• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion. This is a very important Motion for people who come from the pastoralist areas. We know that the KPRs are heroes in these areas. They are usually the first responders. They are the first point of call whenever there are these incidents and they perform exceptionally. They are heroes because they are the last men standing. Usually, when we have conflicts they are the first ones to come out. They are the ones who follow the livestock and guard our people. They have done a ... view

• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: accounts if you are allowed to keep more than that amount in a bank. This is something that our country requires, particularly now that we are devolving to the counties, where everybody claims to have some power.

It is a well documented fact that 75 per cent of our wildlife live outside national parks. I grew up herding my father’s cows and also elephants by extension and all ... view
