• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we also want the issue of the relevant legislation in regard to the review of the Petroleum Act and Mineral Oil Exploration Act be fast- tracked so that, by the time the County Governments are in place, everyone is satisfied, including all those communities that are in areas where rare minerals are found. I have in mind Kwale, gold in Kakamega and Migori, oil in Turkana and coal in Kitui. Those counties must have a share of that natural resource. I want to repeat one thing that I have said out this House before. Normally, when ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish the Minister for Finance and the Minister for Planning, National Development and Vision 2030 were here. The famous Sessional Paper of 1965 that categorized this country into high potential and low potential areas is a document that should not be ignored; we are watching keenly from Turkana to see how the upcoming Budget allocation of the resources and the money in the Budget is going to be done. If money is allocated based on the potentiality of an area, now we have Turkana County that has super potential. We will want to see resources ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: We would want to see resources allocated to improve the bad roads, solve the water and health problem and to improve the entire infrastructure. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the President was talking about insecurity, he did touch internally on the problems in the Coast. I do support the Government that we are one country, one Government, one people and the Government should make every effort to redress that situation. If it is about the issues that have been raised by the people in the Coast Province, let the Government redress those issues. But I was shocked not to hear anything about cattle rustling insecurity in the President’s Address. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: This is a problem that is in northern Kenya, the whole of North Rift, the whole of upper eastern and it is now catching up even in some places of Nyanza and some parts of southern rift. For how long are we going to keep quiet on this problem that has killed so many people? For how long? I think it is high time the Government prioritized, particularly now that there is oil in Turkana – the epicentre of cattle rustling insecurity. The Government should put it as a priority so as to eliminate this problem once and for all. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to applaud the President also for raising the issue of the LAPPSET corridor. Indeed, I want to thank him because this is going to be one of the legacies he will leave this country with. But let the President and the Prime Minister – the two principals – take the lead; even after laying the foundation stone in Lamu, I am seeing the relevant Government Ministries not moving very fast to implement this project. Let the President, in the next couple of months that are remaining, prioritize this. He has the support of the ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Lastly, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is what the President said in his Address, that he is not in support of regional politics and parties. This is important because there are many of my colleagues here--- view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, Turkana South, where the oil has been found! view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 29 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support that amendment and say that this is what should apply all over. You will realize that in the draft IEBC Report, no proper consultations were done with communities concerned. They ended up shifting wards without consulting the people involved. This is particularly so in Turkana where two wards mainly Kalapata and Letea view
