• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I do not understand what Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale is saying. I am only giving you facts. Facts do not lie. Go and watch your television, and you are a social media expert, you will see him addressing the KPR or civilians who have been given brand new uniforms. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: When you isolate leaders from a community, it shocks everybody. He should have gone with Sen. Murkomen, who should be here, Sen. Moi and I. He was also to be accompanied by the Members of Parliament (MPs) who are in charge of those constituencies where the illegal activities have been ongoing. Why did he selectively go with those that he loves and likes? There will be no solution if that is the approach we are taking. Civilians are now armed with guns and they have been given orders to shoot to kill by the Deputy President. That is a very ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: I have been following what is happening keenly. I have been keeping quiet. Yesterday, we buried two people at Cheraptak, who were murdered by the Marakwet. Have you heard me in the media shouting and condemning leaders from Marakwet? No! We agreed using the local leadership and structures that we all --- view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I was giving you a candid example; that, even the Pokots have been murdered by bandits from Marakwet but have you heard us dramatizing it? If it is true that the Government wants to assist, why not take the National Police Service on the other side as well?

• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, you can see the narrative that is being played and meticulously executed by a wing of the Government led by Sen. Murkomen. It is good to listen. We also feel the pinch. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: My people died yesterday. People have died! view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when people keep quiet it does not mean that they are not suffering. The national Government enabled the Turkana, Pokot and Samburu to come together and live peacefully through an engagement of two months, and it worked. We have never had any problem with the Marakwet and Tugen community. Even our dialects are almost similar. If the Government engaged leadership from all the communities involved at that time, why are we only seeing a few people being involved? My brother can confirm that we talked as late as Thursday last week. I asked that we should ... view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am being honest and candid. I talked to my brother here last week and he can swear by the Bible. We need to deal with the issue of Kerio Valley, just as we dealt with it two months ago in the highlands – Kalamalokon and Lelan – where I called him. I spent three days and by the grace of God we have peace there. The problem is now active in a different place. I wonder why they did not call us to go there, unless they are playing politics. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: You will have your time. view
• 28 Feb 2017 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, my conclusion is as follows. The shoot-to-kill order should be withdrawn with immediate effect. view
