• 26 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: the past 10 years, it has been disastrous in terms of getting livelihoods. The poverty index is very high. The migration has continued to the extent that we are getting people from other countries across the border into this country. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On that note, I support the Report and its contents. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: ​(Dadaab, KANU)​ seconded. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The reason why this Report is on the Floor of this House is because there was a petition that came to Parliament through your office by Hon. Shabbir Shakeel. It was referred to the Departmental Committee on Health. What we are giving, as a Committee, is a Report on that Petition after we met with the consultant, the supervisors of the University of Nairobi, the Ophthalmologists and the Medical Practitioners and Dentists Board. Basically, this is in response to the Petition that was brought to the House through the Office of the Speaker. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this Report. At the outset, I want to oppose it. As a country, we border several countries including Somalia and we are not at war with them. AlShabaab and terrorism are global issues. I am shocked that our Government is thinking of putting up a physical border between us and Somalia while the issue itself is ideological. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: is ideological and cannot be fought through building walls. Somalia is a Member of the African Union (AU) and the Intergovernmental Authority on Development (IGAD), just like our country. We have refugees from Somalia living in Kenya, both in urban places and camps like in my sub-county. We have close to 50,000 Kenyans working in Non- governmental Organisations (NGOs) and the hospitality industry in Somalia. We have air and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: sea link with Somalia. However, I am surprised because the land bordering Somalia is closed and the Government is thinking of putting up a wall. view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I will give you an example of where walls are built globally, like the border between Gaza, other Palestine territories and Israel. The wall is about 680 kilometers long. That border wall costs about US$2 billion to maintain. This Government does not have resources of that magnitude. I cannot understand in my mind, how our Government decided this when we are facing many other challenges. As I have said, Al Shabaab is an ideology and can only be fought through ideological ways. We better invest those resources in building roads and other infrastructure which will address the issue of Al ... view
• 12 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: The continued closure of the Kenya-Somalia border has affected this country adversely. I will give you an example. I hail from Garissa County, Dadaab Sub-county, which borders Somalia directly. Just like my colleagues from Ijara, Fafi, Wajir South and other constituencies bordering Somalia along the four counties - that is Garissa, Wajir, Mandera and Lamu - those counties have suffered because the border between Kenya and Somalia is officially closed.
