• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, what I am trying to say is that it is good for us, as we try to sort out those issues--- view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it has become very serious. Several schools in my constituency are closed. Children are not going to school. All primary and secondary schools are closed. If you go to those schools, you will find people who have sought refuge, effectively displacing pupils and students. You will find cows in classrooms. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: As we speak, the schools are closed. It is also unfortunate that this House appropriates huge amounts of money to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. We are not feeling that money on the ground. Most of the police stations in my constituency of Marakwet East have been built using the National Government Constituencies Development Fund ((NGCDF), but they are empty. They do not have officers. A sum of Kshs140 billion has been allocated to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, but you still find officers without proper equipment to tackle cattle rustlers. It ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: very serious concern. We are not realising any development on the ground, including security roads, which are under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. The Ministry is supposed to provide security roads so that the officers who patrol the area can be able to curb the cattle rustling menace. We want the Government to be serious about the issue of the cattle rustling. As I said, we need not only declare it as a national disaster, but also as robbery with violence. To stop those people from engaging in cattle rustling, there is need for the Government ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: business and other businesses. We have lost a lot of money in the Office of the President (OP) in the name of procuring security equipment – with one being the Anglo Leasing scandal. In the Anglo Leasing scandal, money was lost in the name of procuring security equipment. We are not seeing any security equipment reaching the grassroots to assist our people to tackle security issues. Disarming pastoralists requires that we start from Ethiopia and go all the way to South Africa. That is because you cannot talk of disarming the Turkana, Pokot and Marakwet people when there are the ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I support the deletion because we have had many fraudulent title deeds acquired at the Ministry of Lands, Housing and Urban Development. This is attributed to fraudsters who collude with officials from the Ministry of Lands. In deleting this clause, we will streamline the process of issuance of title deeds and uphold the sanctity of title deeds. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I plead with my fellow Members that the amendment on the Order Paper has been subjected to scrutiny by the Committee and we do not doubt the capacity of the Committee. When someone brings an amendment to a Bill, let him be sure because some of us are not Members of the Committee. You need to explain so that it becomes clear why you want to amend. Sometimes, we just say delete and then later, we make it worse than the law that exists. I plead with my colleagues to make laws for posterity, ... view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the proposed amendment by the Committee because it provides for legal proceedings where there is an offence or public land has been taken away by individuals. view
• 4 May 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, with due respect to my friend, Hon. Kamoti, who is a member of the Departmental Committee on Lands--- view
