• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I really support this Motion for decentralisation of ID issuance. view
• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: That is noted, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion for the decentralisation of ID insurance. Kenyans face many problems when they seek IDs. In my county, we have many youth who are waiting for ID cards until sometimes we feel that we are not part of Kenya. This is because of the delay. Centralisation of issuance of IDs The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: causes many problems. There is bureaucracy and some technical hitches. Sometimes, when the IDs are issued, female names turn out to be male names. I really support this Motion. If this is decentralised, people will be able to get their IDs at the right time. Centralisation also causes loss of opportunities to our youth. We have many youth who are not able to register for their youth funds or Uwezo Fund because of lack of IDs. Lack of IDs also affects university students. I hereby support this Motion because lack of IDs has really caused many problems in our areas. ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I support this Motion on the Speech that the President read on Thursday last week. I applaud the President for the Speech and the commitment he gave to the country. As per the Jubilee Government, I can feel that there is change in terms of improvement in some sectors like health, where maternity services are now free for the poor women who want to deliver. In the education sector, schools have become free and examination fees have been scrapped. That is an improvement. In the Information, Communications and Technology (ICT) sector, I congratulate the Jubilee ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Kenyans can watch and learn a lot from many channels. In the electricity sector, there is change but much is yet to be realised. On the cash transfers, I can confirm that in my county, the old and vulnerable people receive the money. It really makes an impact. In terms of the growing economy, it is true that Kenya is admired and it has become the preferred destination for investments. However, I want to remind the Jubilee Government that it has a challenge in terms of security. It has to deal with the terror attacks. It is not easy. The ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand before the House to support this Motion. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I have looked at the Report on Major General Lucas Tumbo and I find him relevant for this job. His experience shows that he is well versed with this job. As per his CV, I can see he went for diploma and degree courses up to PhD level, all meant to upgrade his knowledge in conflict resolution and diplomacy. He will be an asset to Somalia. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I support this Motion because Somalia has suffered for the past 25 years. He is the right person, if he will put all his efforts there. I hope that he has not asked for this job, and that he will serve the people. Somalis have been known for being entrepreneurial. The nominee is known for industrialisation at some point in time. I think there will be some value addition. I am so much interested in this Motion because, we, from Mandera County, border Somalia. If peace is found there, it will be good for the people of Mandera and Kenya ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I beg to support the Motion. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 17 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I want to condemn the actions by the terrorists where last Friday they attacked our governor. That has been the fifth time. It is now risky. Our governor’s life is at risk and I do not see a lot of commitment from the national Government. The security apparatus are in Mandera. They were deployed there but they are not seriously doing their work. Are they waiting for the governor to pass on so that they get serious? This is of national importance. Al Shabaab are so many at the ... view
