• 14 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: On that note, I support the Motion. I thank the group that travelled to Geneva for a job well done. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute. First, I want to commend this House for rising up to the occasion today and shooting down the purported amendment to this Report. This was the National Assembly at its best because the amendment was mischievous. It was meant to derail the good intentions of the Committee. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Second, I wish to lay the foundation that the issue of Mau touches Nakuru County, Kericho County, Bomet County, Narok County and Baringo County. I am talking about where the Mau belt touches physically. The Kalenjin community starts with the Mau Forest around Kipkelion West Constituency. It comes to Kipkelion East around areas of Kidowa. That is where Mau Forest is. Kericho County, Ainamoi Constituency and Belgut Constituency border Mau Forest. Konoin Constituency, Bomet East Constituency and Bomet Central Constituency are in Maasai Mau. The constituencies in Maasai community are not the only ones that border Mau Forest. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: There are no issues in the areas where the constituencies of the Kalenjin community touch Mau Forest. The issue at hand is the Maasai Mau. The Kalenjin nation ought to be commended for conserving the entire Mau belt from Timboroa area up to the Maasai Mau. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, what I see and read from all these shenanigans is selective justice. The Mau Forest originally extended to areas of Likia and Mau Narok. The forest regions like the Limuru Forest have been excised. There is no forest which has not been excised in this country. So, as we talk about forestry, we ought to look at forests in entirety. Let us not look at Mau Forest in isolation. If you look at it in isolation, that is selective. Let us look at all the forest cover in the entire country. The Mau issue is the ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, protect me. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I was on the Floor and in the mix of things, I was interrupted. view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Before I was interrupted, I was saying that human settlement in Mau started a long time ago. Hon. Joyce Korir was born there and in my estimation, she is over 30 years. We are talking about human settlement that has been there for over 30 years. The Constitution is very clear that everyone has a right to live anywhere in this country so the issue being raised that Maasi Mau belongs to the Maasais alone has taken a tribal angle. Any tribe has freedom to live in Narok. That is what the Constitution says unless the Maasai community wants to ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The Maasai Mau which is in contest now is community land held by Narok County in trust for residents of Narok County. Why is the national Government evicting people from community land? Unless there was express consent from the Narok County which we have never been told, what is the national Government doing there? What business do they have in community land, unless there is express consent from Narok County? view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The person presiding over the evictions is purported to own land within the Mau. When Mr. Natembea was a District Officer in Mulot, he was allocated land in Enkaron Ranch, yet he has not declared his interest. What is good for the goose is also good for the gander. If it is right to evict the rest, then it is right for Mr. Natembea as well. view
