• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: officers who need to be reshuffled every year. They need to go. That is a serious issue that we have found on the ground. We who come from border counties know what we are talking about. I come from Kuria; Kuria East Sub-County to be specific. Every time I am home, the youths who are supposed to be engaging in farming and doing other forms of employment are busy with all manner of crude weapons because they want to protect their borders and their animals. People say that members of the Kuria community sleep with their animals in their homes. ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I call upon the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government to list down the counties that are affected by cattle rustling. He needs to go to those counties, sit down with the leadership and see what the issues are. If it is police officers who have to be reshuffled, let them go because they are the people who probably lend their guns. We need to be very serious if we need to address the issue of voter registration. view

• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am very passionate about this issue. I am talking about the Government going round doing voter registration. Voter registration for who? If my people are not protected, how will they vote? How will they even take those voters cards and vote? We need to be very serious. view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Lastly, we have issues and the Hon. Member for Emurua Dikirr mentioned them. We have leaders fuelling tension. One of those leaders, I want to say in this House, is the Governor for Narok County. My county borders Narok and this Governor for Narok, Tunai is not preaching peace when it comes to cattle rustling. We have the Maasai who live on the other side. You know very well that Maasai think that all cattle belong to them. The Kuria on the other side also believe that all cattle belong to them. So, we are not meeting halfway. We are ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: I call upon Government, with all due respect, that the issue of cattle rustling should not be taken lightly. It is a serious issue. If you came from a county that has animals, you would understand what those of us who come from border counties are talking about. Many of you do not understand that I come from the Kuria community. That is the culture that has been there. I want to ask that cattle rustling be named a national disaster in this country. view

• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: The freedom we enjoy today is because some people sacrificed their time, comfort and families. They are Mzee Jomo Kenyatta, Jaramogi Oginga Odinga, Tom Mboya, Dedan Kimathi and Paul Ngei. The list is endless. These people belong to the second liberation of this country. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, even as I speak, I feel very bad when our President deliberately or not, refused to recognise people who fought alongside Jomo Kenyatta on Mashujaa Day in Machakos. There is no way you can mention the name of Jomo Kenyatta without mentioning Jaramogi Oginga Odinga. Those two go together. Even a Class ... view
• 29 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: I happened to live, study and work in the US. The US Government has put mechanisms in place that basically looks at the war veterans. These are people who have been fighting for the Americans; the peace that the land of the free is enjoying. The Government is very serious about welfare in terms of medic aid, medicare and food rations. These are people the US Government The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
