• 17 Feb 2016 in National Assembly: There is no need to set up an office in an area where there is no drought whereas you have areas that experience drought throughout the year. Therefore, there is need for that Authority to manage drought. It is also important for my colleagues to note that during the drought season, due to scarcity of water and pasture, livestock owners have to move with their animals in search of these resources to the extent that they even move to places like Mt. Kenya region where water flows throughout the year, but due to the cold weather, many animals die. You ... view
• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you so much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to support this Motion. I want to comment on two areas, namely civil and political rights. view

• 2 Dec 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I just want to comment on civil and political rights. Article 26(1) of the Constitution guarantees the right to life. The right to liberty and security of every person is also guaranteed. Just as Hon. Chachu has said, those of us who come from pastoral areas have witnessed very bad situations of insecurity associated with cattle rustling. Through cattle rustling people have lost their lives. Others have been injured and spent a lot of funds on medical treatment. Others are displaced and their children’s education is disrupted, and others lose their livelihoods once their ... view
• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I thank the Mover for donating one minute to me. I just want to touch on the national examinations. This is my appeal to the Committee; our system of education is exam-oriented to the extent that unless a child passes examinations at every given stage, one may not be able to pursue education to the highest limit.

• 18 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: It is important for personnel in the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology to be facilitated by the Ministry and TSC to ensure that they inspect and assist teachers. I appeal to the Departmental Committee on Education, Research and Technology to demand from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology that every sub-county education officer is given transport so that he or she can operate freely. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to speak to this Motion. First, I would like to thank the Mover for the well thought-out and timely Motion. I am touched by the part which says:- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: “…concerned that many lives continue to be lost due to lack of adequate emergency healthcare and poor response to emergencies in the country; noting that only 13 per cent of public health facilities in the country have basic components to support emergency cases---” This is a matter of concern to all of us. It is a confirmation that many of our health facilities are underequipped. In my view, the starting point, just as my colleagues have said and I agree with them, is to ensure that all health facilities regardless of their status - whether it is a health centre, ... view
• 11 Nov 2015 in National Assembly: Finally, the situation of emergencies is really acute in pastoral areas. We know the life of the pastoralists. They move with their livestock in search of resources such as water and pasture. They go to places where there is scarcity of water. Sometimes they are forced to dig shallow wells underneath dry river beds to get water for their animals and for their consumption. Since this water is not clean they end up getting diseases such as diarrhoea, dysentery and even cholera. It is important that the Government, and more so the Ministry of Health, puts in place proper mechanisms ... view
