• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Shukran Mhe. Spika. Kwa niaba ya watu wa Turkana Magharibi na mimi mwenyewe, ningependa kutoa rambirambi zangu kwa wakenya wote na jamii ya hayati Mzee Moi. Ninamkumbuka binafsi kama aliyesaidika na karo ya shule ambayo yeye mwenyewe alianzisha kule Kabarak. Niliweza kutunukiwa scholarship ya shule hiyo hadi vile nilivyo hivi sasa. Nimefanya kazi kwa sababu ya nafasi aliyotoa. Namuomba Mwenyezi Mungu ailaze roho yake mahali pema peponi. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity. From the outset, I wish to support my colleagues and the Mover of this Bill. I thank Hon. William Kamket for bringing this Bill to the House. The Constitution in Article 204 establishes the Equalisation Fund with very specific objectives to be achieved and a specific timeline. Because of that, the writers of the Constitution envisaged a country that is equitably developed because this country has a history of regional imbalance in terms of development. So, with this Bill, we will be operationalising that Article of The electronic version of the ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: the Constitution in a more effective and efficient manner. Currently, and as speakers have already observed and stated, the Equalisation Fund has been actualised through the public finance management guidelines prepared by the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury, which has domiciled the operations, administration and implementation of the Equalisation Fund in the State Department for the National Treasury. In my observation, the current administration has been very inefficient. The identification and implementation of projects by the administration has been very ineffective. When you look at the Equalisation Fund as it is currently implemented, monies were appropriated by this House. ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: This Bill will help us. With the timeline of 20 years which is supposed to end in 2030, which is the year when the Vision 2030 is also supposed to have achieved development strides in this country, we could easily talk of a country that will be canvassing within itself in a manner that is more equitable and respectable. I pray that the Bill is passed and that our governors allow for development to proceed. There is no monopoly on development in counties by county governments. The national Government is still there. It should be in a position to undertake ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to make my voice heard on this Motion. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: From the outset, I thank Hon. Lokiru for bringing this Motion. What we should be addressing as a House and country is the security policy that we have in place for northern Kenya and the pastoral areas. There is a difference in the way pastoralists live, in terms of their economic and social behaviour compared to the settled communities of this country. For example, my sub county, which is Turkana West, covers an area of about 15,000 square kilometres. There are only two police stations with hardly 100 police officers posted to cover that The electronic version of the Official ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: vast region with 500,000 citizens. We are also taking care of over 200,000 refugees who are being protected in my sub-county. You cannot expect police stationed in only two police stations to police an area of 15,000 square kilometers. This is the challenge we are facing. That is the reason NPR formerly the Kenya Police Reservist (KPR) were brought on board in the Arid and Semi-Arid Land (ASAL) in over 10 counties. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Those who have spoken before me have said that the onset of the NPR helped in reducing insecurity which the citizens of the sub-counties were facing. We are now going back to where we began. Where there was no NPR. The people are now insecure because of the disarmament exercise the Government has embarked on. It is out of this that illegal bandits, cattle rustlers and illegal arm dealers are having a field day. The stationed police officers do not follow the bandits or cover the areas. Cattle rustlers have a field day and that is exactly the experience Hon. ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Our constituents and their properties are insecure and therefore, we are impoverishing them. What is the intention of the Government when they make such a policy? I am reminded of last November when the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government proposed having a security conference in Turkana County. This was the right thing for him, so that he could understand that without security, there can be no development. People are going to have their resources directed to security related activities. Up to this moment, that conference has not happened and we are hearing of the disarmament policy. ... view
• 24 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to make my contribution. I want to add my voice to the Presidential address. Generally, the Address by the President in this august House was hope-inspiring. It is important for this country to keep its hope alive. The challenges that this country is facing at this time are increasing; they are becoming enormous. Therefore, the leadership of the country needs to speak and read from the same script. That is what, generally, the Presidential Address meant to do. However, there is need for us to move from words to action ... view
