Hon. Speaker, Sir, on 6th May, 2013, Nyangator militia from Ethiopia crossed the border, moved 50 kilometres into Kenyan territory and attacked a manyata at Lokomarinya, killed one person and drove away 200 herds of cattle. On 22nd May, 2013, the Merile militia from Ethiopia crossed the border, killed three people and injured three others. The injured are recovering at the district hospital. On the eve of Madaraka Day, more than five people were killed in cold blood in Lorumor Sub-location, Kibish District, Turkana North Constituency. I personally visited the area and joined the survivors to bury those who were ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, a day after Madaraka Day celebrations, on 2nd June, 2013, two men who had taken their livestock to Nakua River in Kibish District, were shot and seriously injured. The two are now at Lodwar District Hospital. The Lodwar District Hospital is now over-stretched with patients recovering from bullet wounds. Those patients are likely to incur medical bills arising from the treatment. What I want to bring to the attention of this House is the fact that the area in which those attacks took place are within the confines of the contested Ilemi Triangle. Therefore, there is need ...

Pursuant to Standing Order 33, I rise to seek leave for the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing a definite matter of urgent national importance following a series of killings of Kenyans in Turkana North Constituency in Turkana County by militia from South Sudan and Ethiopia. Hon.

They killed one person and drove ...

The Government had promised to beef up security in the area and up to now nothing has happened. The most perturbing and the most disturbing issue is the situation where the General Service Unit (GSU) and the Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) camps are just 15 kilometres from the scene of killing. When the incident occurred, there was no response from these security camps. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a Member of Parliament for that area, I wish to urge the Government to empower the local people so that they can defend themselves and this country. Without these people being at ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding the failure by the Kenya National Examinations Council (KNEC) to release Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) certificates for 71 students who sat for exams in 2010 in Lokitawa Secondary School. Those 71 students sat for their exams in 2010 and KNEC went ahead to release their results slips but to date, they have not released their KCSE certificates. On contacting KNEC, it demanded the Principal should pay Kshs5,000 per student for ...

Hon. Speaker, Sir, in the Statement, the Chairperson should state what plans KNEC has regarding those certificates. Two, explain if it is in order for KNEC to withhold those certificates and yet, there were no cases of examination cheating or irregularities which was exhibited by issuance of results slips for the same students. Three, explain if it is in order for KNEC to impose a Kshs5,000 fee which, in my opinion, is too punitive and exorbitant. Four, the Chairperson should also give the exact date when those students will be issued with their certificates so as to access the labour ...
