8 Oct 2013 in Senate:
Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I also want to thank my friend, Sen. Haji, the Chairman of the Committee on National Security and Foreign Affairs. I really regret that the answer that the Chairman has given is completely unsatisfactory. If you listened carefully, in every case that he has referred to, he said “pending investigations”. These cases have been pending for the last two or three years. The answer is very clear that our people at the Kitui-Tana River border are being slaughtered every now and then by the so-called bandits and the Government is doing nothing about it. ...

8 Oct 2013 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I appreciate that ruling. In the Statement that he has given, Sen. Haji has indicated that police posts will be established at Malalani, Egamba and Enziu markets when funds become available. That is a common phrase used in Government circles. I do not think this House will accept that kind of a promise. Could Sen. Haji come up with a definite promise as to when these police posts will be established? He should not tell us this will be done when money is available.

2 Oct 2013 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for this opportunity to make my contribution to this Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I support this Motion and the recommendations made therein. First of all, let me laud the action taken by the county representatives from the County of Turkana for raising the red flag when they saw this. I dare say that other assemblies around this Republic should copy the work that has been done by the members of the county assembly of Turkana. This is because in my own mind, I believe that it is possible that there ...

26 Sep 2013 in Senate:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you heard the Chairman say that right now, the Government is disbursing Kshs2.6 billion. By all standards, that is a lot of money. If I were to give an example of Kitui County, that money does not exist. If it does, it is only, perhaps, to a small area. The Ministry has always said that it is a pilot scheme. For how long is this pilot scheme going to go on when our people are sinking in poverty? We want him to tell us when he will lay the list that has been requested on the ...

19 Sep 2013 in Senate:
On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We have listened to the lecture from the distinguished Senator for Mandera. As I speak, is he in order to try to say that other counties should not get this money simply because his county is a beneficiary of the Fund?

19 Sep 2013 in Senate:
Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I sought permission from the substantive Speaker and he did agree. But then you know very well that yesterday, we were delayed in a meeting as Commissioners and, so, when I came, he said that I could give it today. In fact, I did approach you on the Chair and informed you of that.
