• 21 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I oppose this Bill. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I strongly support this Motion by Hon. William Cheptumo on declaring cattle rustling a national disaster as well as establishing a fund for victims of cattle rustling. I represent North Horr Constituency in the northern part of Kenya where cattle rustling is still very common. For sure, as a nation, it is time for us to call cattle rustling a national disaster. As pastoralists, we have lost so many people to cattle rustling. Lives have been lost in thousands and livelihoods have been shattered. Today, we have many IDP families who have ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: warriors along the Arapal-Lelani border. Because of that, the number of incidences that we have had with our neighbours in Laisamis has gone down tremendously. In the past, we would have one or two incidents every month. Today, we may have one, two or three in the whole year. It is simply because most of those Morans have now been engaged as security officers and are working for the wind firm in Turkana. That can be one way to go. The reality of the matter is that cattle rustling has been commercialised. We have merchants of cattle rustling – people ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: financial income from cattle rustling, and from the desperation and suffering of our people. It is time the Government comes in strongly to deal with those merchants. For me, those are terrorists. They are people who are out to destroy people’s lives and livelihoods in order to make an income – an evil one in that case. The Government, through the law that we have passed in this House, is trying to now support Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) or home guards. If they are supported, vetted, given the necessary weapons, paid some allowances, brought under the command of the Officers ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, this is a very good Motion. I hope it will not gather dust in the shelves of our policy makers and the Executive arm of the Government. I hope it will be implemented. As a House, through our Committee on Implementation, we should see to it that once we pass this Motion, it is implemented. As pastoralist Members of Parliament in this National Assembly, we will take it upon ourselves to ensure that this Motion is implemented and the issue of cattle rustling is given the weight it deserves in our Republic. Thank you. view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My constituency is the largest. It is actually a country called “North Horr”, not a constituency. From the outset, I really want to support the Kenya Roads Bill, 2015. The principal object of this Bill is to give effect to the First Schedule of our Constitution in relation to the roads subsector in our country. The Bill proposes to review, consolidate and rationalise the legal institutional framework for the management of the road subsector in our country. In doing so, the Bill proposes to amend a number of relevant Road Acts prevailing ... view
• 22 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: buses could hardly ply the roads. Today, somebody can leave Moyale in the morning and easily have dinner in Nairobi without trouble. For this, it is important to appreciate our Government where they have done well. For sure, this has happened for the people of Marsabit County. They can get fresh fruits and vegetables from Meru to Marsabit within hours. The quality of life of our people has changed. We have more than 10 buses plying the route from Nairobi to Moyale, which is a major change to the lives of the people of Marsabit County. Having said that, we ... view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Speaker. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, at the outset, let me state that I respect the holy month of Ramadhan. I wish all my brothers and my constituents of North Horr well. view
• 15 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, while it is within the rights of the Leader of the Majority Party to demand prudent use of funds disbursed to the county governments, is it in order for him to only pick on ODM-led county governments, starting with Turkana and Nairobi County Governments and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
