• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: national healing and restorative justice represent a momentous moment to all those Kenyans who have suffered in the hands of the State over the last 50 years. While the 1985 Wagalla Massacre remains Kenya‟s most shocking tragedy--- view
• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Okay. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The 1984 Wagalla Massacre has been the most tragic incident in this country. Since then, there have been many other massacres and killings in this country. The killings have been committed by Kenyans amongst themselves and even by our forces. We trust that the apology that has been given was in good taste and that it will ensure that there will be no recurrence of such massacres and atrocities in this country. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Report is one which we want this Parliament to fast-track, especially when we are back from ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First and foremost, I would like to send my message of condolences to the relatives of the people who died in Mandera Massacre. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, enough is enough. We have talked a lot and it is time to act. Our security apparatus and the intelligence have failed.

In Kapedo incident, the security personnel asked for help and they stayed for 30 hours without being given help. Therefore, we need to ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as leaders and legislators, we should give guidance. We need to begin with ourselves, for example, the Committee on Administration and National Security should lead the way.

• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is not hearsay, it is in the UN’s Monitoring Group Report. These are things which are in books and it clearly reports what is happening. It is not my own making, for your information hon. Member. Lastly, as leaders and Kenyans, this is a testing moment. We need to be together and not divide ourselves along ethnic or religious lines. We should not allow our enemies to celebrate. We should not allow civil servants to withdraw from some parts of the country. If we do that, we will be giving in. We should rather look ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. While I also appreciate the response from the Chair of the Committee I have a few concerns as raised by my other colleagues. One is the involvement of the Members of Parliament when undertaking the selection of the dams. I think that has been the biggest problem; we have not been involved. As a result, there is duplication. You will find in one village or centre a dam is being constructed by a water service board, the regional water authority and the county government. This is duplication of work and misuse of resources. I think ... view
