• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance also to contribute to this important Motion. I want to emphasise the fact that there is a hunger in Turkana. When you look as the social media, you see a lot of conflicting arguments as to whether people died of hunger or disease or whatever. I want to say there is hunger in Turkana, and people are dying of hunger. Some people have died of hunger, some people may have died of old age or whatever but still there have been people that have died of hunger. The problem in ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, a second problem that came out is locust infestation. I reported this to the county government and national Government. I told them that there were locusts which were consuming every leaf and grass in our county. Animals that these people depend on also feed on grass. It is the grass that make their animals grow fat and provide them with meat when they slaughter them. They get blood and milk from their animals. However, without grass, these animals also starve. Animals have not been reported as dying, but they are also dying. Many of our animals are ... view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: calving camel can feed a family of seven. However, with this breakout, many people lost their camels. Some of them died while they were about to bring forth calves. Others could not even carry their pregnancy to the end because they were emaciated. Again, this denied the people the possibility to have milk and feed their families; another factor in this hunger situation. The last point I want to talk about is the dry spell we are experiencing as a country--- Is my time up? view
• 19 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. In winding up, I want to repeat what the other Senators have said. The problem with us is that we do not plan. When we do not plan, we plan to fail. There have never been any contingency plans to solve problems like these when they occur. So, in future, I hope Turkana County will be able to put enough money in disaster management and address the issue of insecurity. If they do so and such problem occur, intervention will be done mediately. view
• 6 Dec 2018 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Allow me to congratulate Sen. Wambua for bringing this topic to the Floor of this House. As my fellow Senators have said, this is a countrywide problem. It is happening in all counties. As they have emphasised, it is not good to make people work, do projects, complete them then not pay them. People should be paid for their services. It behoves the Senate to get serious on this matter and make sure that counties pay their bills on time. view
