• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: The issue of pastoral community land is persistent. Pastoralists have been displaced and land has been allocated to other individuals or even for conservancy purposes. Since they are still pastoralists, they are still practising their way of life and the land has been taken, it become a point of conflict and they are always accused of encroaching, while actually, it is their land that has been taken, while they are still around and are still practising pastoralism. This could easily be attributed to the colonialist mentality, what they called the la view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: which is that they come here thinking that land belongs to nobody. Those of us living on those parcels of lands did not have any rights and the White men who came first determine the owners. That is how they allocated themselves large tracts of land and pastoralists are being displaced. The Petition is clear on the effort the community has done in addressing this issue as the Senator has enumerated, what they have done in approaching the national Government leaders in the previous Governments, talking to Laikipia County Council, visiting the then Vice President, Hon. Moody Awori. The most ... view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: should establish if that community placed their historical land injustices claim with NLC by 21st September, 2021. Those people should be compensated. In Laikipia, we are told that the herders are encroaching private land, yet it is a case of people practicing their way of life on their land. Their land was grabbed, leaving them with no space hence the conflict. When you fly through that part, from Nanyuki towards Maralal, you will see large tracts of land with no settlement. If you ask someone about them, you will be told that those are the ranches. They are good grazing ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I would like to support Sen. Dullo for bringing this Statement. I also thank her because this is a situation many Kenyans are going through. That is what has come out clearly from the contributions by the Senators. Coming from a county which borders Ethiopia, all including those that are not border communities, sometimes fail to understand why regulations or policies are not applied with a human mind. For example, a sub county like Laisamis in Marsabit which is inhabited mainly by the Rendille who are not a border community and are not found in any other ... view

• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: I know of a case where in one of my sub-counties, the whole registration process was stopped on the pretext that some non-Kenyans were being registered. You ask yourself why the officers cannot do their work diligently and make sure that those who are being registered are Kenyans, instead of stopping a process and making Kenyans suffer. There was no registration for two years because of that kind of an allegation. Officers should take their work seriously. The other problem with the registration is the funding aspect. Registration officers especially in the counties and sub counties get very little funding. ... view

• 12 Oct 2021 in Senate: I support the Statement and urge the Committee concerned to make sure we look elaborately into the systems of issuance of IDs in this country because as it has been said, we require them for every service. Getting IDs has not been streamlined and Kenyans are not experiencing the same level of service in terms of getting IDs. There is need to make sure the document is easily and freely accessible to Kenyans at all levels. view
• 6 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Sen. (Dr.) Ali for coming up with these amendments to the Health Act. First of all, health is a devolved function. We know very well we have a system of governance where we have two levels. The Constitution in Article 6 (2) clearly states that the Government at the national and counties are distinct and interdependent and shall conduct their mutual relations on the basis of consultation and cooperation. I believe this is a case of cooperation in terms of delivery of health services to Kenyans in all parts of ... view
