• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I will speak in English not because you have checked my Kiswahili and found that it is not appropriate, but because I think it is appropriate to move the Motion in English. Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 33(1), I move that the House do adjourn for the purpose of discussing a matter of urgent national importance, following tribal fighting that occurred in Transmara, and specifically along the Kilgoris/Emurua Dikirr constituencies, between 22nd and 23rd September 2017 where several people lost their lives. So far, we have lost around 10 people. ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: from both sides necessitated by several issues which do not compare with the lives of the people who died in those particular incidences. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you must also understand that there is no winner in a war. There are only losers. There are people who die. There are loved ones who die. Widows and orphans are left destitute. There is no winner in war. That is why I want to take this opportunity to tell the people of Transmara wherever they are that activities to do with war, where people fight and kill each other, do not belong to ... view
• 28 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: crimes, so that people can be peaceful, knowing very well that so-and-so was killed and the person who killed them is already in custody. That will save us a lot of the problems that we have been having in that particular area. My request to the Government is to, please, arrest the people who were involved in the skirmishes. The people who live there have for a long time not had border problems. We have not had any problems with our boundaries. We have not had any land problems. We have not had any disputes among the communities living in ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to congratulate you for being elected as one of the panelists, and as the First Chairperson of the Chairman’s Panel. view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: You look awesome in that seat. Congratulations! I may not make contributions to this particular Motion that is being discussed now. I just wanted to bring to the notice of this House and the nation at large what has happened in both Trans Mara East and Trans Mara West. Several people have been killed. The situation in Trans Mara is very unfortunate. What has happened there falls within our jurisdiction. It affects all of us, including you. So many people have been killed. One businessman was killed at night and that triggered the killing of several other people who were ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: bring those people together. Pusangi, where most of the massacres took place, is where my father and my mother got married. It is in Maasailand. My father used to live in a manyatta and got married traditionally. It is very unfortunate that today, we have found the difference between us and yet, our fathers never saw the difference between the Maasais and the Kipsigis. It is very unfortunate that today when a person is killed, the other community revenges. I want us to take the earliest opportunity to ensure that we bring those communities together and make them live together. ... view
• 27 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: I only want to say that may God rest those souls in eternal peace and may he also bring peace in those troubled areas so that we can have peaceful coexistence among the communities in that particular constituency. view

• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for this chance. From the outset, I want to thank God the creator and the people of Emurua Dikirr for giving me this second chance to come back to this House and serve them again. I know my people of Emurua Dikirr went through a lot during these elections. They went through a lot of pain, persecution and agony. Some people died. Others were hospitalized and others are rotting in jail because of an election. I have never understood why there had to be violence. I do not want to say much on that because it ... view
• 14 Sep 2017 in National Assembly: this country. Like what my colleagues said, I think it was by design that God wanted us to have this ruling so that Kenya can show the world that Kenya is a democracy, believes in the rule of law and the Constitution. When the President accepted the verdict of the court, although he said he did not agree with it, the whole of Africa was at a standstill: How can a sitting president accept a verdict like this? The world thought this country would go to the dogs or would decide to go to war. But our President made a ... view
