• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: living inside the forest, why degazette it in the first place? Let them live in the forest while it is still a forest. It is another way for the Government to try and grab forest land because it has become the highest grabber of forest land. If not for the Government, we would not be fighting in Mau. It is because of the Government that we have problems of deforestation in this country. Because of the same Government, our forest cover is now at 1.7 per cent against the required 10 per cent forest cover for us to be, at ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Those people who die because of those conflicts are not better than the millions who die of thirst and hunger. Our rivers are drying up. For the first time in history, when I was in Narok County, Ewaso Nyiro River, Mara River, Siabei River and Sondu Miriu River have dried up. The water level of Sontu River has reduced. The electricity which was generated from Sondu Miriu has reduced. We should get petitions from this Government to alienate part of our holding grounds into forests and to go and conserve Boni Forest. We should get petitions from this Government to ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: It beats logic that those whom we have put in power - which is the Ministry of Environment and Forestry – who are supposed to conserve our environment and protect our water towers, are the same ones that have come with a Petition here. They say they want to grab part of our forest so that they can settle some people whom they purport have always been living in the forest. If Ogieks are experts in living in the forest, let the forest remain and then they live there. I still repeat my statement that our forests are for monkeys ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: human beings who only need 10 per cent of our land mass. That translates to 14 million acres. All the rest, which is 126 million acres of the land mass of Kenya, is for human settlement. Please mtosheke na hiyo . Wachaneni na misitu . view

• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: As I finish, we need to conserve our forest. The least we expect from the Ministry of Environment and Forestry is not to grab part of the forest, but to tell us how we can conserve it. I urge this House to stand in the right side of history because we will be judged in future, if we allow an inch of our forest to be grabbed. As a resident of Narok County, I have faced dramatic drought. I have seen people and animals dying. I have seen our tourism almost collapsing. I have seen children suffering from communicable diseases ... view
• 9 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those many remarks, I oppose this Motion. view
• 8 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Nominated, JP): Thank you very much, Hon. Chairman. Surely, training is very necessary, even if you represent a certain group. Some of the representations are not in any form a qualification. I may be representing PWDs in a certain board, but being disabled is not a qualification. You need some little knowledge in that particular field to be able to represent those you are representing well. Thank you, Hon. Chairman. view
• 3 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when it comes to issues of faith, I do not think we have the right to discuss such matters as a House, especially when it comes to donations. If your faith limits you from carrying your donation in paper bags or wallets, do not worry about those who carry in gunias . Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. view
