• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Justice and Legal Affairs Committee on the appointment of the two nominees. On the outset, I want to say that Kipng‘etich arap Korir comes from my constituency. I know him by name. He is one of my constituents in the far- flung location of Tuloimngoi. Last Thursday, the President announced that the Committee had already approved the nominees, and that those names were not on the list. When it comes to Madam Guchu, she has sufficient experience and is a lady. I wonder why my colleagues are ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: species in leadership. When one of us is nominated for appointment to such an office, we should support her by all means. I want to echo her nomination. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the name of any of us here could be on the list that was presented here by the President last week, because what are contained therein are mere allegations. If any of your constituents today alleges that you have stolen CDF money, you can find your name getting into such list. The names that were found on the list that was annexed to the President‘s Speech to this House ... view

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I wish to seek leave to move a Motion to adjourn the House for the purpose of discussing the deteriorating security situation in Baringo South Constituency, Baringo County. Provision of security to each and every citizen is a key requirement for continued stability and sustainable economic prosperity of the nation. Indeed, Article 238(1) of the Constitution provides that national security entails the protection against internal and external threats to Kenya’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, its people, their rights, freedoms, property, peace, stability, prosperity and other national interests. Since 2005, Mukutani Ward in Baringo ... view

• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At last my card has caught your eye. I have waited for long and I want to take this opportunity to thank the Government for waiving registration fees in both primary and secondary schools. However, my worry is that there is no gain in registering a student who has a lot of fees balance. Last holiday before we came back from recess, a poor mother came to my house with her children. One of the children, the first born had cleared secondary education in 2005 at Moi High School Kabarak but has not gotten ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: he owes the school over Kshs105,000. The second born had a fees balance of Kshs45,000 in another secondary school and she was narrating her ordeal and I could not help even though I have the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). This is because this parent had fees balances totalling about Kshs.500,000 in various secondary schools. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my question is: The Executive had waived arrears and said that all pupils whose certificates were held in various schools were supposed to pick them sometime last year. Does it mean that the orders of our Executive are not being obeyed in ... view
• 12 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Even if their children clear school, poverty still exists. So, the only thing that is going to make us equal is education. If those people are denied education because of school fees, then we are not going anywhere. I want to ask the Ministry of Education to re-check what my colleagues have said - that we can waive those fees. They can assist those children from poor background to attend classes.We should not have schools for the rich and the poor. We can re-check the background of those students and look at where they come from and do a waiver ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No. 84(1), I wish to give a Personal Statement. I am on record as one of the Members who have publicly taken a strong stand concerning acts of cattle rustling in Baringo County. Consequently, my political opponents and the perpetrators of cattle rustling have conspired and are now issuing threats not only to endanger my life, but I have also received information that the culprits are threatening to torch my rural home. I wish to request your Office to provide me with additional security to enable me discharge my duties effectively. Thank you, hon. ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I also rise to say that as we go for recess, I thank my people of Baringo South for standing with me during the most difficult time after their livestock was stolen because of cattle rustling. We are expressing the support and we want to give our electorate the best law that can protect them and their properties. I want to assure Kenyans that we are here because of them. As we are here, we are ready to protect them with their property. That is why we were fighting to see that we pass this ... view
