people are dying, kids are being buried, and others are leaving school. I am not even impressed up to now. I have not seen one single action. The Report has given very good recommendations. However, I do not know whether it will see the light of day. It may go to the shelves. This is a challenge that this House must take further action. These people must be brought to book. There are people who are now in remand and people keep saying that they should be released. How can you release ... view

• 21 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this Bill. As you know, seven per cent of this country is arid or semi-arid. The most helpful purpose we can use for that land is livestock keeping and production of livestock. As a result of neglect from successful governments, much development still needs to be done. Therefore, most of the time, pastoralists lose their animals due to drought and are left to fend for themselves without any intervention from the Government. Livestock theft is a menace and has rendered pastoralists in a proper state--- Somebody owns almost 1000 herds of ... view

• 21 Nov 2023 in Senate: In Ethiopia, guns are legalized and everyone owns a gun. Unfortunately, Kenyans are not armed and firearms are illegal. Therefore, Kenyans are the weaker side and need help to defend themselves. This has led to many Kenyans losing their livestock because our borders are porous. When the animals cross the border, you will hardly get them. If you get them, you will only recover one or two. It is not only in the pastoral areas.
