I want to record my thanks to the President‟s Speech although it did not touch on some of the issues I was keenly trying to follow during his Speech including the issue of security. This is the sixth time the people of Kapedo, Lomelo, Kamuge and Napeitom are under siege and no one talks about it. That is why I said I was keen when the President was giving the Speech on the issue of security in this country but nothing was mentioned about it. He talked about the Al Shabaab . He talked about the post-election violence but there ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to make a contribution on this Adjournment Motion. We are not blaming anybody. However, the issue of security has been spoken inside this House, outside there and nothing is coming out. I support what you are saying 100 per cent because we need to come up with a way forward on how we can address this issue. When we talk of the good news of the new Cabinet Secretary as everybody is mentioning, we need to understand that the Cabinet Secretary cannot do this work alone. If the Government ...

Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other issue is that of the vehicles which the Jubilee Government is bragging about every now and then. They are saying that they have given vehicles to the police. Those vehicles are there but vehicles without fuel are useless. They are just packed there at the police stations doing nothing. On the issue of fuel, they have decided that those vehicles can be fuelled using cards. In places like Turkana East where there is no petrol station, the officers drive 230 kilometres to Lokichoggio or Kitale which is 400 kilometres from Lokori to ...

Remember my time was taken by the Temporary Deputy Speaker himself when he was trying to direct me. There is need to give affirmative development action to those areas where people are doing those bad activities so that they can engage in development and leave the bad things they are doing around there. The other issue is that one of opening the Suguta Valley which borders Baringo, Turkana and Samburu counties. If we can open that area of Suguta, this issue of bandits along that area will be a gone case because that is their hideout area. So, we need ...

Just read it the way it is. I wanted to support the Chair on what he said on the issue of naming. When we talk of Turkana, Pokot or Marakwet, it is good to use the names of towns, so that it does not look like we are just talking about tribes. So, it is good to say “Lodwar, Kapenguria” and “Eldoret.”
