• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to support this Sessional Paper because it is touching on a very important issue that concerns our people. Right now, insecurity and conflict are some of the major issues that are hampering development in this country. In many parts of this country, we are unable to deliver services and work for communities because of conflicts, including resource-based conflicts, where communities do not have adequate access to services like water. For example, in northern Kenya, people fight because of an important resource, water. Secondly, people fight because they do not have enough land to farm ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of residents of the Ewaso Nyiro North Catchment area in Wajir County, draw the attention of the House to the following: THAT, all rivers, lakes and other water bodies in the country fall under public land as contemplated under Article 62 (1) (i) of the Constitution. THAT, ownership in trust and management of water resources is a prerogative of the national Government through the National Land Commission and the Water Resources Management Authority as stipulated in Article 62 (3) of the Constitution and Section 8 of the Water Act, 2002. THAT, ... view
• 21 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: THAT, the Water Resources Management Authority has been issuing permits for the extraction and abstraction of water in the upstream of Ewaso Nyiro River without due consideration of the procedure outlined in Section 29 (4) of the Water Act, 2002. THAT, by so doing, the Authority has deliberately given priority to agricultural, Industrial and other non-domestic uses of water instead of giving precedence to domestic use as set out in Section 32(2) of the Act. THAT, in this regard the Authority has acted in abdication of its solemn duty of ensuring equitable use of water resources in the Ewaso Nyiro ... view

• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. As we close for recess, I wish all Kenyans a merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. As we close this year, I wish to condole with the people who lost their loved ones in Mandera 1, Mandera 2 and many other places in the country. Indeed, it was a very eventful year for us. We lost people to terrorists who, as a country, we must fight and fight to the bitter end! Some of these laws that are being brought to this House to fight terrorism might take us back to the old days. Remember, ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I wish to state that, as country, we have minorities, Muslims and a Somali population which might feel that some of these laws will directly target them. As a country, we will be judged by how we treat our minorities. As a country, we have done tremendously well over the years and we have achieved success. I can tell you that in marginalized areas like northern Kenya and many other areas that people who normally claim they are marginalized, there is a lot of development that will make you proud as a Kenyan. If you go there, you will feel ... view
