• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: In my constituency, some people applied for IDs in August last year, but up to now, they have not received them. When you ask why the process has delayed, you are told that materials are not available or that the process is taking too long in Nairobi. So, it is good for this process to be taken to the counties, so that people can access this important document. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support the Motion as amended. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to support the Motion. In Uganda, watchmen are licensed to carry guns when guarding institutions like banks unlike in Kenya. In Kenya, you will find a watchman guarding a bank with a club and yet terrorists and robbers are armed with firearms. If firearms are fitted with identification gadgets, we will know legal and illegal firearms. view
• 28 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: In my constituency, a thug with a gun was cornered and it was found that the gun had been hired from a police station and was being used to terrorise people. Recently, armed persons raided Sichei Area, beat and maimed people using a gun that was hired from a police station. If our guns are going to be fitted with identification gadgets, misuse of guns will be curbed. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute on the President‟s Speech. First of all, I want to comment on the resettlement of IDPs. In 2007/2008, the IDPs who were evicted from their land because of the post-election violence were resettled, leaving out the IDPs of 1992 and 1997, who were evicted because of tribal clashes in Mount Elgon. Up to now, these IDPs are still living in camps across Bungoma County. They lack shelter, food, education for their children and health services.

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: With regard to corruption, we should look at roads in our country. A road from Sikata to Kimilili in my constituency was allocated Kshs800 million and done five years ago. At the moment, the road has a lot of potholes because of poor workmanship. The road from Chwele to Lwakhakha, according to the records, was tarmacked but there is nothing like an inch of tarmac on that road. This is because of corruption. view

• 1 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: In western Kenya, the cotton industry collapsed because of corruption. The coffee industry has also collapsed because of corruption. The sugar industry in western Kenya is on the verge of collapsing because of corruption. For how long is this country going to fight corruption to put it to an end, so that people can enjoy their lives? The young men and women who were recruited to join the police force were dropped, and up to now they have not been recalled. People sold their pieces of land to bribe the recruitment officers. Who is going to compensate these people? view
