• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: In the constituency and in this school called Kabete, is where we had the first fighter pilot, the late Fred Omondi, whom we buried a few months back. This is also the constituency where the late Hezekiah Ochuka came from. So, it is a constituency with many unique attributes. The man we will be laying to rest soon was also called Owuor. That is why I am called Aduma Owuor. He is a retired teacher. Both my parents were retired teachers. My biological mother lost her life when I was about four years.

• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of concern is the fact that I raised this issue in the House when I sought a Statement, but my request has not been responded to, to-date. I take great exception that the Leader of Majority Party, who is my great friend, hon. Aden Duale, who was not here when this issue was being discussed--- I take great exception because I recall at one time when I was serving the Government before hon. Duale came to this House, I was the Town Clerk in Garissa. I lost my job due to political reasons because some people ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I also want to say that I raised those issues, but they have not been responded to. Yesterday, I wanted to join my colleagues in the House. I was in Kisumu--- view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for your indulgence. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: As I said, I raised those concerns in the House about two months ago, but no action or report has come forth from the Government. I have been very busy making burial arrangements because the house was razed to the ground. In terms of our culture, there was need to urgently put up a structure to facilitate a quick burial. While at home, I was booked to join my colleagues here yesterday afternoon but when I arrived in Kisumu, I learnt that the District Criminal Investigations Officer, Kisumu, Mr. Ndombi, was circulating messages that I was planning a revenge attack. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: When I got that word, I called on him and he told me that he was actually acting on the instructions of the Provincial Criminal Investigations Officer (PCIO), Mr. Cheruiyot.

• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: culprits. That caused a bit of concern and caused me to miss my flight because I had to go to them to record a statement. I want to report to this House that I recorded a statement at Central Police Station, Kisumu, vide Occurrence Book (OB) No.13 of yesterday, at 11.00 a.m. That caused me to miss my flight, which was scheduled for 11.20 a.m. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I want to encourage hon. Members. I said that I would not mind if the blood of my father would save the people of Nyakach. There are places where we have had traditional rustling issues but Nyakach has not been one of those places. Cattle-rustling has been done at a very small-scale by people who are armed with crude weapons. So, Government can stop the practice, if it is committed. However, there has been no commitment on the part of the Government. I raised those issues. I met the Principal Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, hon. Iringo, ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On Saturday, I was a bit concerned when I read in the newspapers that the Cabinet Secretary personally reported to the public that they had arrested ten suspects. When I made a follow up in the police stations within the county, I realised that nobody had been arrested. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: So, frantic efforts were made the following day to get some people. I am sure that if anybody were to take any due care to follow up the matter, even with the OBs, he will find that nobody had been arrested as at the time the Cabinet Secretary made that statement. Therefore, I warn the people and even hon. Members. Sometimes, I get perturbed when people tell me sorry wherever they get me. I think if this blood could save my people and the country, then I will not have any regret. view
