• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to support this Motion. As we speak, half of our country is affected by floods that have been occasioned by torrential rains which, in the case of Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL) region of this country, have come after three years of very severe drought. Harvesting that water will not only help us to protect infrastructure, it will also help us to prepare ourselves for the next drought. As we speak, in my own constituency, Isiolo North, which hosts the future resort city, half of the population of Isiolo ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Because that Authority is not in place, that is partly the reason we find ourselves in a situation where there is a lot of water causing a lot of destruction. Our roads are destroyed, and most parts of this country are no longer passable. In my own constituency, we had to do air dropping of food in places where huge populations have been cut-off. We keep losing lives as well. I would like to also take this opportunity to condole with two families in Oldonyiro who lost their loved ones yesterday as a result of those rains. Therefore, as I ... view
• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also support the annulment of the regulations. It is important that authorities which are given privilege to consider delegated legislation adhere to provisions of our Constitution. Public participation is mandatory. We know that these regulations are enforceable. It is important to give people who will be affected by the regulations adequate opportunity to contribute towards their formulation. Adverts which are put in newspapers to call for memoranda should not be treated as an adequate form of soliciting inputs from the public for formulation of regulations. It is important for us to note that ... view

• 25 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak to this Bill. I support this Bill. As the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security has stated, this is a very important Bill. As a country, we have a very long coastline along the Indian Ocean. We also have other inland lakes like Lake Turkana which my colleague Hon. Marselino has mentioned. These water bodies are not policed. This is posing security threats to our nation. Most developed countries have multi-agency coast guards. We ought to have had this force. The establishment of ... view

• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I must say that this Bill is very timely. As a country, from the time we had oil discovered in Turkana County, we should be now utilizing the products from those wells. Unfortunately, the lack of laws to regulate issues surrounding utilization of petroleum which has been discovered, has led to delay. This is a very comprehensive Bill which stipulates that it mainly deals with upstream petroleum. Petroleum has three sectors, the upstream, the midstream and the downstream. This particular ... view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: is properly, we may have issues when it comes to sharing the revenue. Clause 84 clearly defines how the national share from petroleum income is going to be shared in terms of what goes to the national Government, county government and to the local community. Local community is defined as a sub-county, which is very fair. If you define it on the basis of those who live around the wells, it becomes a challenge because where I come from, the land is collectively owned. What is owned collectively by the communities are ecosystems which, at times, are larger than sub-counties. ... view
• 12 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: I can see my time is up. With those few remarks, I support the Bill. view
• 11 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill. I would like to start by saying that I support the Bill. It is a Bill which helps us as a country to consolidate the various pieces of legislation that have been regulating the energy sector. These are the Energy Act of 2006 and the Geothermal Research Act of 1982. Energy sector has undergone a lot of transformation. If we look at the evolution of this particular sector, you will realise that the Energy Act of 2006 is the first piece of legislation which ... view
