• 29 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: appointments do not show balancing amongst their own political parties. I refer them to read 1st Samuel 16 Verse 1, which states: “When will my people realise that I have rejected Saul to be King of Israel?” When will our people know that we have rejected somebody to be king of Kenya? Even today, early in the morning, somebody was using the words tibim, tialala and even saying “His Excellency Raila Odinga.” We should be straightforward. In fact, the coastal people have resisted; they have moved out. The Maasai have also resisted and moved out. To come back to the ... view

• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. For sure, the Maa nation and the pastoralists are mourning. I have received calls from all pastoralists within and outside this country. I have even received calls from the Karamojong of Uganda, the Maasais of Tanzania and the pastoralists from Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. They are mourning with us because this is a great loss to the Maasai people. For us, a cow is not just a cow. We have a social attachment to cows. When you kill our cows, it is not only ignorant, but retrogressive, ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: ranch or a farm. When human beings in the name of security agencies shoot animals - who are very innocent - it is sad. I have heard police officers saying that they shot and the other party returned fire. I do not know if the cows actually returned fire, but as the Maa nation, we are mourning because of that. We ask that there be a lasting solution. If there is none, then there will be perennial conflict between the pastoralists, farmers and ranchers. This happened around three months ago and a number of livestock were killed. As the Maa ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Another lasting solution is through drought mitigation. We should find ways of mitigating drought. Without drought, conflict between the ranchers and the pastoralists will be limited. I request the Government to mitigate drought through livestock insurance. This is economic sabotage which is equivalent to the one that I have heard of people resisting and boycotting Safaricom products. I do not know how you can boycott Safaricom products because it sells airwaves. The Mpesa shops are owned by normal Kenyans. The sim cards are sold by normal Kenyans. Safaricom only sells airwaves. I do not know if the people are boycotting ... view

• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I am on the Floor. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think you mistook me because today I am in white and you are used to me when I am in green. So, probably, I am making my maiden speech while I am in white. view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: Let me make it very clear that I support this Motion. I also support the Supplementary Budget in totality because it touches on all spheres of our lives. Before I highlight the points that the Supplementary Budget touches on, may I ask you to clarify if we are allowed to read speeches while we are making our maiden speeches or rather contributing in this House. You know speeches can be written by experts outside and it is normally good you give us clarity. Again, I want to clarify the point of our colleague, the Hon. Member representing Kisumu West who ... view
• 12 Oct 2017 in National Assembly: want to continue doing so. We want to move forward. So, can they provide their leadership as soon as possible? I am also worried because Baba is not around. So, I do not know who will give them direction. Hon. Speaker, I am in support of this Motion. First, because of the money allocated to Lake Turkana Power Project. That is a very important project in this country because it will add to our national grid. Cash transfer to elderly persons who are allocated Kshs6.2 billion shillings is very important because we have become a civilized nation. At times you ... view
