I have seen a KPR who has lived in the bush for a whole month. You know those cattle raids happen at odd hours – almost 3.00 a.m. at night. When will a policeman wake up at that time? The KPRs are already there. If a raid happens at that particular time, they will always respond even without vehicles. The only thing that we are doing is to ease the process by supporting them and ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the reduction of the period. You understand very well that when this Motion will be approved, men will suffer the liability.

• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion. I come from an area that is arid. Turkana County has 77,000 square kilometres.

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to oppose this Motion. The issue of Goldenberg did not start yesterday. The people we are mentioning, for example, Pattni, were not born yesterday. Those guys have been there since then. Moreover, judgements have been delivered. Before the Jubilee Government, there was the Grand Coalition Government. The Motion they are bringing now was supposed to be dealt with by the last Government. I have realized that issues that were so difficult in the past Government were deferred waiting for the Jubilee Government. view

• 9 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, moreover, the reason why I oppose this Motion is as follows: You have heard from the Report that most of the people who have been mentioned are deceased - may they rest in peace.

So, you can imagine if we provide a conducive environment for girls in schools, how many worlds will we have educated? I come from a pastoralist community, specifically the view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I take this opportunity to introduce myself, but I am not making a maiden speech. I am hon. James Lomenen from Turkana South. view
