• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon Speaker, in September, 2018, there was a fight between the members of Boran and Gabra communities at Horondeer in Qilta Location of Marsabit Central Sub-County, where three persons were killed. During the attack, for the first time, organised militias were used and armed with heavy machine guns that were able to overpower the police forces. This conflict has been running for almost two years and is escalating, and even more disturbing because these attacks and livestock rustling are taking place in Saku, Sololo in Moyale and Isiolo counties. These attacks with massed militias in their hundreds are becoming more ... view
• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Hon Speaker, the level of violence being experienced in the areas of Saku, targeting a particular community to extinction, is unprecedented and the main motivation appears to be land and politics. Furthermore, the audacity, brutality and precision with which these vicious attacks are being carried out seems to indicate that these militias are a well-oiled machine that could be acting with support from within the Government. In February, 2019, the Kenya Police Reservists in Marsabit and Isiolo counties had their arms withdrawn, yet no adequate security was put in place to address the gap left to date. This has left ... view

• 8 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I raised my Petition in June 2020. I know there was the issue of COVID-19 and many other underlying issues. In the opening Statement, I said, even today, people have been killed in my constituency. As we are sitting in this gallery, people are fighting in the outskirts of Marsabit Town.

• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will start by supporting the Bill. When the Mover, my friend, Hon. Wamunyinyi, was moving the Bill, he did it with a lot of passion and a lot of accuracy in terms of what is needed to revive the sugar industry, make it productive and viable for the farmer. There was an attempt to almost make this a western or a sugar growing belt affair. However, sitting here as a Kenyan from northern Kenya… view
• 1 Jul 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. In almost a circumference of 30 metres, I am the only person, but thank you, Hon. Member. There is an attempt to almost make it feel that this is a western Kenya affair or a sugar growing belt affair, but I am speaking as a Kenyan who consumes sugar. People in northern Kenya consume more sugar than people in western Kenya. We take it with tea and with many other beverages that we use. We also take more tea than any other region in this country. That is why we feel that protecting and ... view
