• 15 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Speaking as someone from the pastoral community, two weeks is a long time because the conflict will be exacerbated by the fact that there is no response. There will be retaliations and other issues.

• 15 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Bill. One of the issues that this Bill will address is food security which speaks to my heart. I come from Wajir County which has 10 per cent of the total land of this country, yet, year in, year out, we go into a food crisis mode because of food insecurity which leads to death of people.

Jillo Waqo, we need to go back to our counties because there are pertinent issues that need to be discussed. One of the issues that need our attention is that during drought, there is lack of water.

• 14 Sep 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This being my maiden speech, I wish to congratulate you for such an emphatic win to be the Speaker of this honourable House.

This is a very important process because just like everybody else has said, we have an important role in this country to ensure that counties deliver and are also accountable to their people. I support this Motion but I also have a ... view
