• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I rise to seek leave for the adjournment of the House to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding ravaging drought situation in most parts of the country. The performance of both the 2020 short rains and the 2021 long rains has been poor across country, resulting into a severe drought among the arid and semi-arid counties of Turkana, Kilifi, Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Kwale, Marsabit, Kitui, Baringo, Makueni, Isiolo, Tana River, West Pokot, Samburu, Meru, Laikipia, Lamu, Taita Taveta, Kajiado, Tharaka Nithi, Embu, Nyeri and Narok. The drought situation is likely ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: consequences for household food scarcity, crop and livestock production, access to water, the nutritional status of children, and local coping strategies. The cumulative impact of two consecutive poor rainy seasons, coupled with the COVID- 19 Pandemic, insecurity, pests and diseases have caused a rapid rise in humanitarian needs in the arid and semi-arid lands of Kenya. It is as a result of this that the President of Kenya, on 8th September 2021 declared the drought situation a national disaster, with Mandera, Garissa, Wajir, Marsabit and Isiolo being the most affected. It is against this background that with your indulgence, I ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is such moments that the input of a ranking Member will be required. The issue before us on the outset is not a government Bill or matter. It is a report emanating from a Petition brought by a Member of this House. So, based on the practice and the Standing Orders, it is the Leader of the Majority Party – and I have done it several times – that can withdraw a government agenda at any stage in consultation with you, the Speaker. This matter is not a government agenda. It is not a minority sponsored Bill ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Let me come back to procedure. Last week on Thursday, you ruled that the Leader of the Majority Party of this House can file a question to a committee on behalf of the people of Kipipiri. You get the essence. Forget about a Chair. We have seen Members filing questions to their own Committee not once, twice or thrice. Last week, somebody rose and said the Leader of the Majority Party cannot do that and you ruled that the Leader of the Majority Party, Hon. Amos Kimunya, in the interest of the people he represents in this House, can file ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Hon. Mbadi is right within what he said. I totally agree with him. He is a man who understands the procedure but he should have raised this matter before. It should have been in the House on Thursday before the debate was completed. What is before this House right now is the Question to be put? We need a very valid reason. It is neither the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security nor the Vice Chair who is asking for a deferment. You as our substantive Speaker signed the amendments that Hon. Rasso brought ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: We were here last Thursday. There was a very hot debate here. The amendments were carried. We were told to debate the Report as amended. I remember I took the position to amend it. I look at those amendments and the Reports and let me tell this House – and I have discussed with Hon Junet off the line – that either way, if you kill this Report or approve it, Hon. Rasso is a The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: winner. Let me put it very clearly, Hon. Rasso was not very happy with the Report and so he brought amendments. If you approve the amendments, he is a winner. If you kill the Report and say the Nays are more, he is the winner. So, what are we postponing? People must read the Report and I am sure majority of the Members here were not here on Thursday. They never read the Report. I want to repeat and ask Hon. Mbadi. The more we postpone, the more we cause more tension in Marsabit. I said it last week. If ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise under Standing Order No. 33(1) to seek the leave of the House in order to discuss a definite matter of urgent national importance regarding the ravaging drought situation in the pastoral counties that includes Garissa, Wajir, Turkana, Marsabit, Mandera and most parts of the country. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: From last year, the Meteorological Department gave a very bleak picture on the expected rains in the country. This year, the situation has not been any different. With the reduced and depressed rains or no rains at all, Kenyans in the arid and semi-arid areas are experiencing what I have never seen before. It is nothing short of a humanitarian crisis! Indeed, during the month of August 2021, most arid and semi-arid counties, including my own county of Garissa, remained generally dry and the rainfall received was below average. I have just come back from Garissa and I am sure ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I really want this House to look at the Kenya Food Security Outlook Report and the National Drought Management Authority Report that projects that in the pastoral areas, livestock conditions have deteriorated due to lack of vegetation and water. Mothers, children and herders are trekking for over 50 kilometres in search of water and pasture. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is not only the livelihood of the pastoralists that is affected, but also of wildlife. I am sure colleagues have seen on social media a video of a giraffe that has been affected. It has gone ... view
