• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. I will be very brief. First of all, I want to thank the Committee for doing a meticulous job and for coming up with names of individuals with exceptional qualities and professionals of high standing and thus, considering integrity and meritocracy. I, therefore, support the Committee for doing that. Hon. Speaker, what I only want to point out is the issue of activism in the Commission. Instead of doing what they are mandated to do by Chapter Four, the most robust Bill of Rights as contained in the Constitution, most of those commissioners end up being ... view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: communities. It was not because we did not have credentials. So, sometimes, sentiments should be taken seriously. Therefore, I support and I want to say that let a name from the Maasai Community be re-submitted.

Children from pastoral communities are actually not going to school. We want this Commission to pursue and push the Government or those authorities concerned to ensure that the Children’s Act ... view

• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I just want to say that we are actually not telling lies. First of all, that language is not parliamentary. I want to state that as a Committee, we will not delve into the Maasai politics. We will stick with rules and regulations that govern the Civil Service. The confirmation we want to give you is that this matter was deferred until 11th March, 2013, so that those chiefs can do interviews because of some reasons. One of the reasons is that there was a Report by the County Commissioner vide a letter dated 28th August, ... view
