• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. I am a Member of that Committee and I am glad to say that the nominees met all the constitutional requirements. We looked at their CVs and they have solid and impeccable academic qualifications. They have rich and vast experience. They are focused and strategic. They have a clean personal record. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: As my colleagues have earlier said, the three come from pastoralist background. For those who do not know, pastoralists are endowed with great and surpassing intelligence. They are talented, brilliant scholars and professionals. For a long time, this country has done itself a disservice by not engaging these brains. I want to thank His Excellency the President for the appointments that demonstrate inclusiveness and regional balance. He has truly discovered these inherent skills and competencies. These appointments do not only offer Kenya qualified bureaucrats, but they have also stirred excitement and a sense of belonging and patriotism among the pastoralists. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, the Ministry of Mining is one of the most, if not the most, underfunded. We want to appreciate the immense work that this Ministry is awaiting and one of which is undertaking an airborne geo-physical survey of the minerals. Therefore, there is need for adequate resources for this Ministry. view
• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support this Motion. It is because the youth form a critical mass of our population. A lot of the things happening in Kenya are done by the youth. They are the nation builders. They are an active and vibrant section of our society. Our youth have untapped immense energy. We witnessed that yesterday when they were being misused in an undignified manner during the protests. It is largely because the youth are idle. In the ASAL areas where we have cattle rustling, raids, highway banditry and so on, all those things thrive because ... view

• 12 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: nation, development, equity, wealth creation, jobs for the youth, poverty alleviation and posterity, reduced crime, the Jubilee manifesto and dreams, realizing the Vision 2030 and the Millenium Development Goals (MDGs), then there is need to provide a platform for the youth to release their energies. The people of Kenya need to harness and nurture the potential of our youth. There are many organizations in this country which are engaged in the youth agenda. I know that the United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has a vibrant section that deals with the youth. It has been working with the then Ministry of ... view

• 23 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion with amendments. Coming from Turkana County, there is no reason for me not to support this Motion because fishing is our main means of livelihood. Generally, the fishing industry in Kenya creates jobs for the youth. It provides nutritional values to mothers and children and, therefore, reduces child mortality and maternal problems, particularly those connected to health. We know very well that the fishing industry is improving food security not only in the regions where fish is produced but in the whole ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I would like to appreciate the elaborate Statement given by the Leader of the Majority Party and extend my appreciation to the Deputy President for the extensive work he did for this country. view
