• 19 Oct 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker that is very useful information. I just want to add on to what Sen. Sakaja has said. He should please listen to me. Either his Committee or the Committee on Roads and Transportation also needs to work on the infrastructure for sports. I am not talking about stadia. I am talking about working with the Ministry of Transport and Infrastructure to ensure that there are running tracks along the tarmac roads in Uasin Gishu, Elgeyo-Marakwet, and Nandi to start with. This is because the tarmac roads are no longer safe. You remember Geoffrey Kamworor; he was going ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for the opportunity to speak to this very important Petition affecting the people of Kirimun concerning historical injustices touching on the people of Samburu living in Laikipia. Historical land injustices remains a very thorny issue in this country. The Constitution was passed in 2010 with a view to resolving among others the thorny issue of historical land injustices. The Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Commission was established and expected to become part of the solution to the problems bedeviling this country. Unfortunately, we live in a Nation where we fear confronting our challenges. One of the ... view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: uncomfortable in this country. This is because they know that the land they have, they acquired it illegally. I can almost swear an affidavit that Sen. Rose Nyamunga is not one of them. We need to reach a stage in Kenya where we confront our challenges, face our giants; where those who are in public office, including us, the politicians here, are willing to have a face to face conversation with the people of Kenya and say: “This is what we have done and the problem ends here.” However, the problem we have in this country is a lot of ... view

• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: . If you go to the Rift Valley, you will hear many communities complaining about their historical lands and how they were moved to benefit a few ‘big’ people who were controlling the Government at that point in time. view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to ask young leaders in this country to read the history of this country because very few people read due to the culture of the social media. People need to learn that if we do not read our history to understand where we come from, we may never confront the challenges we are facing in our country now and in future. As part of dealing with this problem that Sen. (Dr.) Lelegwe has brought, young people of Kenya like Sen. Ngugi and the generation behind him should start by reading. Read the history of the ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have the one for Mr. Simeon Nyachae, who also autographed his biography for me. It has a very good part on historical land justices. Every time I travel with Sen. Wetangula and Sen. Orengo, they always have books by their side. They read everywhere they go. If you sit with them to listen to their stories, you realize that these are people who have content because they read. However, our current generation does not read. We are always on WhatsApp, Twitter and other social platforms. We think we are ‘big’ people because we control some followers ... view
• 14 Oct 2021 in Senate: We need to learn and understand that there are people who are suffering because there is a history to it. The conflict that is in Laikipia County is not a conflict of today. There is a history and foundation to it. There is historical marginalization there. There are people whose property was taken away from them. For example, we have small view
