• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, to finalize, I want to inform this House that Turkana County has been marginalised for 50 years. The problems that we are solving now would have been solved 50 years ago. So, I want to inform my colleagues who think that Turkana County has been allocated a lot of funds that they are wrong. We can exchange counties. You can come to our county and we can go to yours so that you can suffer. view
• 23 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: You will suffer because of the problems that we are facing now. We never wished to be where we are now. So, I really urge my colleagues that although oil has been discovered there, it will not solve all the problems we are facing. So, when you see some funds being allocated to Turkana County, do not wish to be poor. Be satisfied with your condition. view
• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Report of the Mediation Committee. The nation is comprised of counties. We all belong to counties. We are seated here as Members of Parliament but at the end of the day we have to go back to our counties. The way we organise ourselves in the counties also determines our integrity in the National Assembly. view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the recommendations made by the Mediation Committee. I recommend that it should be permanent and be addressing pertinent issues that concern both the Senate and the National Assembly. I also recommend that instead of running for the national dialogue we should also use this Mediation Committee to handle issues that are pertinent to this nation. We should actually tell this Committee to handle issues that are supposed to be handled in the national dialogue. view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support this Report because it was not necessary to have the old committee and the constituency committee. We were only supposed to have a county oversight board. Kenyans are very keen. The Kenyans we have nowadays are not the Kenyans we had in 2007. Kenyans are now very wise and for us to convince our voters, the first thing they want to see from the leadership is unity. Are leaders united and are they working together? Are leaders actually addressing their issues together? So, this oversight is an emblem in a county that affirms that ... view

• 3 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I think it was just last week when the Cabinet Secretary, National Treasury, read the Budget. I want to tell hon. Members of Parliament who are here that this is my first time to be a Member of Parliament but I have an experience that every time we have these funds, they remain at the national level. As a Member of Parliament, I am not very keen to know how the national funds are actually used in the Ministry but I am very keen to know how money is being used in the county. So, it ... view
