• 18 May 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for also giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Petition. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: Eviction in this country has come so inhuman. It is happening in the countryside and in this city. I wish to go on record that I am a member of the Jubilee Party which has formed this Government. I apologise seriously to Kenyans especially in Mau Forest where even the Head of State visited and promised to settle them and yet we have this eviction which lacks structure and formula. He promised those people, it is in video recordings and everywhere. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: The Head of State had promised them that they would never suffer again. Immediately after we got this government in fact, the worst part of it started. We do not want to cover the government and say that Jubilee government is not responsible. We are squarely responsible for the mess that has happed to our people. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: If trace the historical background of this eviction, it goes back to the colonial period. These people were displaced by the colonialists who established the white highlands farming and were squatted in forests. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: After Independence, some of who-is-who in this country took the land which historically belonged to those people and replaced the colonial masters and then pushed these people further to the forests. Later on especially during the Moi Era, these people continued to suffer. They were cheated and their land was taken by these people who established tea plantations and other things. view

To make matters worse, there is not proper structure. Even in the Mau and Nandi regions, the Government has stretched its hand. It has been building dispensaries and schools. Whenever eviction takes place, Government resources go to waste. view
• 18 May 2021 in Senate: This inhuman eviction of people should stop. I encourage this House to take serious action through the respective Committee so that--- view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me this opportunity to make my observation. First of all, I would like to note that this is a very important process. The people Wajir County are expecting this House to determine what will happen to them in the next 14 months before elections. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: These are very few months that we can let anything go that way. Even one week or a day for a dangerous person means a lot to the lives of the people of this country. view
• 17 May 2021 in Senate: It is so important that we must consider every allegation that has been brought to this House very keenly so that judgment may satisfy the needs and wishes of the people of Wajir. I have read the charges brought before us. The first one is on gross violation of the Constitution of Kenya 2010, County Government Act 2012 and Public Procurement and Disposal Act. This is a very serious violation. We are seeing all these happening in all our counties. As Sen. Wetangula said, in every five years, this country goes on an exercise to elect very humble 47 governors. ... view
