• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want to inquire something from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Health. Turkana is in danger because of bordering three countries. Turkana County borders Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan. The people from Uganda, Sudan and Ethiopia move in and out of Turkana County without being checked. Has the Ministry of Health put in place any measures to ensure that the Turkana are not affected by Ebola from those countries? view

• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I rise to support the Bill. If there is a sector in this country that we need to put in order, it is the construction sector. Coming up with the NCA is to bring order into The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 12 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: construction companies. If you go to all towns in this country, the kinds of buildings we have, have been the cause of killings in our towns. We want to encourage this Authority to come up with very strong regulations to control such kinds of buildings in our urban centers.

• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this debate.

Some are given land but they extend beyond what they have been given by the Government. We need the Government to make sure that the people given prospecting licences are monitored so that they do not take more land than what they had been given. Secondly, it is ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: want companies to reap all the benefits and leave local people poor. We want this Bill to take into consideration the issue of selling shares to the host community so that they too can own the companies. It is wrong not to involve the local community in decision making. We want to alleviate poverty in these areas. Finally, on environment; during prospecting chances are that our environment will be affected negatively. The process of mineral exploration can damage the environment terribly. When NEMA is given an opportunity to do the report, they do not write according to what is there. ... view
• 5 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Government should make sure that NEMA writes exactly what is there. For instance, some places in Turkana are deserts and not what they were before. This is because the people who are exploiting oil have very strong vehicles and machines. When they pass somewhere, the grass does not germinate again. The seeds die completely. So, we urge the Government to make sure that after the companies have done their geological survey and are leaving the place, they should leave the environment intact. They should plant some trees and treat the land, so that it can ... view
