• 3 Dec 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the chance to contribute to this very important Statement by Sen. Mwaruma. I am saddened to hear that other counties are suffering the same fate of Turkana. The reason why Turkana is listed as one of the poorest counties in the country is that despite the fact that we have all sorts of minerals including gold, unfortunately the people do not get anything from those minerals. Sen. Wetangula mentioned about the oil which is being produced in Turkana, which has put Kenya on the map as an oil producing and exporting country. ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I also support the Statement by Sen. Mwaruma. A number of hon. Senators have jumped onto the idea of ignorance. I do not think it really makes sense to call another Senator “ignorant,” because ignorance is not an excuse for what is going on. Kenyans need to know the kind of projects that are being carried out throughout the country. That is a fact. Every Senator needs to know the projects that are being carried in his or her county. I represent Turkana County, so I need to know the projects that are being carried out ... view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we are borrowing a lot of money. The Kshs9 trillion should be distributed among the 47 counties. It makes sense that if I and my children are The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: paying taxes, I and the people of Turkana will have to use that money. However, it is not acceptable for these projects to be concentrated in particular counties, yet the rest of us are paying. This is what Sen. (Dr.) Ali is saying. We need to know the projects that are being carried out in the North, and all counties in the country. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I am I in order to inform the not too ignorant Senator that the SAHEL is way up there in the continent? It is three quarters of Africa. Our counties cannot be counted as part of the SAHEL. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would also like to say something about the Statement by Sen. Olekina. As much as he has asked for the figures from the Government, I agree with Sen. (Dr.) Ali that the recently concluded population census was a sham. There was nothing to tell me about the population of Turkana County. It was badly done! It is like Turkana do not get children, because the numbers are going backwards. The number of people we had 10 years ago when we had census was more than what we have currently. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: In a place like Turkana North Constituency, we have 65,000 people less than we had 10 years ago, which is difficult to believe. The mess starts with whoever makes decisions in this country, based here in Nairobi. Some boys who do not know anything about Turkana, the places and the language, were sent to go and map the areas. They mapped out Lodwar Town and then came back to Nairobi. During the time of census, they went to small sections of the county that they had mapped out and counted people there. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Many of our people live on the mountains, because that is where you find grass for the cattle. There are seven major mountains in Turkana County, but those people were not counted. It is also possible that not everyone was counted in Lodwar Town. How can you trust such figures for the Government to meet people’s demands? In the first place, the information will be based on faulty data. view
• 20 Nov 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, as much as I agree with Sen. Olekina, I just want to point out that the census figures that were given this time around are absolutely not correct. We cannot, therefore, base any correct information on them. view
