Yesterday, I was involved in other issues in Turkana and several people were asking me where I was yesterday; but here I am today. I am glad that you went through this Bill and you found some things that you do not like; like the powers of the CS. That is good.

• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: As you said, oil will be in other places in Kenya. The people of those communities will require that they be represented as a result of the oil found in their localities.

However, whatever amount of money that we get, we should use it diligently to reduce poverty levels. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: My time is up and this gadget keeps on going off. As a result of that, could I have more time? The time that I have spoken has been wasted because this gadget went on and off. view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: Another important issue is on the environment. I am asking my colleagues to look at it. There are complaints in Turkana about dumping by Tullow Oil in which case--- view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: You see it went off again. Madam Temporary Speaker, another one minute for me, right? view
• 26 Sep 2018 in Senate: There are complaints in Turkana County about the dumping that is being done by Tullow Oil. Many people are complaining about animals dying and people getting sick. It is one other issue that I am asking the Senate Committee on Health to pay attention to. They should also go to Lokichar and see how things are being done. I know there is international law that says that the waste from such oil drilling should be disposed of in a good way and not just be poured everywhere there because people will get sick. view
