• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to thank you for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this amendment.

• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The amendment is seeking to lower the limit, so that more political parties can access funds from the Treasury. This is the correct thing to do because during electioneering, the bigger parties collect more money and many people cannot pay that kind of money. So, people end up going to smaller political parties. This causes marginalisation of smaller parties. I support this amendment because in every election, we have proliferation of parties. The parties that are getting funds today might be the ones that will get it tomorrow. The political parties that are getting funding should not see this amendment ... view
• 1 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to assure even the big political parties that this amendment is good for us. It is not in favour of anybody. Tomorrow, they could be the smaller parties that will require this affirmative action. With those few remarks, I support this amendment. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Report. I want to state that I do support the nomination of Major General (Rtd) Lukas Tumbo for the position of ambassador to Somalia. Much has been said about this topic today but I wanted to say something about refugees because I represent Dadaad Constituency which hosts thousands of refugees of Somali origin. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker I will do so. We have about 400,000 refugees in Dadaab Constituency who are mainly from Somalia. In the year 2014, we had the tripartite agreement between Kenya, Somalia and the United Nations (UN) on repatriation of Somali refugees to Somalia. However, this agreement has not moved because almost all the refugees are still there and I believe that the office of the ambassador can do a lot to ensure the implementation of the tripartite agreement. I say this because the current office of the ambassador to Somalia, as has been said, is at NSSF ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: I will come to the point, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, sorry. For us to ensure that refugees go back to Somalia, the office of the ambassador to Somalia is one of the entry points to help us. We need the Government of Somalia to realise that there is need for them to move. When we are based here in Nairobi we will not be able to engage with the Government of Somalia meaningfully. We have been The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: feeling that there is a bit of laxity on the part of the Government of Somalia to take back the refugees. The refugees have been a huge burden to us as a country and we need to help the Government of Somalia to lobby a platform of resources for them through our ambassador. With those many remarks, I support the Motion. Thank you very much. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady.

• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Prisoners can come out of prison when they have skills that can earn them a livelihood. I also support the need to give them financial support to start some occupation after prison. Thank you. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the Report. From the outset, the security situation of this country has been deteriorating for the last few months. First, I want to send my sincere condolences to the many Kenyans who have lost their lives in various security incidences, including the ones at Mandera and Kapedo. Basically, the security challenges facing this country can be classified into three categories. One is the Al Shabaab or terror related security challenge, cattle rustling and normal ordinary crimes that happen ordinarily. The biggest threat to this country is ... view
