• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill will enable the marginalized areas compete reasonably with the rest of Kenya and realize equality so that the marginalized areas become attractive just like the rest of Kenya. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The so-called low potential areas are the ones that we are targeting. Some of these low potential areas like Turkana, Wajir, Marsabit, Isiolo, Garissa and many others are becoming more productive now. If you look at Turkana and Wajir, you will find that we have oil in those counties. Oil exploration and a lot of mineral prospects are going on in many parts of these marginalized areas. This will contribute to the double digit economy that we are looking for in the Jubilee Manifesto. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the priorities identified in this Constitution; in the management of this Fund, are good. The basic services and I believe they are not limited to water, roads, health and electricity alone, are important in the regions. Electricity which is targeted by this Fund will really help in the LAPSSET Project that is earmarked by the Jubilee Manifesto. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This Bill will improve the quality of service to the extent that we enjoy equitable services like most part of this country. Hon. Duale stated very clearly that the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) is the smallest unit of devolution. For instance, if you fly, as he mentioned to Turkana, Samburu and other parts of northern Kenya, you will see desperation. Once you see desperation, you feel that you are in another world and this has made many of us feel isolated and hostile. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: That is why you see the aspirations of the nation are not realized. That is why people are saying that they have no water, health facilities and roads. That is why you end up having a hostile---- Every time you feel that northern Kenya is hostile. It is not hostile because they intend to be hostile but it is hostile because they feel that they are marginalized or isolated from the rest of the country.

• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support this Bill because this will, just like the CDF, add value. Since there is goodwill from this Government and there are already existing structures in the CDF, the Equalization Fund should go through the constituencies. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Therefore, I support this Bill. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank hon. Sakaja. I rise to support this Bill. The category of youth is known and well defined. Going beyond the defined category bracket deprives the youth of this country the role and intentions of the leadership to empower the youth economically and associated contribution to the national economy. view
• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to commend hon. Sakaja for the noble idea of bringing those amendments. This gives the youth an opportunity to share the experience and whatever is required to secure the available opportunities before them within the competitive market.

• 19 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I come from a cosmopolitan constituency where poverty and unemployment is above 70 per cent. This is an opportunity for the youth to improve their lives. view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. My names are Joseph Samal Lomwa. I am the Member of Parliament for Isiolo North. Isiolo is a cosmopolitan county, more so my constituency. Yesterday I was joking with a friend and he told me that I represent the Turkana in diaspora. I am a Turkana but I was born in Isiolo and I represent the interests of a cosmopolitan nature of the people of Isiolo North Constituency. Hon. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank you and your Deputy for being elected. I join my colleagues in congratulating you. With regard to the President’s Speech, ... view
• 23 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: However, Hon. Speaker, Sir, when thinking about such projects, we need to also think about the livelihood systems of people. This project touches on land. We know that land is one thing that is important in our economy. Isiolo still falls under trust land. The same is true for most of the counties in the northern part of Kenya. Adjudication of land is a paramount issue. If we remain as trust land and there are huge projects of this nature being implemented in this region then--- We know it comes with a lot of displacement and a lot of land ... view
