• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yesterday, I had a chance to look at some of the audit reports which were tabled in this House and I was perturbed. If you look at certain revenues in Narok County, there was no additional documentation given to the Auditor General and I know we are going to discuss that later. However, I am concerned that we want the money to go to the counties, but the suppliers are yet to be paid, the Auditor General has not been supplied with proper documents and the Public Finance Managed Act, Section 116(7) is still being violated. ... view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have nothing to say. The Senate Majority Leader should make sure that it is here on time. We have been waiting for this Statement for quite some time now. view
• 8 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have been waiting for this Statement for quite some time. The Senate Majority Leader should push for it. If he can give us an indication on when this Statement would be ready, that would help us. view

• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order 46(2)(b) I rise to seek a statement – which is really a follow-up on Sen. Lelegwe’s statement – from the Leader of Majority regarding the displacement of the Samburu pastoralists in Ratia, Laikipia North Constituency in Laikipia County. In the statement, the Leader of Majority should state whether the period within which the gazette notice dated 17th March, 2017 by the then Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government declaring Rumuruti, Olmoron, Kirimon, Ngarua, Marmanet, Mukongondo East and Sengera as disturbed and dangerous areas where possession of any arms ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, before I go to the second Statement, I know that the Leader of Majority has said that this is the same question; it is not. My question is specific to a Gazette Notice dated 17th March, 2017. I have asked specific questions regarding the composition of the forces that were there. They were specific matters that ought to be answered specifically. Thank you. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, two weeks is too long. When I visited the area, I realized that the wife to one of the aggrieved persons is currently admitted in hospital. It is good for us to know this, because it cannot wait. So, a much shorter time will actually help. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I rise once again pursuant to Standing Order No.46(2)(b) to seek a statement from the Senate Majority Leader regarding the status of over 63,000 acres of land owned by the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) in Laikipia County. In the statement, the Senate Majority Leader should: (1) State whether the Government is aware that the Samburu Community has for the past 40 years grazed in a land owned by the ADC, which is about 63,000 acres. (2) Confirm the status of the said land and specifically around Mutara area. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I do not want to laugh at my dear brother. That is where the Samburu are being killed and that is where their economy is being destroyed. This matter is extremely urgent. How do you explain forcible eviction of a community and killing of all their animals the following day? That is the land they have been living on! It is important for the Senate Majority Leader to take this matter very seriously. Even though the Samburus and Maasais who live in Laikipia do not have title deeds, that is where they have been calling home. So, ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I think the Senate Majority Leader did not understand my question. I request that he is given a copy. He ended up twisting what I said. There is a serious urgency in this matter. The Samburu people living in that area were forcibly evicted. This happened last year following the gazettement of that area as a dangerous zone. Those people have called that place home. We talked about historical injustices but this is something which is extremely painful to the Maa-speaking people particularly the pastoralists. The Senate Majority Leader should take this matter very seriously because I ... view
