• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill. After Independence, most of the technocrats felt that agriculture was the only worth investment in Kenya. That is why the White Highlands were getting funding and the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs) areas which comprised 80 per cent of the country were marginalized. The mindset was that the return on investment was greater in the White Highlands and any investments in the ASAL areas were a waste of funds. Unfortunately, they did not realize then that Kenya would not achieve a double digit growth unless we had ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: object is to discuss the mechanisms of disbursing the Fund. I feel that the removal of the Equalization Fund from the national Government to the constituency level where marginalized areas exist will help capture the object of the Equalization Fund. The proposed amendments are good and are in consonance with the spirit of devolution of resources to the smallest unit. My only concern is on various proposals raised on establishment of other structures to manage this Fund. I believe CDF is just like the famed M-pesa which is attributed to Kenya, and the growth of Equity Bank. CDF is the ... view
• 25 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I am privileged to represent one of the nominees in Parliament, hon. (Dr.) Abdullahi Ali. So many good things have been said about Dr. Abdullahi, especially by his contemporaries and seniors like hon. Agwenyi and others. If I may delve on the person of Dr. Abdullahi, he is a pioneer Member of Parliament for Wajir North who served for two consecutive terms. He was my worthy opponent in the last general elections. He is such a person who can still inculcate wisdom in me despite being his opponent who ... view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want to take this House back a bit. On 1st June, 2013, I requested for a Statement with regard to the appointment of two Commissioners to the Teachers Service Commission (TSC). It has been a tough process. What is before this House today is the culmination of the entire process. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: The baby has been delivered and I would like to thank the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology lead by our able lady, hon. Sabina and the entire House. I am overwhelmed because both the CORD and the Jubilee side are in support of this Report. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Today is a turning point to me for two reasons. First, this is the first time that a person from Wajir North Constituency has got an opportunity to be appointed to serve in a national office. Being a minority, I would like to absolve the Jubilee Government that they do not always use the tyranny of numbers. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I, being a CORD Member, and Wajir North Constituency having supported an ODM Member of Parliament, they took a firm position to, at least, nominate Saadia Abdi Kontoma who is from a minority community. As much as I respect my party and my CORD side, I would like to say that the Jubilee side is rational at times. They looked at the face of this country and, indeed, I should say that I am grateful. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, the female gender has come a long way. Gender mainstreaming has taken a very hard course and I feel that by two women Commissioners being on the verge of being appointed is itself worth cerebration. We feel that we have come from gender mainstreaming and I am overwhelmed. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I am very much elated and I am grateful to every Member of this House, whether from CORD or from the Jubilee side for supporting this Motion. To me, this is the first delivery being a new Member of Parliament. The appointment of Ms. Saadia Abdi Kontoma who comes from Wajir North Constituency as a Commissioner of the TSC is something I should be grateful to this House, the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. view
• 24 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank you and I support this Motion. view
