• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: This is a very good Motion and I support it right from the outset. I believe it should have been brought to this House and into operation many years ago. We have seen what has happened. We have heard of the Northern Water Collector Tunnel, which I happen to have visited in the last Parliament when I was a Member of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources. The people of Murang’a complained that harvesting of water for the collector tunnel was going to affect them. We are now seeing, for the first time, people of Central Kenya walking ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I would like to specifically talk about the Maasai Mara Basin. The Maasai Mara gets its waters from the Mau Forest. We know that Mau Forest is trust land and part of it is Government land. The worst part is that encroachers have taken over the Maasai Mau Forest through the support of greedy local leaders. There was a task force that declared that the title deeds people held there were invalid. They were cancelled, but because of political expediency or benefit, those people returned to the forest and destroyed it even more. If you fly over the Mau Forest, ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Everybody knows that Maasai Mara is home to the eighth wonder of the world. It, therefore, supports all the hotels in Nairobi and creates employment for many Kenyans all over the country. It is, therefore, wrong for somebody to believe that it only affects the Maasais. It affects the whole world, including the River Nile. It is not possible for the Mara issue to wait for this Motion to be adopted. My appeal to the Government is to get people out of the Maasai Mau if they want Maasai Mara to survive. Please, kick them out! You cannot tell a ... view
• 20 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I support this Sessional Paper, but I appeal that the Maasai Mau be cleansed once and for all. view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to add my voice to this very emotive issue. Killing of cows does not resolve any problem. Killing livestock and diminishing the livelihoods of people does not add any value to any political setting. I would like to tell the pastoralists that when we are fighting and killing one another, other people are taking the opportunity to exploit our resources and taking our opportunities. I think it is time we settle down as communities who thrive or live on livestock and determine our future as one. To say that we have ... view
• 7 Nov 2017 in National Assembly: There is a cartel of greedy people in this country who think you must own all the land in this world for you to be something. I can assure you that people will go to court, argue their case the way the Mau Mau argued, and we shall get what is ours. For any leader to say that we should not talk about this or that, how can we keep quiet when our people are destroyed like wild animals? We cannot keep quiet. One thing I would like to tell the Kenyan Government is that when you kill livestock in ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I think I should first of all commend you, the Clerk and the staff of Parliament for the good work and the support that you have given this Parliament. Through your guidance we have made great laws that have made lives of Kenyans much better than before. You did a good job and I think we should commend you. I would also like to urge all leaders and all Kenyans that this country belongs to all of us. It is our duty to ensure that we protect this country and its citizens. I believe we should ... view
• 15 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Chairman. I also want to support this amendment. I think it will be the most appropriate way to elect Chairs and Vice-Chairs. When we were appointing Chairmen and Vice-Chairmen, we were told those are the people nominated by the party leaders. This is the most democratic way and I support it. view
