• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to make a Personal Statement pursuant to Standing Order No.45(2)(a) regarding the ongoing conflict at the border of Baringo and Turkana Counties, especially in a place called Kapedo. I am making this statement because there have been allegations by some leaders linking me to the said conflict. This has been brought to the public domain through the media. I would, therefore, like to set the record straight by refuting these allegations very strongly. They are baseless and far from the truth. I also strongly condemn any act of banditry in the said counties or ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, further to the question that my brother and neighbour, Sen. Munyes, has asked, to demonstrate the gravity of the matter, as a result of diverting all these vehicles through Uganda, there is now a deliberate move not to repair or build the Kitale-Kapenguria-Lodwar-Lokichoggio Road. As a result of this, the road is now a mess. Secondly, we want to know whether that is now the Government policy; that we must drive these lorries to Uganda and neglect our own road, which would have actually made it better. Thirdly, how many active border points do we have ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we request the Chairperson bring an exhaustive answer to this statement. This is because all the yards in Kapenguria, Chepareria, Ortum, Kainuk, Lodwar and now Nadapal, where these lorries used to park and the hotels and lodgings that were found there are now empty. We want the lorries to come back so that the economies of our people can actually continue to thrive. We do not want the workers there to be laid off, like what has happened in Mombasa, where no tourists are coming in now. view

• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries regarding the impending food shortage occasioned by the damage to maize in the farms due to the onset of short rains. In the Statement, the Chairperson should address the following:- (i) Whether the authorities are aware that there are ongoing prolonged ElNino like rains, especially in the North Rift, threatening the little maize in the farms and if there are plans to provide farmers with mobile dryers to redeem the maize from rotting. (ii) When the National Cereals and ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I want to thank Sen. Wetangula and all the colleagues who have spoken before me for remembering to bring this Motion after the recess to discuss the character of a man who left us. He was not just an ordinary Kenyan; he was a professor of high standing here in Kenya and outside. These are the type of people who made the Kenyan flag fly high in the world particularly in the academia. He can be equated to some of the athletes that have brought fame to our land. Despite this, it is only ... view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I am happy that my colleague has reminded me. I worked with him in Moi University and he is a professor of renowned standing. Those are the people I am saying we should recognise and use. As we create a syllabus for our Early Childhood Development (ECD) --- Sen. Kagwe, who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Education is here, and he is not listening. view
• 23 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Speaker Sir, I was saying that the Chairman of the Committee on Education is here, thus to prepare the ECD syllabus of our children in the counties, these renowned people in the counties must be identified so that our children know their value and contributions. People like Prof. Bethwel Allan Ogot, the most serious renowned historian is here. Moi University, Maseno University, the University of Nairobi and Makerere University are what they are because of people like Prof. Musangi, Prof. Munavu and Prof. Kiptoon and many others. Do our children in Kenya know about them? We have renowned ... view
