• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I appreciate that because sometimes the ladies are not recognised in this House. However, on a very serious note I thought when I stood here I would first of all have to thank hon. Chachu but then I remembered before hon. Chachu another great man of this country – hon. Mwai Kibaki – gave an Executive Order to establish the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA). I want to thank hon. Kibaki wherever he is. I know he is a retired man but he is a special man in this country. He did a lot of development projects and I am ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: We went to a special school in New York called Saint Florence together at different times and he is truly a product of that great institution. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Bill establishes a statutory body, away from the Executive Order that President Kibaki gave and I want to support hon. Chachu in that endeavour. This Bill also takes us in the right direction which is to actualise Article 43 (c) of the Constitution of our country which is to provide adequate food for every Kenyan in this nation. I think it is something that we can all be proud ... view

• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, more importantly, with US$2 billion of our GDP losses that we incur as a result of drought, the double digit GDP growth that the Jubilee Government envisages to realise may not be attainable. This is, therefore, a serious thing we have to look at as a country. I happen to come from Samburu County. Before the creation of the counties, the only development in that region was realised through the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) or the Arid Lands Drought Management (ALDM) Project. If you find a borehole anywhere in Samburu County today, it would only have ... view

• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am in support of the Report. Despite the fact that rail transport is a very important component of our country’s economy, the current railway line is 100 years old. We are under constant threat from Tanzania. We might lose this prestigious position as the transport hub of the East African region. Tanzania has just invested about US$11 billion in the construction of a sea port in Bagamoyo, in trying to compete with us for the market of Rwanda, Uganda and Burundi. If we do not move very fast, we will lose to Tanzania. Therefore, I ... view

• 18 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Somebody was reading about 95 per cent and 76 per cent, but FGM in Samburu is about 100 per cent. However, I am one person who stands by science. There is scientific evidence that FGM is harmful and I want to support that. There is also evidence that male circumcision is helpful, particularly against acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS). I want us also to ask the Leader of the Majority Party whether there is a way of promoting male circumcision in this country, so that we can circumcise all men. I mean we should go ... view
