• 30 Sep 2015 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while I want to thank the Chair of this Committee for that long answer, it beats logic why one would be paid Kshs10, 000 (US$100). Very little money has been paid to IDPs and I would not understand why one would be paid such little money but let me go to the Turkana experience. Over 10,000 Turkanas lost their property. We, in Turkana, allocated them land, the Government initiated construction of houses and for the last seven years, they have not completed half of them. I want to put a very small suggestion. I know this ... view
• 23 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the National Police Reservists (NPR) do a good job in the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs). Sen. Musila, I and many of us here, would want to have many NPR units in our areas. What policy has the Government put in place to ensure that there is recruitment and establishment of the NPR in strategic areas like Makueni and Kitui which have faced severe harassment by cattle rustlers? view
• 21 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on National Security and Foreign Relations. The Statement is in relation to the killing of police officers in Lokichogio. In the Statement, I would like the Chairperson to address the following pertinent issues:- (a) confirm if the Government is aware of the killings that took place on 18th July, 2015, where an Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) Lokichogio and National Police Reservists were killed by Toposa cattle rustlers from the Eastern Equatorial State of South Sudan; (b) explain the action the Government will take ... view
• 9 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the time Sen. Lonyangapuo requested for this Statement, there was a lot of conflict in Turkana and West Pokot. But I must report to this House that matters have been calm for the last three weeks. We want to encourage the two communities to work in harmony and develop joint projects that will help improve the economy and lifestyle of our people there. I would only encourage the leadership of Turkana and West Pokot to consider initiating the stalled projects, like the eco-lodge that was stopped by West Pokot from being constructed in Turkana. We could ... view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me start by thanking the Chairperson for that elaborate presentation. The Kenyan territory is critically in question. As we all heard in this House, there are disputes in the four neighbouring countries. If you look at our borders, the Kenyan territory is defined in--- view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Chapter 2 and Article 5 of our Constitution define our borders as “borders defined by an Act of Parliament”. The only existing Act of Parliament that we have is the District and Provinces Act of 1992 which defines some of these territories like the Turkana County as a flat line which leaves out the whole chunk of the Elemi Triangle. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when is this Government undertaking a process or a programme to resolve the dispute in the northern part of this country that is now called “the dispute of the Eelmi Triangle”? view
• 8 Jul 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the way this matter has been responded to by the Vice Chairperson. In view of what has been said here, Kenyans out there are not sure of what the true map of Kenya is. The Vice Chairperson should tell us what the true map is. Is it the straight line from Mogila to Lake Turkana? Is the Elemi Triangle still ours as far as the dispute is concerned? On the issue of the District and Provinces Act of 1992, which conflicts with our map, what specific action will the Government take to ... view
• 13 May 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Let me also join my colleagues in thanking Sen. Karaba in bringing this very important petition from the nine clans of the Agikuyu. I want to take this opportunity to address the chamber and to raise a matter of national importance. Two of our communities in Turkana and West Pokot have been fighting thinking that by fighting over boundaries, they will determine them. Sen. Orengo has ably put it that the boundaries will be determined by the two Houses of Parliament. The conflict in Turkana and West Pokot is over boundaries because they have 19 ... view
