• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with all due respect, I have been listening to the debate and Sen. Mositet is simply debating with a moran mentality, which is also allowed. That is the community that he comes from. I have not personally taken any offence. I vied for the Senate seat and I am not here by default. I think he is just trying to drive a point home from a moran’s mentality. view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to give my contributions on this very weighty matter. Kenyans are being killed. I want all of us to make reference to Article 26 of this Constitution and remember that the Constitution is supreme. It states that every person has the right to life. I, therefore, take issue with the execution of human beings, whether they are Turkanas, Pokots or any other human beings, within our borders. Kenyans are being killed.

Having said so, I also do not believe that one wrong can correct another wrong. Yes, the Pokots killed 21 law enforcement officers, but the law enforcement officers are now killing hundreds of Pokots. Is this just? view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, it looks like the Senator is not even listening carefully to my contribution. I stated that one wrong cannot be corrected by another wrong. Twenty one law enforcement officers were killed by Pokots, but it looks like the same law enforcement officers are now killing hundreds of Pokots. This really is not justice.

This article directs us to Article 58 ... view
• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I was just concluding by stating that, on one hand, I do not support the killing of the 21 officers. On the other hand, I do not support the manner in which we are trying to correct what already happened. I believe that we can refer to the Constitution. We can make arrests and respect what is provided for in the Constitution under the Bill of Rights.
