• 3 May 2023 in Senate: This is real the story of endurance and bottom up. If this is the quality of MCAs we have in counties, then I will be the first proponent to say that before anybody comes to this Senate, should have walked the journey from being a MCA to Member of Parliament (MP), then eventually to Senator. I am not saying that it is wrong for you to skip being an MP. However, it is good practise for you to have a session there. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so that we do not waste too much time, I hope that the Chair ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I have been following the proceedings of this ministerial session. Before I comment, allow me to laud the new CS. He has displayed a lot of professionalism and understanding of his Ministry. view

• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Unless Members of this House want half-baked answers, they should be prepared to send substantive primary Questions. However, to ambush a CS when he has come to answer an issue on land in one county and expect him to demonstrate his control of the Ministry by responding to an issue in another county, is because you want a shallow answer. I appeal to my colleagues and Members of Parliament (MPs) that there is a need for us, during this time, to get comprehensive responses on primary issues. We cannot push the CS to give us statistics. He has not walked ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. My condolences to the bereaved families and those who have sustained injuries. I condemn what is taking place in Marsabit County. I wish to ask the authorities to take time and read the report of the Kennedy Kiliku’s Commission on tribal clashes in 1992. This Commission went into this matter and spoke on many things, which there is room for us to work on. This is because at that time, the political inclination of tribalism in this other half – especially amongst the pastoralist – was a question of water and pasture resources. view

• 3 May 2023 in Senate: We cannot have such a strong Report with such strong and useful recommendations and not make use of it. Whereas the media and those of us who are outside the pastoral communities keep on blindly blaming the issue of contestation over resources, we miss the modern-day challenge that is no longer water and pasture. It is bad politics. In fact, I am surprised that our Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and National Administration has gone to the North without carrying alongside with him the political players. We need to call all the politicians to come together, so that we divorce ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you are a young man. I will tell you, with respect that in 2006, I lost personal friends and colleagues who we used to sit with in this House and drink tea with. Some of them were colleague, doctors, like Dr. Guracha Galgallo. I lost the then deputy leader of the opposition Dr. Bonaya Godana, one of the finest Kenyan politicians I have ever seen in this House; a brilliant former Minister for Foreign Affairs and a Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) holder in Law. We lost them because, at that time, the Gabra and the Borana ... view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: Two or three years ago, I saw one of them trying to increase his majority because the Borana are too many and he comes from the Gabra, by pretending that he was upping the interests of another smaller tribe. He even went as far as changing their name. They were referred to as the Watta. He told the people in Marsabit that we have changed them and they are now called the Wayu. In the process, people started killing each other. view
• 3 May 2023 in Senate: In the incident of 2005, 60 people were murdered at Turbi, the infamous Turbi massacre. Majority of them were children who had nothing to do with politics or competition of resources. They were just little children of God playing and going to school and coming back home to play again. This House must stop that nonsense in Marsabit. view
