• 13 Jun 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. Look at this allocation for crop development. As pastoralists and livestock keepers, which is the mainstay of our economy in the pastoralist community, we are not disputing or complaining about the allocation or implementation of the livestock economy. If you compare crop development with livestock development, they are distinct. Even their actual allocation of resources tells you that there is negligence in terms of the livestock economy: Kshs6 billion versus Kshs25 billion. The Kenya Government has never recognised that there is need to assist livestock keepers in disease control, marketing, and improving the industry. ... view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, thank you so much. I rise to oppose the withdrawal of the Motion because it has become a trend of the 12th Parliament for Motions to be scuttled even before they get to the Floor of this House. So, debate on this issue should be encouraged. We can debate the withdrawal issue and come up with a way forward. We will decide whether to allow it to continue or to have it withdrawn. view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Bill because it is very important and informative. I know it will enable Kenyans to bring food to their tables. view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I come from an ASAL area. Many Kenyans think that irrigation is done alongside permanent rivers and lakes. I happen to have visited India in 2005 as a civil servant and I found that in northern India, most places are very dry and similar to northern Kenya. We did research, fact finding and benchmarking and realised that every village with 10,000 people had a mega dam and its construction could cost about Kshs500 million and above. Those mega dams provided water for irrigation, animals and domestic use. Also, there was infrastructure to deliver water to the many farms and for ... view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: This Bill should be implemented in the whole country and not only in Mwea or Tana River, so that it can assist us. In northern Kenya, there is water shortage and a lot of water is wasted because it is not harvested. It goes to the ocean. I want to send my condolences to my constituents in Arsim. Yesterday, we lost five family members because of floods and 20 families were displaced. This morning, I made an appeal to the Red Cross and well wishers to donate non-food and food items to the affected families, by flood waters. In northern ... view
• 10 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: in knowing what is going on. Otherwise, if we do without consultations, then we will run a risk of not even completing the kind of projects we want to do. To make it worse, we who come from northern Kenya, one big disease that has killed our development initiatives is centralisation. Projects are designed here in Nairobi and pushed to us through our throats without us being asked what we need and what we wanted to do. If this Bill is going to ensure that there is consultation, then it will help us to assist our people to get solutions ... view
• 29 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. I oppose. That means I concur with the Leader of the Majority Party that 10 years is okay. One reason why I prefer 10 years is that, sometimes, civil servants need more training and experience when it comes to working in the Civil Service. If you compare a newly recruited civil servant in the counties at Job Group “S” and one who has served in the Civil Service at Job Group “K”, you will find that the one in Job Group “K” who has worked for more than 10 years is more experienced than the one ... view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, going by what is going on in the Chamber, I request you under Standing Order No. 95 that we close the debate. This is because I see most Members are just saying that they support, which is very good. So, in my view, I thought going by Standing Order No.95, you call the Mover to reply so that we speed this matter. Most of us actually support the Motion. Thank you. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us not be misused here. I had moved a Motion for closure of debate. You then told me I would speak during the next Motion. It is not fair for us to be gagged like this. view
