• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: The issue of the acute shortage of teachers in Wajir and the entire region of Northern Kenya especially in the three counties of Mandera, Wajir and Garissa has been long overdue. I know that there are so many teachers who have been moving. There is a high turnover of teachers because of insecurity. TSC has used the region as a recruitment centre. I understand that the situation of insecurity is still there. Despite recruiting, after one year, the teachers move out. The security issue is not in the entire region, but along the borders. The other part of the region ... view

• 9 Aug 2023 in Senate: What plans do you have to solve the problem of teachers? Teachers can be moved to other parts of the counties instead of removing them from the entire region. What are your plans so that we do not continue suffering? view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I want to thank the Hon. Cabinet Secretary for the good work that she is doing all over the country. Hon. Cabinet Secretary you are aware that there are certain areas that have a lot of challenge with water and afforestation program cannot succeed very well.

The schools used to have some kind of competition for ... view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank the Cabinet Secretary for the good responses she has given. I come from Wajir County, which is 56,000 Square Kilometres and it is a landlocked area. There is no river that flows; there are temporary flowing streams. However, the land is endowed with underground water. However, because of the dry seasons that are very frequent, water is now becoming very scarce. I know many of my colleagues and Members of Parliament (MPs) are attached every day to your office. I think we have upside down priorities. For one, what Wajir County needs now ... view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: Countries like Egypt and all those places where it never rains, never experience water scarcity. They depend on River Nile and we see where that river flows. In the neighbourhood of Wajir, we can have some water from Tana River, Sosiro, Balwa and all those places. view

• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: I do not know if your Ministry has a national plan. I am aware that in 2013, 2017 and up to 2022, there was a major dam that was supposed to be constructed in a place called Bute. Bute is one of our high-potential areas at the slopes towards the end or the start of the Ethiopian Highlands. That dam has not been constructed up to now. We are wondering, what is happening. It had been one of the investments that will be able to do irrigation and water for people and livestock. One other thing I am asking is ... view
• 2 Aug 2023 in Senate: She omitted one question; the question for Bute Dam which has taken almost 15 years to start. What is the position? view
• 26 Jul 2023 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support my colleagues on the concerns that most of the Cabinet Secretaries have evaded this House. As you are aware, this is a presidential system of Government. It was only through the consultation of the Executive and Parliament that the Standing Orders of this House were changed for the convenience of the people of Kenya so at least, they can hear how the Executive and Parliament are related and working for them. view
