Globally, we have seen hurricanes and storms affecting the people. Some of them cause aircraft accidents like in the Sahara. We have also seen rising temperatures in the seas. We have seen the rise of some of the lakes like Lake Baringo in our country. view

Some of the causes of climate change are sometimes man made. In our country today, you realise that we are discovering oil in Turkana and North Eastern. We have also discovered coal in Eastern Province, especially in Mwingi. These are going to emit carbon dioxide which is going to bring about climate change.

They are under an international obligation ... view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Supplementary Appropriation Bill. First, coming from Kajiado Central, I wish to make a very strong appeal to the Commission on Revenue Allocation. Kajiado Central has been totally marginalised. It is not in the Equalisation Fund and I would like this to be known, that we are a very dry and arid area. The Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) needs to know this. view
• 25 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I support this Bill, first of all, I would like to also commend our technocrats in the National Treasury for negotiating for the Euro Bond which is in the region of Kshs175 billion. It will help this country’s economy to stabilise. It is very important that those who did that have this country at heart. view

• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. I stand to pay tribute to a great man. The late Gen. Mulinge was a great hero, who deserves the gratitude of our nation for remarkable and exceptional service to our country. Gen.
