• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Dr. Otichilo’s Question was about sharing benefits with other communities. Article 69 of the Constitution is very clear; it provides that the State will ensure equitable sharing of the accrued benefits from natural resources with the local communities. Could the Assistant Minister inform the House what the Government is doing to operationalise or to bring to life that particular article of the Constitution to ensure that the local communities get benefits from the natural resources within their surroundings in terms of law or policy? view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, are my colleagues from northern Kenya in order not to appreciate that, for the first time, the Government is putting up a campus in North Horr Constituency, Marsabit County? Yes, we have been neglected but, for the first time, the Government is investing in a campus under the Kenya Technical Training College, which is going to start next month. We should be appreciative, at least! view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank you for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I am one of the Members of this House who are highly affected by this particular Report. This is a very important exercise.

• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think it is time for us to work the extra hours and, if need be, even work on the weekends to ensure that this Constitution is implemented. We have a duty to our constituents. This is a very timely Motion. There are a lot issues on the Order Paper. There are more than six critical Bills that need to be passed. In the interest of efficiency and for us to be able to implement this Constitution in a timely manner and to beat the necessary constitutional deadlines, I think it is important we support this ... view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: I beg to support. view
• 23 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I also do wish to request my chairman and my friend, Dr. Khalwale, to reconsider this because Parliament also will have a role. It will vote for the funds which will go to the county governments. So, as it is, it is as if the Senate will have an exclusive role in relation to county governments in terms of reporting; I think the National Assembly will have its own mandate as the National Assembly.
