Halima Ware Duri

Halima first vied for the Galole parliamentary seat in 1983 while still a teenager and came second. As a young Oromo (Borana) girl, that was unheard of. Before she resigned to join politics, she worked in the provincial administration as a District Officer. Her experience in the provincial administration made her a competent peace campaigner and negotiator. She would like to help her constituents gain access to water, bursaries and scholarships for learners and improved healthcare.

  • 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I requested a Statement from the Committee on Labour and Social Welfare in July and I am yet to get any response. I do not know what I should do next. view
  • 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I am really shocked by the response from the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare. I submitted a copy of that request and I am surprised that he did not receive it. I will go to Room 8 and get a copy of the request for that Statement. view
  • 23 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. As the Member for Balambala has put it, water scarcity also affects Tana River County. At one point in time, Tana River County suffers from floods, during which people lose domestic animals and lives. At another point in time, people suffer from drought. Therefore, I support this Motion. Construction of deeper boreholes will assist both livestock and the people living in Tana River County as well as in other parts of the country where people are always affected by drought. Another thing that the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources should discourage is ... view

  • 17 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker and the Members of Parliament who are in the House. I thank God, I have recovered from the accident. I am with you now. I thank all those who visited me when I was in hospital. I say thank you very much. God bless you, too! Hon.

  • 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Asante sana Bw. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Kwa majina mimi ni Halima Ware Duri kutoka Tana River. Mimi ningependa kuchangia Hoja hii. Watu wa KWS ni watu ambao wanalinda wanyama kuliko watu. Nikisema hivyo, kuna mnyama anaitwa nyati. Mnyama huyu anaishi katika Tana River. Hawajaweka ua na hawajazuia wanyama kuingiliana na wananchi ama kuingiliana na mifugo wa nyumbani. Wanyama hawa wanaendelea kuua watu na mifugo. Katika eneo za Wenje, Mnazini, Haroresa na Hara watu wengi wameumizwa na huyu mnyama na hatujaona watu wa KWS wakichukua hatua. Lakini wakati ambapo wanataka kuleta mswada wa pembe za ndovu wanataka tuwasaidie kwa haraka ... view
  • 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to support this Motion because the poorest person in Kenya today is a livestock farmer or a pastoralist. This is somebody who has 500 head of cattle in January and loses all of them in July because of the drought. Drought is not caused by the Government or the farmer. Pastoralists also lose their animals through floods, clashes and so on. I support the Motion. There is nowhere where a pastoralist can get support apart from the government setting up insurance for these people so that they feel that they belong to this country. These people also ... view
