We suffer from that, all of us. We are so gullible to a point that every single year, we come back here and talk about the challenges of drought and corruption. It is about time that if we are indeed a serious lot as a country, we need to be our brother’s keeper. There is really no reason as to why Mr. Silas Kibiwott in ... view

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I rise to support the Statement by Sen. Pareno. The issue of land ownership in this country is something that must be resolved once and for all. I went to Embakasi and I want to thank Governor Sonko for going there and giving the Maasais something that they could spend for a couple of days. Were it not for the rule of law, I would have called all the Maasais there and have them fight for their rights. There is something that we call ewoshi emouwo and when you blow that trumpet, you call for ... view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, it is wrong and I once again thank Governor Sonko because he went there.

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I come from a school of thought that believes that facts are very stubborn. At no point did I say that the people who had encroached into Mau forest were not human. The only thing that I said--- view
• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, with all due respect to the nominated Senator from Bomet, I said that you cannot compare the situation in Mau forest with what happened in Embakasi and I laid proper background as to what happened there. These are people who have lived there for 38 years; the land is not occupied by anyone else apart from them. view

• 28 Feb 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, one of our biggest undoing is that we do not sit in this House to listen so as to know the person who requested for a Statement. The distinguished Senator is now saying that I am the one who requested for the Statement when I am only riding on it. The Statement was requested by Sen. Pareno.
