• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, I want to thank Mr. Ogindo, he is my friend, we went to the same school. But more importantly the Question is for the country. The discovery of oil in Turkana County is just a case study. We expect that when the Minister comes, he will have a petroleum master plan for the country. So, it should include Nyanza and many other places like the Coast. I come from Turkana; speaking for Kenya. That is Mr. Ethuro. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was to support him, but I noticed that the only surviving Minister; the Minister for Finance, has just walked out. view

• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. First, I want to thank the Minister with a heavy heart for attempting to come to this House and explain certain things. However, you realize he was trying to edit his own report and this is the problem when we do not view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had actually petitioned you that I needed to put the same request that the Departmental Committee moves with speed and makes sure that the issues in Garissa and the issue of deployment of Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) in Baragoi, Turkana, are addressed. In fact, the Member for Turkana Central should not be in court. This should be appreciated by this House. When we called a Press conference last Thursday, we were concerned that the KDF had been deployed to Turkana County even when the incident that they were referring to was in Samburu County, about ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: That is correct! Yes! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the charge sheet is very short and I will be brief. It reads: - “Incitement to violence contrary to Section 96A of the Penal Code. 1. Josephat Koli Nanok 2. David Ekwe Ethuro On the 15th day of November, 2012, in Nairobi, within Nairobi County (not in Parliament so that they can evade the Privileges Act) jointly with others not before court, without lawful excuse uttered words namely “if you do not want to disarm the Pokot and Samburu, it is only the Turkanas you want to disarm.” Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to support the further amendment to include the other two Committees; the Committee on Equal Opportunity and the Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs, and also to make this case. The media should not entertain and persecute us. This fight is not about one community against another. Our struggle as hon. Members of Parliament is to ensure that each community is protected by the State. Just because I happen to be a Somali-looking person, then you think that Al-Qaeda must be finding residence in Eastleigh and you can go to Eastleigh because you ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I meant, with utmost respect to the hon. Lesrima, that he is not the agent or the perpetrator of cattle rustling. But cattle rustling, especially what we are taking about in Baragoi is happening in his constituency. That is what I meant. view

• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: This one I can confirm. I wanted to confirm further the hon.

Samuel Phoghisio, Minister for Information and Communications, cannot even communicate because of cattle rustling where he comes from; hon. Assistant Minister for Forestry and Wildlife, Mr. Nanok, cannot have peace. He was just released today from the court because of cattle rustling. Is it in order for the hon. Minister to mislead this House by saying just because Ministers come from certain counties, they cannot engage ... view
