• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this Motion. The coconut crop has multiple use. It is a versatile product. It is a tree that has numerous usages for the individuals who are farming along the coastal region. One thing we have realised over the years is that this crop has given a product for hair, food, thatches for roofing and firewood. Due to its multiple use, it is an efficient tree that can be utilised by the people in the coastal region. This crop has not been utilised and exploited over the years. ... view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: In terms of the economic output of this, Kshs3.2billion can contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) of this country. However, it has not been exploited to realise its full potential. It can fetch about Kshs13 billion shillings which is much for this country. Because of its use, the people of the coastal region can pay school fees for their children and take care of their livelihoods. It is a crop that needs to be supported. view
• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: However, it has been clear over the years that it has not been given emphasis as required like any other cash crop such as tea and coffee. These have been recognised as cash crops. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 15 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Consequently, the coconut has not been given the same attention. We urge the Government to apportion specific funding to uplift the people of the coastal region so that they can cultivate this crop which requires minimal attention despite its multiple uses. It has multiple uses but it requires minimal attention. It is for that matter that we encourage the Government of Kenya to put its foot down and alleviate the predicament of the people of the Coast region, particularly the people of Kilifi. I happen to have worked with the National Drought Management Authority (NDMA) as a director during the ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance to give my contributions on the setting up of trauma centres. Gender-based violence is a common phenomenon that cuts across all boundaries, be it geographical, racial or religious. It has affected all societies that Kenya is comprised of. The perpetrators include people we know. Parents and caretakers are included. Even law enforcers have not been spared in terms of the ability to meet those kinds of challenges. One thing we have realised is that the vulnerable, in terms of the percentages that we have, is that nearly 70 per cent ... view
• 8 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: One thing we have realised over the past few years is that society has resorted to gender- based violence. This violence is happening in our homes and every other place. We are not able to do much audit in terms of trying to give counselling and attention to the affected individuals. One thing I have realised in my constituency is that young girls have been affected and have nowhere to run to. The law is not giving them justice. We have realised that immediately they are taken to the police, the kind of interrogation they undergo is so thorough that ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to give a recommendation on Stephen Kirogo for the position of the Chairman of the PSC. I have known Stephen Kirogo for many years when he was in the public service. He started as a cadet District Officer. He has served in my county of Wajir. He particularly served in Wajir East Constituency as a DO. I have seen him rise through the public service for many years until he rose to the rank of the head of the State Corporations Advisory Committee. He was able to provide advisory service. I ... view
• 2 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Finally, when he came to the Office of the President to provide services to the Head of Public Service, his performance was exemplary. I stand here to attest the performance of Stephen Kirogo. Thank you. view
• 5 Jul 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on extrajudicial killing in Wajir County. Four persons were picked up by security officers from their shops in Konton and Khorof Harara areas in ongoing operations in Tarbaj and Wajir East sub counties. Recently, in the last week of June 2018, two bodies were found in a shallow grave by herders. Among the four persons picked and identified are Adan Dabra Abdi and Abdi Jimalle. The whereabouts of the two other missing residents namely Mr. ... view
