• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Finally, I have been able to catch your eye. I would like to thank the Member for Elgeyo Marakwet who brought this Motion. Historically, Molo Constituency has been known for tribal violence. One of the key indicators that tribal violence is just about to break has been cattle rustling. There are also instances where cattle rustling has been commercialised. Unscrupulous business people feign tribal differences only for them to trade in cattle by taking advantage of the situation. view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to send condolences to the families of the people of Elgeyo Marakwet who have been killed. I urge the leaders, some of whom are in this House, to bring the communities together basically because this has been a difficult moment where fingers are being pointed towards certain ethnic communities by others. It is important that all ethnic communities living around there are able to work together towards ending this menace. view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, other than cattle rustling, we have had other insecurity instances in my constituency. I take this opportunity to thank the police especially in Molo and Turi for being able to take charge of instances involving land which could have flared up.

I would like to begin by explaining the woes of many Kenyans. We are aware that whenever Kenyans hear about a fee to be paid for any document in a Government office, most of them do not get there.

• 19 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Most of the times this is shrouded in mystery when a Kenyan is told that it is issued by a police doctor and to most Kenyans’ imagination a police doctor is biased. The moment one says a police doctor is going to issue this, most Kenyans think it is not going to reflect the way it is supposed to be. Therefore, I support this Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 31 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Bill. It is important to have order in the electoral process. It is high time we adopted the systems of democracy that have come of age. It is important also, as a matter a principle, that whoever loses in any nomination supports the candidate who wins. I do not know why we always hop to other parties. I support the Bill. view

• 23 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: I would like to congratulate the team that went to Rio. I would like to request responsible bodies to look into what happened and why items like uniforms got lost. I would like to urge the Government to take athletics seriously because it is the only field we have to show. In terms of tourism, lions are found everywhere, but we have proved that we are a powerhouse in athletics. What happened in Rio should never happen again. view
