• 18 Apr 2018 in National Assembly: requires a journey of one-and-a-half days to get to the county headquarters to get registration services. The birth certificates cost Kshs150 but the cost of coming from 700 kilometres is about Kshs4,000. Therefore, it is a burden to already burdened citizens of my county. Again, when one registrar is required to be in charge of a vast area like North Horr in Marsabit County, which requires a journey of seven days to complete, you can imagine the challenge parents are going through. Another challenge that we have is with regard to ICT. Most rural areas do not have the infrastructure. ... view
• 21 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am honored to be given this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion which is very emotive and very personal to some of us. From the outset, I want to take this opportunity to condole the families of those who were affected by the Wajir killing. Equally, I want to take this opportunity to condole with the people of Isiolo County. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, on Sunday, we lost one person at a place called Gotu over the same sort of killing and thus I condole with the entire family. Having said that, ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I also take this opportunity to thank the Mover of the important Motion. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me from my male colleagues. They like intimidating women. I appreciate. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: I thank the Mover of this important Motion which seeks to make tree planning compulsory. Of course, environmental protection is important to our lives. This is not the first time this initiative has been started. When I was growing up in the early 1980s, I remember the famous slogan by the former President of the Republic of Kenya, Daniel Toroitich Arab Moi, view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: It used to be taken as a joke in our community because saying kupanda miti meant climbing trees. He was very popular. Because of that, to date, most of our very dry remote areas The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: still enjoy some level of forest cover. I am very saddened that, that initiative many years down the road has not borne the kind of fruits we would have wanted to see. It is for that reason I passionately rose to support this Motion. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: Afforestation or tree planting is the effort of planting a tree on a barren land so as to create a forest. Our earth has constantly been trying to cope with the ways human beings use natural resources such as trees and clearing forest land for development has been given undue attention compared to the importance trees bring to our lives. Cutting down trees has led to contamination of air, land and water. It has polluted the environment which has resulted to global warming. The impact of global warming cannot be over-emphasised. It affects our ecosystem, our water resources, has created ... view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The importance of afforestation cannot be over-emphasised. It helps resolve the impact of climate change as I have just explained and prevents soil erosion. It also beautifies the environment. Therefore, I will not only support making it compulsory to plant trees, but we should even go further and think of how to ensure it becomes sustainable. view
• 6 Dec 2017 in National Assembly: The Mover could incorporate the element of incentive as a way of making it sustainable. I remember during the Moi days when we were in school, if you planted a tree and it grew, you would be given more Nyayo milk than other pupils. Households which planted enough trees used to get more relief food than other families. Those are some of the very good measures that worked. That is what we miss at the moment. As I conclude, I want to echo the contribution of the Leader of the Majority Party when he says that the departments, especially the ... view
