• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: and the many players in the Somali geopolitics always spill over. We have seen the Turbi Massacre that came from Ethiopia and I think it is high time that this Government – of which I am also a part of – and the leadership of this House sent the strongest signal to governments that neighbour this country. This Constitution mandates this Government to protect the lives of the people and their property and we must tell Prime Minister Zenawi that we cannot take this anymore. The life of the Turkana people is very precious and valuable to us. President Salva ... view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, history will judge me that when 3,000 Somali were killed in the Wagalla Massacre, no commission was formed. However, when the post election violence happened; when we have many Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) in this country dating back to 1992 and 1997--- It is common knowledge that when we produce the President or the Prime Minister, we are better off as a community than when we have a pastoralist. This is testimony to the way the Turkana are being killed in the 21st Century under a new Constitution! view
• 10 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to tell my colleague that days are gone under this new Constitution that communities will be discriminated against; that the lives of one community will be more valued than the lives of another community. The Kenyan Government and our good, hard working Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security must go to the bottom of the death of the Turkana people that happened last week. We must maintain security within our borders. The Minister of State for Defence and the Government must always put enough forces along our borders to make ... view
• 3 May 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, from the outset, I want to thank the Budget Committee for the Report that it has presented to Parliament. I have an issue with the last bit of this Motion that says that:- “Pursuant to Article 241 of the Constitution, the Budget for the Ministry of State for Defence should be separated to reflect allocations to each of the three arms of the Defence Forces and general administration”. My problem is mainly on that Article 241 of the Constitution. We should not interrupt that Article because it is very clear. Article 241(1) (2) (3) talks about ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that wool farming is one of the sources of livelihood to the people of Marakwet, with a wool sheep population of 141,582. (b) I am also aware that the per unit cost of wool production is higher than the earnings to the farmers in that particular region. On average, a sheep produces between 1.5 to 2.5 kilogrammes of wool per year in that particular district, while it is supposed to be 4.5to 6.5 kilogrammes per year annually, in other parts of the country and in the world. Thus, ... view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (i) most animals in Marakwet are not housed and, therefore, sleep on the bare floor, making the quality of wool low and the wool itself very dirty; this lowers its price at the market; view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (ii) There is a lot of in-breeding in Marakwet among the sheep; view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that in collaboration with KIRDI, we are currently doing a survey in all the districts where wool production is undertaken by view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think that plan is there. This House has passed it; it is found in the National Livestock Policy of 2008/2009. We have indicated the potential, challenges and the vision of the Ministry of Livestock Development. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not going to send somebody. I am a very serious Assistant Minister; I am ready myself to go to Labot Multiplication Centre. I want to assure the hon. Member that it exists. It belongs to the Ministry of Livestock Development, and it is working. On how much we are losing, that is for another day. view
