• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. I rise to support it though I am to some extent a bit disappointed by the reduction of budgets of projects which are of national interest. This will not only affect the economic development of the country but will also affect the realisation of Vision 2030. The reduction of the budget for these projects from Kshs79 billion to Kshs71 billion is a point; it is of concern to this country. We should be moving forward in our Budgets so as to give us ... view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: allocated to the NYS should have been shared out to the National Social Safety Net, the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and the Affirmative Action Social Development Fund to avoid further misuse of public funds. view
• 24 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: I do not understand why the statutory allocations that I have mentioned should be reduced from Kshs37 billion to Kshs36 million, especially noting that a fund like the CDF is the only devolved fund that has produced results in the respective constituencies. The allocation to this Fund ought to have been increased instead of being reduced. I also appreciate the proponents of the Division of Revenue Bill for having considered including the Equalisation Fund (EF) in this Budget. This is a Fund which has been created by the Constitution of Kenya, 2010 yet these funds have not been utilised to ... view
• 17 Mar 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for giving me an opportunity. I support the amendment. Last year, we lost lives that would have been saved. We had an example of a man who was involved in an accident and had to wait for 18 hours without treatment. He eventually succumbed to injuries and died. We also had a lady who did not get the required treatment. It is reasonable that as the leadership, we create such a Fund to take care of emergencies. Anybody can be involved in an accident.

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this Motion for so many reasons. One, a lot of times services that have been taken closer to constituencies have proved to serve citizens of this country better. I represent Kacheliba Constituency in West Pokot County. West Pokot happens to be the largest consumer of blood in the blood bank in our referral hospital in Eldoret. Of all the beneficiaries of the blood bank, majority come from my constituency. It is for this reason that I deem it fit that we take these services closer ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you. I will endeavour to shorten my contribution. Since Independence, some places have gained more than others. It is for this reason that at this time we need to distribute our resources equitably to every region. That is why I support the Mover of this Motion so that every region is served well. Thank you.

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. This is a matter of national importance. As you are aware, security overrides all other human needs. Going by Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs theory, security is very important. You can afford to miss other things but you must be secure. A lot of Motions for Adjournment have been raised in this House. I am sure that many of the deliberations we have made are gathering dust on shelves in our government offices, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: simply because this Government does not take the issue of insecurity in pastoral areas very serious. In fact, there is this notion that it is normal for pastoralists to fight. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are aware that the state of insecurity is wanting in the whole country. We have witnessed our own members losing lives. People tend to react a bit when people fight or when people are killed in urban areas. However, I am sure that we also lose our people in pastoralist areas every day and especially in Kacheliba where I come from. We have so many ... view
