• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Asante sana, Mhe. Naibu Spika wa Muda. Kwanza, nigependa kumpongeza mwenye Hoja kwa kunipatia dakika moja kwa sababu sikuweza kuchangia Hoja hii. view
• 14 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Asante sana. Kwanza, ningependa kumpongeza Mhe. Ali kwa sababu Hoja yake ni nzuri. Hoja hii itafanya sisi wengine ambao tunatoka sehemu za kaskazini magharibi mwa Kenya pia tunufaike kwa kupata hospitali ya Level 6. Itakuwa vizuri kama Hoja hii, baada ya kupitishwa, ifuatiliwe ili ifanye kazi mara moja. Kuna sehemu zilipata hospitali za viwango vingine kama Level 4 au Level 5 na hazijawahi kupatiwa huduma nzuri. Kuziorodhesha hospitali hizo katika viwango hivyo haikuweza kuzisaidia. Muda wangu umeisha. Ahsante. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This is my first term in Parliament. I am the Member for Loima Constituency. I have already made my maiden speech and other contributions as well. I support this important Motion brought by my colleague, friend and neighbour in the North Rift. I come from a dry county; a semi desert. I see the importance of this Motion. It will benefit a county like Turkana.

• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Trees help much in climate control. It will be prudent to have more trees so as to moderate the effects of the scorching sun. The sun has ravaged trees in ASAL areas. So, planting trees will help such counties to have more trees in the entire belt. One challenge that I foresee in implementing this Motion is lack of water in our counties. That is why I am asking this House to do something about it. Down there in our counties, members of county assemblies (MCAs) have no budget line to implement projects while the priority problems that we have ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance. The other day when I gave my Maiden Speech, I said that I have served in elective positions for a number of terms as a councillor and an MCA. I have served for three consecutive terms. Having studied the lives of my colleagues who lost elective positions in the past, I have noted that some of them lose their lives from the frustrations they get out there. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I support this Motion of approving three Members to the Parliamentary Pensions Management Committee. I know what it takes to lose in an election. I have also seen Members of this House from Turkana County who have lost elections die. It is not because they got old or because they lacked employment, but because of frustrations and lack of a pension scheme that would have enabled them to cope with situations out there.

• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I join my colleagues in supporting the passage of these Members who will deliberate on issues of Members’ pension with seriousness so that Members of Parliament live decent lives even after politics. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I also join my fellow Kenyans and other Members of Parliament in conveying my condolences to the family of the late Governor of Nyeri County. I remember I met him once when we had an informal meeting with the Governor of Turkana County who is the Chairman of the Council of Governors. As a Member from Turkana and a Kenyan who has interacted with members from the Kikuyu community, it is prudent to pass our condolences, from Turkana, to the family of the late Governor of Nyeri. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: I support this Motion. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Before I contribute to this very important Motion, I want to recognise the people of Loima Constituency who have at different levels elected me to political positions for about four times, starting with the defunct Turkana County Council position, when they elected me twice and subsequently as a Member of the County Assembly (MCA). I was the Leader of the Minority Party of Turkana County Assembly. I am now a Member of the National Assembly representing my constituency. That is an important recognition to me. In this House, we have some senior ranking Members. ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: common resources to share and common issues to arbitrate on how they relate to matters of international cohesiveness. Having read something about the Nile Basin, which I also visited some years ago, there are so many resources that can be shared by the 10 riparian countries that have formed this treaty. There is potential for geothermal energy, which can be shared by these countries. Water resources range from the ecosystem arrangements in terms of aquatic and the terrestrial ecosystems that exist within the Nile River Basin. However, before signing this Agreement, certain issues ought to have been put in place. ... view
