11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly:
Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion very strongly, but I also strongly believe that once we have the employment database, let us see how we can make good use of it by linking it to all the relevant ministries, embassies and also other countries where we can easily tap into their market. I strongly support this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I commend Hon. Lentoimaga for this very timely and relevant Petition. The social assistance programmes are very useful. They target the poor of the poor and the most vulnerable in our societies. However, the mechanism of delivery of this service is a serious challenge. One needs a bank to access this service. In my constituency, North Horr, we do not have a single bank. People of Ileret Town have to travel 600 kilometres for a whole week in order to get Kshs2,000 or Kshs3,000.

This is a good intervention by Hon. Lentoimaga. The new Cabinet Secretary for Labour and Social Protection who happens to have be the former governor of Marsabit County saw this challenge first hand. When he started this programme at the county level, he tried to overcome these challenges. I hope by working with the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare he will get to the bottom of this problem.

Marginal counties and remote constituencies like mine have a great interest in this issue because this money is not reaching the poor of the poor simply because of the delivery mechanism that is being used by our Government.

Hon. Speaker, I thank you for this opportunity. I support the Special Motion on approval of nominees for appointment as Cabinet Secretaries in our Government.

Hon. Speaker, he served as the founding Governor of Marsabit County. In all these positions, he served this country diligently and with honor. As the pioneer Governor of Marsabit County, he laid a solid foundation for the sake of our county. The development infrastructure that he initiated is the envy for many of our neighboring counties.

He tarmacked roads in Marsabit County and started a modern abattoir, the best in the region which is ...
