• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most of the contributors to this Motion have identified time as a factor in fertilizer distribution. I want to speak on behalf of the people of Narok County. They plant in February and March and most of the times fertilizers are not available. Those regions receive their fertilizers in April and at times in May which is unfortunate for farmers in that particular region. Kenya has potential to use land for food security. We can produce a lot to the point of exporting a surplus. It is important for this House to support this Motion, because ... view

• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. First and foremost, I would like to congratulate Hon. Wakungu for bringing this Motion to the Floor of the House. Fertilizer is a key component in farming. Where I come from, thousands and thousands of acres are under farming, and there are two problems when it comes to farming. One is soil science. I appreciate the Mover of the Motion for saying that some farmers at times cannot even understand whether they use DAP or CAN. It is also important for the Government to make it a policy that every two ... view

• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to join my colleagues from Turkana to say that insecurity in this country has been going on for a long time and it is about time for someone to do something about it. In Narok West Constituency which I represent, for the last six months, my people have been living in fear. Militias from our neigbouring country, Tanzania, have been terrorizing them for the last six months. For example, on 17th September, 2012, a bus ferrying people was stopped and occupants were robbed of Kshs800,000. On 10th October, 2012, a constituent, Lonkoyiok ... view

They were Loruu ole Lepure and Malik ole Lepure. Men and women of that village fought back the militia men with rungus and managed to kill one and recover one AK-47 rifle. view

I want to begin by first of all congratulating you for having been elected Deputy Speaker of this House. Like other colleagues who have spoken before me, I voted for you and I also campaigned for you so thank you for the opportunity. I also want to take this opportunity to sincerely thank the people of Narok West for giving me this opportunity to serve in this House. I will do the best I can to represent them. I want to begin by appreciating the Speech of His Excellency the ... view
• 24 Apr 2013 in National Assembly: The other issue that His Excellency the President talked about is agriculture. I come from a constituency where we grow wheat. I think it is number one in the country. But again, there is a big problem. I totally agree with the President that irrigation and other incentives to farmers will improve our food basket and end food insecurity. But I want to tell His Excellency the President that right now, the farmers in Narok County are suffering because most of them took loans from the Agricultural Finance Corporation (AFC). In that county, I can assure you that, right now, ... view
