• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: When development is done, definitely we expect displacement and destabilization of people’s livelihood. However, what is paramount is the responsibilities and duties of the institution that causes that displacement. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, this country has enacted a law on prevention, protection and assistance to internally displaced persons and affected communities. This law gives specific responsibilities to institutions, particularly when development is being done to compensate people who are affected economically, socially and culturally. It is evident from this Motion that TARDA and KenGen have not taken their responsibilities as required by law. When institutions fail to adhere to the law, it is paramount that Kenyans take them to court and seek compensation for failures and losses incurred by the people around the area. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that the inclusion of Development-induced Displacement Bill was to discipline institutions like TARDA and KenGen which cause frequent displacement. Such institutions only care about the profit that they make but they do not care about the losses the people who live around that area incur. That law was intended to be a deterrent to institutions that fail to adhere to the requirements. This is because they are also required to prepare families or communities which are likely to be affected by floods or displacement as a result of the development that they are ... view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I support the Motion and request the House to give a serious warning to TARDA and KenGen. The House should urge that the people who live along Tana River are compensated urgently for the social and cultural losses that they have incurred. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I think we need to be firm on institutions which do not adhere to the Constitution and other legislations that they should adhere to. Those institutions should take individual responsibility. We should strictly urge the Managing Directors of both institutions to take individual responsibility for causing this kind of suffering to Kenyans. Kenyans are already poor, and I know that Tana River communities are among the poorest communities in Kenya. view
• 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is basic knowledge that this kind of artificial flooding or forced displacement is something that can be prevented. However, it is the failure of view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute. I was really getting discouraged before you called out my name. I want to support this Motion which is timely. This Motion is also very important to us. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: This Act was enacted in 1960 and it was amended in 2007 and 2009. This country emphasized practical aspect of life and that is why it came up with the Industrial Training Levy Fund to support the training of the youth. I would like to say that this Fund has not achieved much although we have isolated cases of success. By and large, this Fund has not achieved its intended purpose. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: If you look at how much money this fund has generated from 1960 and the number of youth who have benefited from it, it might not tally. I concur with the Mover of this Motion that we need to relook at this Fund. We need to find out why it has not achieved its intended purpose. This is because my conscious is very clear that is has not achieved its intended purpose. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, illiteracy level in Wajir County which I represent stands at about 80 per cent and such a Fund would have been very useful in that area. I know for sure that the Fund has not reached there and the unemployed youth have not benefited. Areas that are inaccessible like Wajir, Mandera, Garissa, Turkana and Samburu have not benefited from this Fund. view
