• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support the President’s Address. I think he gave us leadership on what we need to do, and on the Constitution. The priorities that we have as Parliament are the bills that we have to enact. I think we have been well guided by the President. I also appreciate that our economy is growing by almost 6 per cent. This is very encouraging. We have come back to where we were in January 2008, and we have been able to move on as a nation. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to go on record and say that the shuttle diplomacy that was done by the Vice-President was in the best interests of this nation. For sure, the ICC issue has polarized this nation, and the Vice-President wanted to ensure that Kenyans are not taken to the Hague unnecessarily. Time was not on his side but I think he did it for a very good cause. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the ICC for sure is a political process. We thought that it was a judicial process, which will ensure fairness but it is an imperial ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have already passed a Motion in this House and we have even asked the Government to consider withdrawing from the Rome Statute. I am happy that, as a House, we are giving the President the leeway to ensure that he does all it takes to ensure that the sovereignty of our nation is well safeguarded. I think leaving Kenyans at the mercy of the ICC process is a betrayal of our founding fathers, independence heroes and all those Kenyans who shed blood for this sovereign nation called Kenya. We cannot afford to be told how ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to go on record that, yes, I voted for The Hague option at one point, but only a fool does not change his mind. Once you get good information, and you are well informed, you will consider another option and there is nothing wrong with that. We have the right to change our minds, when it is necessary, or when we get the appropriate information. view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: I want to thank the President for the efforts that he has made to manage the drought in this country. Most of our constituencies, including North Horr and others, have been devastated by drought. The government has taken action to ensure that Kenyans who are so vulnerable are supported. In the north eastern part of Kenya, there is water harvesting going on. Having said that, I know for sure this is a major crisis and additional support is required. I really call upon the Government to even do more to save the lives and the livelihood of those Kenyans. Drought ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to thank the President particularly for constructing the Isiolo-Moyale Road. The Great North Road is linking Kenya and Ethiopia is very much under way. Only 136 kilometres or so have been finished and as I speak here the contractor is on site in Marsabit to start the other section from Marsabit to Turbi. Over 96 per cent of that road passes through my constituency. For the first time, people of North Horr will see what is called a “tarmack road”. I want to thank the President for that. A lot of money has been ... view
• 24 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the President’s Speech. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Medical Services:- (a) whether he could table a list of all persons employed by the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF) in the past three years, indicating their respective constituencies and districts of origin; (b) the criteria used in employing staff at NHIF; and, (c) the measures he has put in place to ensure equity in employment at NHIF. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question has a bearing on equity. I have looked at the list that has been laid on the Table. For the last three years, no single person has been hired from North Horr. I want to know why the NHIF has not employed any person from North Horr and yet, they have been applying in great numbers every year, for the last three years. Why has the NHIF not given employment opportunities to the people of North Horr? view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is implying that people from North Horr who have been applying are not qualified for those positions. I know, as a matter of fact, that many of them are from the medical field and some are clinical officers. They have been applying but they have not been given that opportunity. view
