• 17 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Assistant Minister should not avoid the question. If the monitoring strategy that he is using was effective, how come there was violence after the 2007 general elections? What guarantee is he giving us that the same is not going to be repeated in the forth coming general elections? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if the cause of conflict between the two communities is about boundaries, what plans does your Ministry have to forestall future clashes between the two communities? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to suggest to the House that we allocate more funds to the Ministry of Energy when we know that the Ministry gets a budget allocation every financial year? I would like to know whether he is aware that there is inadequate supply of transformers in most parts of the country, and particularly in Samburu East, where they have installed electricity. Could he tell us what he is doing, instead of asking us to vote more funds for the Ministry? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Given that the rest of us have not had an opportunity to contribute to this important Motion, and we have got very important issues that we need to raise to which the Front Bench has to respond, is it in order for the Minister to respond before we exhaust the contributions by the Back Bench? view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion. I also want to join my colleagues in commending His Excellency the President for the wonderful Speech that he made. It was elaborate and touched on many issues. In particularly, I really want to commend the Government for the development programmes and projects that have been initiated. This is more so on infrastructural development. Just as my colleague, hon. M.M. Ali, the Member for Moyale has said it is for the first time that those of us from northern Kenya have been ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I only want to appeal, because this was a promise that was given to the residents of Samburu East, that the Road C79 which is about 50 kilometres from the highway to Wamba be tarmacked considering that Isiolo is slated to be a resort city and the Samburu East District which is its neighbor certainly will also be able to spur economic development if that road is tarmacked. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to appreciate the programmes undertaken by the Government particularly the concept of Free Primary Education (FPE) and this is a programme that is really successful given that by 2003, 5.2 million pupils will have been enrolled in our primary schools. After the initiation of this progamme by the year 2007, we have got 10 million pupils who are now enjoying this programme. So, it is really a success but I also want to put a rider that we have noted that some development partners have withdrawn their support due to misappropriation in ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: I also want to commend the Government for the initiative they have taken in drought mitigation and this is specifically for those of us who come from Arid and Semi- Arid Lands (ASALs). We have seen the maintenance of boreholes, the distribution of water tanks to schools and also to communities and at least this has helped the communities during the dry season. We also applaud the Government for the initiative they have taken in livestock off take because normally during drought we lose a lot of livestock. The initiative which the Government has undertaken to buy off animals when ... view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the provision of education and health facilities and fresh produce markets through the Economic Stimulus Programme (ESP) is also one commendable thing that the Government has done but I would like to say that work on these projects both medical and educational facilities which were given to every constituency and even the fresh produce markets have stalled. We would like to appeal to the Government that they avail funds to ensure that these projects are completed. view
• 16 May 2012 in National Assembly: Having said all the good things that the Government has done, I must equally pinpoint some shortcomings of this Government. In his Speech, His Excellency the President impressed upon Kenyans to embrace national values as enshrined in the Constitution which include national unity, the rule of law, social justice et cetera. But I think the Government must be seen to demonstrate this by upholding the rule of law. The year 2009 is one that cannot disappear in the history of Samburu when the Government carried out a security operation in Samburu East which they did selectively because they wanted to ... view
