• 20 Nov 2013 in Senate: The GSU and the Ray Company, who were along that border, have now been transferred to support the oil operations. What are we doing along these borders to ensure that peace will prevail and to control this banditry? view
• 12 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, so much has gone wrong in the way Tullow Oil operates in Turkana in terms of employment, award of tenders, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and in terms of the general attitude towards the locals.

• 23 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to express my sympathy for the people of West Pokot, who were raided this time. This is an area where we have so many counter raids; with the Turkanas raiding the Pokots, and the Pokots raiding the Turkanas. I have always said that until we resolve the issue of land disputes amongst these two communities; as long as we do not know where the border is, we are not going to experience peace. Along that border, you will not know whether you are in West Pokot or in Turkana. In this particular area--- view
