• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. From outset, I stand to support this Petition. It is heartbreaking to see how Kenyans are being treated, by being evicted from where they have lived for a long time. However, it is not lost to us that we must maintain our environment. However, as we do so, it is equally important to make sure that Kenyans are living and are treated with dignity. view
• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you come to Laikipia, we are facing the same problem in an area called Marmanet. The people who were living there were evicted from that forest and were sent to villages. If you go to Nyahururu, there is a village called Maina and Manguo Villages, where people are living in very unconducive conditions. It is so unfortunate, because in Laikipia, it is believed that we have very large tracts of land yet The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Sep 2019 in Senate: the people who are in them are foreigners. It, therefore, beats any logic for any Government to be in power and yet its citizens are suffering. If you also go to Nanyuki, you will find a place called Kwambuzi, where people were evicted and they are living in villages in those bad conditions. If you go to Majengo, Nanyuki, and Rikie, you will find that the conditions they are living in there are bad, with no hospitals or roads. It is as if the Government has neglected its people. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are a people who know how to ... view

• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Asante sana, Bw. Spika, kwa kunipa fursa hii. Nataka kujumuika na wenzangu kutuma risala zangu na za watu wa Laikipia za rambirambi kwa jamaa ambao walipoteza watoto wao pale shuleni. Hili ni jambo la kuvunja moyo sana kwa kuwa katika Wizara yetu ya Elimu, kuna kile kitengo cha ukaguzi ambacho kinapaswa kuwa kimepitia pale kukagua shule vile ilivyo. Lakini inaonekaka hakuna chochote walichokuwa wamefanya. Hii ni kwa sababu darasa lilibomoka, watoto wengine wakapata majeruhi na wengine wakapoteza maisha yao. Bw. Spika, jambo linalovunja moyo sana ni kwamba hakuna hatua yoyote iliyo chukuliwa dhidi ya yule mwekezaji. Yeye anaonekana ni mtu ... view
• 25 Sep 2019 in Senate: Bw. Spika, ukiangalia, utaona kwamba hali hii imeletwa na wale wanaohusika kwa kuwa ni wafisadi. Badala ya kufanya kazi waliyopewa kwa uangalifu, wanatumia hela kuwamaliza Wakenya ambao ni hohe hahe. Asante sana. view

• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: I want to start by saying that the sovereign power belongs to the people of Kenya; it is not in institutions. I stand to support the Statement by Sen. Abshiro Halakhe because the KDF has the habit of taking people’s land. In a village called Kiamburi in Laikipia County, they have taken our land. That land belongs to the ordinary citizens, and we are now being treated like Third Class citizens. view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: We want to ask the Committee that will be taking that responsibility to move with speed because it is only in this Parliament where we are looking to have our justice done. The KDF are feared by every other person because they are the people with the ammunition. Unfortunately, the Constitution states clearly that the power belongs to the people of Kenya, whether you are rich or poor. It does not belong to any institution. It belongs to the people of Kenya and we made a decision that if the land belongs to us, the people of Kiamburi, we want ... view
• 24 Sep 2019 in Senate: I would encourage the Chairman and Committee responsible not to be intimidated or fear anybody. All they need is to read the Constitution, and we must be given what belongs to us. view
