• 28 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Report of the Budget and Appropriations Committee. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this great opportunity to support the Presidential Address by Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta on the state of the nation. I was impressed by the statesman Address that our President gave to this House and the nation at large. The Presidential Address captured our national challenges, aspirations and also went further to specify tangible solutions that we need to implement in this great nation. The Speech was very holistic in the sense that it captured every corner of our great nation. My own great people of Marsabit County were delighted when the President mentioned places ... view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: In addition to increasing the sharable revenue from 15 per cent to 34 per cent, the national Government supplemented the development agenda of many counties through financial grants, particularly in areas such as health and water. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my county, Marsabit County, County No.10, is a glaring example of this transformation. Today, our old hospitals such as Moyale and Marsabit hospitals have been refurbished. They are now good hospitals which can serve the residents of those areas. In addition to that, we now have new fledged hospitals such as the Kalacha Referral Hospital in my constituency which is ... view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: I also thank the leadership of my county led by His Excellency, Governor Ukur Yatani, for the good job he is doing in that county. This is not only true in Marsabit County, but also in Modogashe in Garissa County, as well as many other areas. view
• 22 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: In terms of roads transformation, Wajir County today is proud of the first tarmac road ever in the county. It is the same thing in counties such as Marsabit, Isiolo and Samburu where we have an international class road plying our counties. This is as a result of the Isiolo-Marsabit- Moyale Highway which connects Cape Town and Cairo. The residents of Moyale in Marsabit County travel for only seven hours instead of the three days they used to travel on the back of trucks carrying cows and sheep, to Nairobi. Today, there are over 30 buses plying that road which ... view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, before I support this Bill, I want to know what the Chairman means by “regional balance”. We know where the livestock sector is predominant in this country. Is it specific to the livestock rearing counties, regions, anywhere or anybody in this country? I want the Chairman to be specific, so that I can support the amendment. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I want to support the Chair on this amendment. I think marketing promotion is very critical. I hope, for the first time, camels in this country will be marketed like in Ethiopia, Somalia and other parts of the world. view
• 5 Mar 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second. I want to compliment Hon. Abdinoor for this Bill. As a first time Member of Parliament, he has done a good job. I hope the Senate will pass this very soon. Wasilalie kama kawaida . view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the Livestock and Livestock Products Development and Marketing Bill. I rise to support the Bill and to compliment my colleague, Hon. Abdinoor Mohammed Ali, for bringing this very timely Bill to the House. The livestock sector in this country is poorly managed and governed. As a result, livestock farmers and pastoralists, some of whom some of us represent in this House, have been suffering for too long. We do not have a livestock policy in this country. Equally, there is hardly any livestock marketing strategy that is pursued by our ... view
• 15 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: examples. Ethiopia, which is just our neighbour, has a much better livestock marketing strategy for their livestock and livestock products. There is no reason why the same should not happen in Kenya. If the pastoralists and the livestock sector are enabled to thrive both by good policies, laws and a supportive and enabling environment, it can go a long way in generating much revenue towards the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. For sure, livestock is a largely devolved function now operated by our county governments. Most of our county governments are doing a good job in ensuring that ... view
