• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. Isiolo was among the worst hit counties by locust invasion. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Government, through the Ministry of Agriculture, for the intervention. I must admit that for three to four days, a plane was in Isiolo spraying the affected areas. However, it was a very anxious moment for the people of Isiolo when we first saw an army of locusts. I want to take this opportunity to thank the youth and the women of Isiolo County for taking ... view
• 18 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Therefore, I urge the Government to be prepared. I got scared when I listened to the Cabinet Secretary for Agriculture when he said that the yellow locusts are the old ones and are not as dangerous as the young ones. As many colleagues have said, what are we doing about the eggs that were laid in north eastern Kenya? I would not want to wish anybody bad things, but initially, we thought it was a north eastern problem. We were worried because there is normally slow intervention on issues affecting the northern part of the country. Now that there is ... view

• 10 Feb 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. On my behalf, on behalf of the great people of Isiolo and the entire upper eastern, namely, Marsabit and Moyale, I send my condolences to the family of the late President Mzee Moi and the entire country. Having been a beneficiary of the Moi Government, I would have had a lot to say. However, I will just say three things. First, the President understood the dynamics and the diversities of this country and he embraced them. He ensured that both minority and majority were included in his Government. He was very kind hearted. He was a ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also contribute to this Motion. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mheshimiwa Alfred Keter for bringing this Motion. I also want to join the Members in congratulating Mr. Eliud Kipchoge and Brigid Kosgei. That Saturday will remain in the minds of Kenyans for many years to come unless other people come up and break those records. I was a proud Kenyan to have watched that event live. However, I am a bit demotivated because I cannot understand why it had to be a foreigner, Mr. ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: event for Mr. Eliud Kipchoge. Could the government not have thought of doing it? On that note, I want to really appreciate the sponsor for his kind heart and generosity. view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, secondly, I would like to congratulate the many sponsors, especially the private ones like Safaricom and Nandi County that contributed in one way or the other. Going forward, I urge the private sector in this country to borrow a leaf from Mr. Jim Ratcliffe so that the many talents that we have in this country do not go to waste. I urge the media houses to visit the camps in Eldoret and Iten so that the athletes can get motivated. I know they are there. We have so many other athletes like Eliud Kipchoge who can ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: I expected to hear more appreciation from the Ministry of Sports, Culture and Heritage. This is a young man who proved that, indeed, a human being can do anything beyond any limit. I was even expecting to enjoy a holiday on Monday in his honour. What am I trying to say? We really need to go an extra mile and appreciate these people. I know Hon. Speaker told us in the afternoon to read Article 210 of the Constitution before we talk about tax exemption. I read how other countries appreciate their athletes and talents by giving tax exemptions to ... view
• 15 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: With those remarks, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support the Motion. view
