• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I want to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for the Statement that he has given. I am one of the people who travelled to Mandera with the Deputy President. What we saw on the ground was pathetic. However, I want to say that the conflict in Mandera County is not something that started last Friday as stated. This has been an on- going problem. It has been there for the last one-and-a-half years. It is because of inability, or lethargy of Government forces to respond to issues that ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Secondly, the latest incident that has been reported was in Banisa which is my constituency. Up to now, we are not able to verify the magnitude of the problem. The security forces have responded to the distress call; they have not gone back; the area is not covered by any network and, therefore, they are not able to go to where they will ascertain the problem is. However, we pray that matters will be better than what has been reported. We want security to be beefed up in those areas, so that there is no retaliation from other communities, which ... view

• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, from the outset, what I want to say is that looking at the Presidential Address and our contributions that started yesterday, we want to start from a very good foundation as the august House; the foundation of freedom of speech. We will be able to tolerate one another in the House and outside. We will engage ourselves and be able to oppose one another on issues and come to a point where we will be able to say:- “Ladies and gentlemen, I do not agree with what you said, but I would support to death your freedom ... view

• 18 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the President’s Speech talked about industrialization. He wants this country to become one of the developed countries. But there is a problem with that because this country has got two levels of development. There is an area where people talk about lack of clean water. It does not have even dirty water. There is an area where people will say: “We have a hospital, but we do not have a mortuary to take care of the dead.” There are areas where people are talking about dispensaries. Now, if you look at northern Kenya, we are in the ... view
