• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Adjournment Motion. For the last 20 years, this country has experienced nothing but Anglo Leasing, Goldenberg and now it is experiencing unnatural roads. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not mention that. The Minister is my friend and he is the most experienced person in this country and we respect him. view

• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the document is supposed to tell us how long it will take the concessionnaire to recoup his funds and how much Kenyans will pay for the next 30 years. What will happen is that we will exploit the people of Kenya to the extent that they will not be able to drive their cars on the road because the concessionnaire will put, with a few clique of people in power, any rate that he or she wants and make Kenyans pay through their noses. view
• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the request by Ms. Odhiambo is to enable Kenyans to give us their views. We are not the only stakeholders. There are many stakeholders all over the country and they are the ones who will calculate the figures and tell us how it will go. So, when we come here to debate, we will know how much--- We view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to debate on this Sessional Paper.

Due to the drought, all the cattle have been moved from Narok, part of Kajiado and even part of northern Tanzania, to my constituency.

Is the Government going to set up a permanent commission to address this matter? These communities are at the ... view
• 10 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this very important Motion. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of Mau is a crisis in this country. Many people are trivializing the matter. They are looking at it as if it is a normal issue or problem. But we are sitting on a disaster. It is a disaster because there are communities that will be extinct in Kenya in the next 50 years. They will either move out of Kenya or invade others in their places. So, we have a choice here of either protecting or ... view
