• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I just wanted to remind the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Lands Environment and Natural Resources – I know he is busy – that there was a statement which had already been issued by the previous Minister for Lands and Physical Planning. He issued two reports in particular concerning this parcel of land. So, my request is whether he can take seven days, because this issue had already been dealt with; it is just that it is conflicting. Alternatively, we can get a preliminary statement in seven days and then the full report in ... view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me an opportunity to ride on the statement by the distinguished Senator for Kirinyaga. I would like the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Lands, Environment and Natural Resources, in his response, to let this House know how many forest officers are deployed to the Mau Forest which is being destroyed on a daily basis. I thank you. view
• 6 Mar 2018 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had consultations with the Chairperson of the Senate Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations, Sen. Haji. I have just been given the response and I will need time to interrogate it to know whether it is appropriate or not. We have agreed that he issues it tomorrow. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: On a Point of Order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is it order for the Senate Majority Leader to caution the Speaker all the time? Yes, I would like to request you to rule on the Point of Order, but cautioning the Speaker is not right. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: I agree, my time is almost over, but the Members are busy consulting. Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is even over. view
• 28 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I arise to make my contribution to this Policy Paper on the Slum Upgrading and Prevention Policy. The reason why we are here is to support devolution. I have looked at the overall policy objective of this Sessional paper. I support it. However, there are questions that we ought to be asking ourselves on why we have these problems. I would also argue that this Sessional Paper No. 2 of 2016 is quite old. We may be debating it now for various reasons, but the best way to stop the influx of rural-urban migration ... view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. On behalf of the people of Narok, the Maasai and the Ilchamus of Baringo, I want to welcome you to the Senate. I plead with you, my dear brothers and sisters, that it is a high time that we all lived in peace. I visited the area in Mukutani and I realized that all the Ilchamus who originally lived peacefully with you are now living in the Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camps. So, I would like to urge and beseech you that in your deliberations --- view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to take this opportunity to welcome the delegation. In my tradition of the Maasai Community, you cannot be speaking to somebody if you are not looking at them. We welcome our guests here and it is good to give them the eye contact. I will address them through you. view
• 22 Feb 2018 in Senate: My concern is that this country is highly divided because we all retreat into our own tribal cocoons. Since we now have a devolved government system, it is a high time we try and embrace our neighbours. Therefore, I would like to urge our brothers and sisters who are visiting to sit down and try and come up with a good peaceful resolution on how the Ilchamus can coexist with the Pokots. It is very sad when you visit an Internally Displaced Persons (IDP) camp and when you are there, two or three babies are born. Yes, it is a ... view
