• 31 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would also like the Chairman to clarify on the same road. There is a road coming from Chesegon connecting with the same road hon. Murgor is talking about, which is being constructed by Intex. I remember last year in the last session, requesting that those guys from Intex should go back because they were constructing on the hilly side of the constituency and there were rocks falling down on the hill. I lost one constituent because of those falling rocks and I remember the Chairman telling me that they are going to do something. So, ... view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I think the Statement requested by hon. Wamalwa is about something which is in court. It is sub judice view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support this Bill. Mining for a long time has been affected by corruption and forgery.

• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: With regard to social corporate responsibility, some international companies come over and do, say, a small road and a health centre. They then call this social corporate responsibility. In my county, Elgeyo Marakwet, the Tullow Oil Company is exploring petroleum in Keiyo Valley. We have had several meetings to resolve conflicts. The Tullow Oil Company gave out scholarship worth Kshs1 million for four constituencies. That is like targeting five students in every constituency. This is an average of Kshs100,000.

We must come up very strongly and see how we can curb such kind of issues so that we do not again break our country when it is a time that we should ... view
