At the time, we were able to get a signed agreement by the elders, the Njuri Ncheke in Meru, in West Pokot and in Kuria. Looking at the data, it has had some effect. view
• 10 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: I support the desire now to move the policy from the old one of abandonment, which looked voluntary, to one of eradication. We must move from abandonment, which looks voluntary, to one of eradication, where we have to come forcefully with the force of the law and eradicate it. This policy of acceleration by 2020 may be a little ambitious, but it is something we should take. We should put enough resources to enforce the laws to get this vice eradicated, if we can. view

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker. I rise to ask Question No.315/2020 to the Cabinet Secretary for Energy: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary explain the delays in the completion of the Olkaria- Lessos-Kisumu electricity transmission line comprising of 400, 220 and 32KV network which was expected to be completed in 2018?

• 5 Nov 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion and congratulate the Member for coming up with it.
