• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is really misleading this House because the incidents he has talked about happened in Isiolo. He has not talked about what I raised, that is, the incidents that took place in Samburu East. I was very specific. I talked about incidents that took place on 30th June, 2009 and 9th August, 2009. This confirms my fears that that the Government is biased in responding to raids that take place in Samburu East. Why was there no response on 30th June, 2009 when three people were killed, two were injured and animals taken away? No ... view
• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is misleading this House.

When will he recover and return those animals? view

• 20 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Vote of the Ministry of Livestock Development.

However, the ASAL areas also have unique characteristics because they experience ... view

• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek your indulgence that since most of us have got our peculiar problems in regard to security issues and considering that there is no time for us to contribute now, I want to request that the Minister for Provincial Administration and Internal Security organizes for an informal meeting, so that we can share with him the problems that we are experiencing. view
• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do agree totally when the Minister says that cattle rustling can be a cause of insecurity. I want to assure him that for those of us who come from pastoral areas, we are going to support him. I really want to appreciate the effort being made by the Minister and his entire staff to combat and eradicate cattle rustling. However, I wish to bring to the attention of the Minister the fact that I am particularly disturbed about the bias and brutality meted out against the Samburu community where they send their security personnel ... view

• 19 Aug 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to say that when you have ten vacant administrative units in one area where, there is no chief or assistant chief, you can imagine the kind of administration in that area. I just want to appeal to the Minister that these ten vacant administrative units be filled. view
