• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir for giving me a chance to support this Motion. But before I make any contribution I wish to pass my sincere sympathy and condolences to the family of the late Ibrahim Ochoi who was a contestant in the South Mugirango by-election. I send my condolences on behalf of the people of South Mugirango to the family of the late Ochoi, especially the wife. He has left a small family. I want to take this chance to thank the ODM party. They actually conceded defeat graciously and hon. Ochoi, the deceased now, conceded that I ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: This nation has passed the new Constitution. I am happy to associate myself with the Members of Parliament who passed this new Constitution but I feel we need to do more on this Constitution. People need to be informed so that even those who did not support this document can feel better and well represented. They must know that this Constitution is going to apply to all of us in equal measure. So, I am appealing to the Government to make every effort to reach the elders in the villages--- Nowadays, we are not doing campaigns. We should say what ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, having said that, let me say that we have gone through the census. We have seen the results and one thing that I want to say is that any society where you find more men in data, the population for that society will decline. Population growth comes when there are more female and not men; statistically. So, there is something wrong with those statistics. When you see the analysis and data, you cannot have more men and an increase in population. So there is something which needs to be looked at to see what needs to ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I also want to say that I am glad we are going on recess. We won the by-election when Parliament was going on. After I joined, we went for the Referendum and so I have not had a chance to be with the people of South Mugirango. So this time, I will get more time to be with them and work with them, especially on the issue of allocating Constituencies Development Fund (CDF). We have some money and I am going to work with them and agree on the projects which we can do during the recess. But again, what ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, what I am saying is that, as we go for recess, we need to preach unity and bring understanding as a nation. I have seen the Budget which was read in this Parliament. We supported it and passed it. People have said that North Eastern and Eastern regions have been ignored. When you look at the entire Budget, the people of South Mugirango have been ignored, If you look at the amount allocated to them, it is less than Kshs100,000 in the entire Budget amounting to billions of shillings. That basically means that, whether there is ... view
• 1 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 31 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Minister has referred to a powerful country in the Security Council which has been pressurizing Kenya to avoid having its nationals arrested for whatever reasons. Could he clarify to the House which is that powerful country which has been pressurizing Kenya? view
• 26 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Motion. The first point I want to make is that the Motion is very clear. The Leader of Government Business is a Christian and he knows that on Saturday 28th is a Seventh Day Adventist day. The new Constitution is very clear. It protects us as Christians and I urge the Leader of Government Business to look at the welfare of Christians. Apart from it not being the right day for the new Constitution, it violates the day of worship for the Seventh Day Adventists. I ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Motion. First I want to thank the Committee for the time they took to prepare the report. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, all communities have been engaging in cattle rustling. What has made some communities change is the economic activities that view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: they engage in. Some people have adopted farming to earn a living. These particular communities have been neglected by the Government. Nothing goes to these areas to empower the communities to do other economic activities. This has been the case from the time of Independence to date. We have police posts in an area where everybody knows there is insecurity. I would urge the Government to have a marshal plan for North Eastern Province and other areas which have been neglected so that resource mobilization is done. The person who steals somebody’s cow in order to earn a living is ... view
