• 9 Jun 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance. I take this opportunity to thank you greatly for the leadership you have provided to this House for the last two terms. I understand that your background is law. I really have admired your great understanding of the Standing Orders, the Constitution and the laws of this country. Bravo for that and you have actually done your work excellently beyond everybody’s expectation. Secondly, I also thank my constituency, Dadaab, for giving me a chance to serve them for two terms. It is on record that actually that community has ... view
• 31 May 2022 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. Since the onset of devolution, many businessmen and suppliers at the county level and also at the national level have been impoverished. The citizens of this country who are in business are major taxpayers. If they are grounded because of non-payment for services or goods delivered, they cease to be taxpayers hence it affects our economy grossly. I think it is very important we have a law in place to compel all levels of Government—whether national or county, or State corporations—to pay ... view

• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. First, I want to thank Hon. Aden Duale for bringing this Motion of Adjournment.

• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: A month ago, the Government of Kenya led by our President, declared drought a national disaster. What does it mean when we say that drought is a national disaster? The people in Northern Kenya depend on livestock for their livelihoods. When people have problems with feeding their animals, they also become vulnerable, because they will not have food. What this means is that today in that area, there is literally starvation, serious malnutrition, death of livestock and wild animals. If we do nothing about the situation, people will soon start dying. It is the responsibility of the Government to protect ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let me just inform my colleague... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: Yes. I want to inform the Majority Whip that we have an allocation in the NG-CDF for emergencies. If you understand what emergency means, then you know that drought can also be classified under that. That money can be used in water trapping and carrying out projects that can help alleviate the situation. However, let me proceed with my point, because I do not want to dwell on that, as it is going to deflect my attention from what I wanted to say. We wanted our Government to appeal to the international donor community and the United Nations (UN) agencies ... view
• 12 Oct 2021 in National Assembly: I just want to correct a perception that has been created by some Members who have just spoken. They have given some funny names to some of the forthcoming political parties, but I want to appeal to everyone to respect other people’s opinion. We should not be petty and parochial and forget about the bigger issues. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. view
