• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The other theme that is very consistent in all these Motions is lack of due diligence. In this Motion, I do not even want to call it due diligence because it is a case of negligence. Due diligence was done. It is clear that the salinity of the waters caused the salt poisoning of the rhinos. This is what led to the death of the rhinos that are endangered in this country. If you watched news in the last few days, it was very disheartening to see that one of the greatest tourist attractions in Kenya is under threat because ... view
• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is part of age catching up with me. You can see we do a lot of those things because of negligence and impunity because we know that nobody will hold us to account. What we are relying on is the ability of Kenyans to raise issues on social media. It is like the social media has become a form of governance in this country. I want to say a fourth thing before I say what we need to do. view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: The other thing is the lure of money. We have been told here that the World Wide Fund for Nature had given out funds that some people were eager to put their hands to. Because of that, we are willing to sacrifice 11 black rhinos, so that we can find a way of putting our fingers to this money. As a country, we must learn to say no. If we have been given funds and yet we find that what they are supposed to do will not be beneficial to us, as a country, we must say no because this ... view

• 10 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: As I have said, it is not a question of whether we have laws in this country. In this case, the laws are there. The previous board warned against the movement and made very serious observations that would affect the rhinos. However, it was completely ignored. If you look at Paragraph 10 of the Report, I hope I will get it right, it says: “Although there were officers who were suspended as a result of the death of the 11 rhinos, the senior officers who presided over the botched exercise were still serving in the service without much reprimand for ... view

• 8 Sep 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I wish all the Members a happy Session as we get back. Hon. Speaker, I agree with Hon. Ichung’wah, my former Chairman of the Budget and Appropriations Committee where he performed very well. I am now seeing that he is planning to perform as opposition very well. Having said that, in relation to the Private Members’ Bills, I agree with him on the issues he has raised that the composition of this Parliament is very unique and different from the previous Parliament. I have said it before and will repeat now ... view
