• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.48(1) to seek for a Statement from the Standing Committee on Security, Defence and Foreign Relations on the escalating insecurity in Isiolo County. Several towns along the Isiolo-Garissa border have been brought to a standstill as a result of frequent attacks that have led to loss of lives and several families have been forced to run away from their homes. Last week, we lost several lives and many people were injured. Mr. Speaker, Sir, several meetings were held between the communities and Government officials to resolve the border dispute ... view

The officers are currently stationed 100 meters from the chief’s camp, which is affecting the daily operations of the community. In the Statement, the Chairperson should- (1) Explain the actions the Government is taking to urgently resolve the inter- boundary dispute between ourselves and our border counties. (2) Explain the measures the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is taking to ensure deployment of more security officers along the affected borders. (3) Explain the plans the Government is making to resettle the families that have been forced out of their homes ... view
• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: On a point of order. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, with all due respect to Members, we have a standard practice in this House and the procedures must be followed. If our brother from Taita-Taveta County is not satisfied with the answers given, there are laid down procedures in our Standing Orders. He can also approach the Committee and tell the Members that he is not satisfied with the answers and ask them to follow up on his behalf. It is wrong to prosecute the same Petition again on the Floor of the House. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I wish to appreciate your directive. I know I am one of those notorious Members who normally brings last minute statements to your office or maybe even in the Chamber for you to approve. This is simply because of the emergencies that we sometimes get in our counties especially on matters touching on security. It is normally very important that we give it the urgent attention it requires. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: I remember in the last Senate, we used to rely so much on the Order Paper. In instances where we did not have some matters on the Order Paper, statements used to rescue the situation; which has worked so well. I also appreciate the amendment to the Standing Orders. My concern is on the current procedures that are used by the chairpersons of committees in responding to statements. These statements also give a bit of profile to the relevant Senators especially when they address matters concerning their counties. When these matters take too long for the chairs to respond to, ... view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as you have said, you have a discretion to look at a statement and determine whether it is urgent or not so that you can give direction on it. It is a learning process where we can adjust here and there so that it can help both the Members who are bringing the statements, the people we represent and also for the benefit of the Secretariat, so that they can do their work smoothly. view
• 11 Jun 2019 in Senate: I support your directive. view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I thank The Senate Majority Leader, the Senator for Elgeyo-Marakwet County for seeking that Statement. view
• 23 May 2019 in Senate: We had a long history before issuing NPR firearms for the people living within pastoral communities. That history still exists. For us who come from pastoral areas, especially where cattle rustling is happening, NPRs have been a solution to our problems. Secondly, the security structure on the ground was unable to handle insecurity and cattle rustling. Clearly, that position still stands. Mr. Speaker, Sir, even after NPR was put in place, the current Governor for West Pokot County came up with very good legislation to govern the issues of NPR and this House was involved. We gave out input in ... view
