• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: There are so many people in Taita Taveta, Kajiado and Narok counties who are killed on a daily basis by wild animals. We value these wild animals so much because view

• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: they bring us a lot of tourist dollars. In fact, whenever the Maasai people kill a lion, they are sent to jail for five years. However, when a lion kills a Maasai, he is never compensated. It is about time that we started valuing our people and respecting the pronouncements from this House. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: When we stand here and we represent our people, we should be able to plead with the Executive to compensate those people. Let us not just be paying lip service here all time. We travelled there and we were so many of us. I would like to request that this committee that you will commit this Statement to, to consider - if it is not the Senator from Taita Taveta who will move this Statement - the committee by suo motto should come up with a Motion so that we can finally pronounce ourselves on this issue of human-wildlife conflict. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I really thank you for allowing me to comment on it. view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you. I begin by thanking the distinguished Senator of Samburu County for raising this matter which we must talk about on a daily basis. When you wake up in the morning and watch Cable News Network, Inc. (CNN), they will give you the news. Twenty minutes later, they will remind you of the news and keep reminding you until someone acts. Drought is ravaging our economy. Our people, the pastoralists are now languishing in poverty. We all know there is no way we can detect drought. It is not like any other natural hazard such as ... view

• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: distinguished Senator of Tana-River County for asking why we cannot prepare ourselves year. I believe that it is about time we now start coming up with measures to conserve water when we have floods. It is time for us to preserve food for areas which are hardly hit. This morning when I was reading the news, I saw a picture of a journalist, Mashirima Kapombe, holding a child from Kilifi County, suffering because of the drought. We were able to see that child. What about the other children who were not seen by anybody; who have no journalist to go ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: On a serious note, we talk about trying to improve the standard of living of our people, but I think it is just about time that we now started planning. We collect so much revenue from every county. These are things that I keep talking about. It is about time that this House of union should now pronounce itself through Motions directing each and every county to set up an emergency fund where we can more revenue from it and map out. Just like they can carry out a spatial plan to collect revenue for building that county, they can ... view
• 19 Oct 2022 in Senate: I keep talking about Kajiado County because it is one of the two counties, Narok being the other, which are neighbours and belong to the same economic bloc. I represent Narok County. When people in Kajiado County suffer, the people of Narok County also suffer. This is because all the cows in Kajiado County are moved. This morning, I had a call from a friend of mine who now wants to get into the meat industry. The first thing he said was, “I want to go to Kajiado County, Il bisil Market, to buy cows because they are now very ... view
