• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Those who are in charge of security, even us, as Members of Parliament, we have fears. If you go to a church or mosque, you are killed; if you board a bus, you are killed and if you go to a street or a hotel, you are killed, where can we go as Members of Parliament where there is security? Tell us. If it is only in this Parliament, it can be bombed any time. Can we be assured of security in this Parliament? Otherwise, if we will not be assured of this security, we will not come to this ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The issue of insecurity is becoming critical in this nation. People have lost lives in every corner of this nation; for example in Garissa, Mombasa, Turkana and Kisumu. The reason why we have a Government in place is to ensure lives and properties of Kenyans are protected. When a civilian holds the security of the nation to ransom, then the security of that nation is at stake; it beats logic and everybody is aware of this. If we lose one security officer who apparently ... view

• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to thank you for this opportunity. I am the happiest person today for this opportunity. There are many minerals in Turkana County. This Bill has come at the right time. I thank this House for bringing here this Bill at this particular time. One thing that is so unique in Kenya is that most of the land, especially in pastoral areas, is communally owned. We have also realized that many minerals are found in pastoral areas. Therefore, it is difficult to separate minerals from pastoralism. When minerals are found in a place, you are not supposed ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: development in the areas. I want to make it clear that when others were busy building schools, hospitals and roads, in areas like Turkana, the people were not given that opportunity. They were busy herding livestock and relying on relief food all the time. When others were given schools, pastoralists were given relief food. It is high time we stopped provision of relief food. We deserve to enjoy the same rights as other Kenyans. God has given us minerals and we must enjoy their benefits to the maximum, so as to be at par with the rest of the communities ... view
