• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, John is my brother. We share the same name. view
• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, unless the Chairman can confirm today that the ECTS is fully operational by this morning, then I will agree with what he is saying. What I know is that this system is being operated in a very selective manner. I want to give an example. Trucks ferrying petroleum products are not allowed to access that border through Turkana. The customs officers recommend the Malaba-Busia border. This has really affected revenue and development in Turkana. I want to justify this by the number of trucks. Five years ago, there were 13,000 trucks annually passing through our border. ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the statement from the Chairperson, especially when he says that we can check. I know that they are very selective; they want to blockade oil products and the people of Eastern Equatorial State. Sudan is a very large country; they have federalism and the people of Eastern Equatorial State have complained to us that they are getting unfair advantage because their regions – like Torit – are now facing a petroleum crisis because they cannot fuel their cars. They have requested us that this border, which is closer to them, will actually ... view

• 5 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not Eastern Equatorial State only in South Sudan which is complaining. Many of our traders hauling petroleum products by road have found it difficult to go an additional 500 kilometres, destroying their vehicles and going through two borders, yet Kenya can develop its own border with South Sudan. So, we are just passionately appealing to you to consider supporting our traders and business people. Through that, we will be supporting Turkana, West Pokot and that entire route from Eldoret, where those trucks will pass. They will impact on the economy of those areas as ... view

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank my colleagues who came to see me and the whole country following what happened to me. I thank God that I am alive and ready to serve this country. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, which I think is ready. I hope it can be delivered today. view
• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the TSC for approving the posting of two teachers. What I am not sure of is whether there is assurance that these two teachers will report on duty. This is because Lokiriama and Lokipetot primary schools are located in very remote areas in Turkana County. The problem that we face in these areas is insecurity and poor infrastructure. Therefore, accessibility is also a problem. What assurance can you give us that these two teachers will report in Lokiriama and Lokipetot? The Chairperson says there are eight teachers in the school, but three teachers ... view
