• 26 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to take this opportunity to thank Mr. Kimeto for bringing this Motion. We need the Government to look at the issue of security on our roads. The road from Mombasa, Garissa to Moyale is un-constructed. The road from Nairobi, Isiolo, Marsabit to Moyale is un-constructed. The road from Nairobi to the Ugandan boarder, which is the main artery of development in this country, is impassable. That is very unfortunate! We need to develop airstrips in Moyale and Mandera for security and economic reasons. Secondly, we need to use our railway line in order ... view

• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Livestock and Fisheries Development the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Is the Minister aware that the residents of Kajiado District have lost most of their Cattle, goats and sheep due to the current drought and famine? (b) What is the actual loss of the livestock?

• 19 Apr 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not satisfied with the answers that have been given by the Minister. First, we wanted to know the Government's plan with regard to the waiving of AFC loans granted to pastoralists.

I would like to support this Motion most objectively and positively for the sake of our people. First of all, I would like the Government from today to tell the country what its national security strategy is. It should further tell us whether this national security strategy can protect and safeguard ... view
