• 21 Nov 2023 in Senate: Stock theft is a booming business that involves many people across the board. There are leaders such as Members of Parliament (MPs) and even Government officers. About 300 or 400 animals are stolen from one area, maybe Samburu, then, they are taken to Turkana’s side and they cannot be found. This is a long chain where people are connected. If you tell the security officers that animals have been stolen, they take their vehicles and they never find them found, yet they are just within the country. On Clause 16(4), the selling of animals between 6.00 p.m. to 6.30 a.m. ... view

• 16 Nov 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Motion. This is not the first time Kenya is sending police officers for humanitarian and security issues in other parts of the world. This country is well-known all over the world as a country of champions. These are people who fly to all the cities in this world. Therefore, this country is regarded very highly. Giving humanitarian support and security to other affected countries is affecting the lives of the police officers. Police officers have been trained and taken oath that they will support and at least go wherever they believe ... view

• 14 Nov 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir for giving me this opportunity. I support the speech of His Excellency the President. It was commendable, well thought out and spoken. It was short and precise. However, there have been concerns. In the public sphere, you will hear what Kenyans expected he would talk about. These are the immediate issues that affected the lives of Kenyans; the cost of fuel, high taxation, and floods. As you are aware, half of this country is marooned by water, especially in northern Kenya. There is food scarcity and vehicles cannot move freely across the country. Animals cannot ... view

• 14 Nov 2023 in Senate: of various interventions, we can recruit teachers. As my colleague Senator for Mandera has said, the counties have taken up the initiative to train their teachers. There are almost 2000 students who have joined technical colleges and universities, and in the next five years, these counties will have enough teachers. This is a good move. The cluster points issue which has been an obstacle to the training of teachers has now been removed by the Ministry of Education. The subject clusters are not there now. Anyone with a C+ can now do a diploma. This has given us leeway to ... view

• 14 Nov 2023 in Senate: The other thing is the Universal Health Care (UHC), which is a wonderful move. The Afya Nyumbani is a good move whereby, 100,000 Community Health Providers (CHPs) have been trained and deployed. However, we need to give them enough facilities. Some of the areas in the Northern part are under-developed. The roads are a problem. This morning, I saw in the paper that a mother who was in labour had to swim across a river to deliver. That mother risked her child by swimming across the river. I was not impressed. However, we need to get enough facilities to promote ... view
