• 6 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to oppose this Bill in totality. view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this noble Bill. On the outset, I want to thank the Mover for coming up with the Motion. The provision for the Equalisation Fund in our Constitution is a noble idea. The framers of our Constitution have done very well. What I want to say is that it is a bit too little too late, but that will be a Motion for another day. However, this is an effort in the right direction. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the level of development disparities in some parts of this country, which ... view
• 5 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: What is happening at the constituency level should be emulated. Therefore, since the CDF has so far stood the test of time, it is important that we put the Equalisation Fund under the constituencies. With less than 5 per cent as overheads and administration costs, 95 per cent will go to development straightaway. Our counties are having teething problems. Therefore, it would not be fair to load them with this amount of money and additional responsibilities. We want to take this money directly to the constituencies, which have the capacity and ability to successfully use it for the development of ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a Statement on an alleged relationship between myself and Mr. Mohamed Ahmed, one of the suspects in the murder of the Venezuela envoy to Kenya, Olga Foncesa. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to make a Personal Statement pursuant to the Standing Order No.85. My attention has been drawn to a news item appearing on page 6 of DailyNation newspaper and on page 4 of the Star newspaper today, Tuesday, 3rd December, 2013, where allegations have been made to the effect that a suspect in the murder trial arising from the murder of the ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I think my friend, the Senator for Migori is a very forgetful person because when he rose to speak about this issue we had already set up a programme which we wanted to work on. I wanted us to address the agenda that we had. If he can recall, at the end, this matter was discussed and I personally told the Commissioner of Police that if he is not aware, his deputies are not aware and everybody else is not aware, then that is not acceptable. Somebody should take the blame and apologize. So my brother ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we really have to go by the ruling you are going to make. I anticipate that you have already made up your mind that this Bill is properly before this House. I want to ask my colleague who has come up with this Motion that we conserve our energy and time so that we contribute to this Bill. If it does not fit what we are asking for, then we amend it to provide us with what is good and will help this nation. I do not see any reason as to why anybody would want ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion and, at the same time, the Mover of the anticipated Bill. As a nation we value wildlife so much because it earns us foreign exchange. It is, however, high time we struck a balance between human beings and wildlife. The animals should not only be conserved for tourism but also for our generations to come. It is only that way that our offspring will see lions and elephants. The current human-wildlife conflict is going to wipe out the wildlife and ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker, this Motion addresses more Mount Kenya issues, but the issues that have been so far raised affect the whole country. The Bill will be in a position to reflect this matter broadly. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: In my constituency, we have a national park that was gazetted in 1989, but the development of it has taken a while; reason being conflict in the area and so on. One other reason that has seen the under-development of that national park is the human- wildlife conflict. The issue of compensation for life lost, animals mauled and crops damaged is a big issue. People are normally arrested for trespassing into the parks. With the coming of this Bill, we are happy as a county that this will be put to rest and the pace at which we will develop ... view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker, Sir. I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for the Statement that he has given. I want to say that in the Statement, the Leader of Majority Party said that those are known drug barons. Those people have lived in this country, carried on with their business and have been feted for quite a number of years. I want the Leader of Majority Party to tell the House whether it was at the insistence--- Was it because the President said that we were going to fight drugs and drug barons in this country that ... view
