• 11 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will make the requests tomorrow. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. For the last 50 years, these two communities have been involved in cattle rustling, with militia fighting against militia over the boundary. What is the Government going to do about the boundary in Kainuk, because it is not just an issue of cattle rustling; it is a border issue and the faster they resolve that issue, the better for the two communities living together. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, is the Chairman in order to mislead us by telling us that they have intensified patrols while we know that in West Pokot, Turkana, North Baringo and Samburu North, there are no patrols being undertaken by policemen or the Administration Police (Aps), unless the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) uses choppers? Even yesterday, there were killings. So, is he in order to mislead us that they have intensified patrols when they have not even sent a chopper to that area? view
• 27 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance. I just want to inform Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. that elephants are a blessing. If he does not want those elephants in Makueni County, he should take them to Turkana where you have opened nine conservancies or bring them to my county where I have more than ten conservancies. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. As I read this Motion, I agree entirely with the Mover, up to the counter terrorist activities. I say so, because the President has already been mandated and the Constitution also mandates the National Security Council (NSC), which constitutes of the President, the Deputy President, Cabinet Secretaries in charge of Defence, Foreign Affairs, Interior and co-ordination of National Government, the Attorney General, Chief of Defence Forces, Director General of National Intelligence Service (NIS) and the Inspector- General. It is their ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. You know when it becomes secret issues. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in Senate: I do not want to be so emotional. I do not want to defend ole Lenku, but if today you give him those military uniforms, what will he do alone? There is some disconnect on the ground between our NPS officers, the APs, the regular police, the military and the regional coordinators. I enquired immediately after I heard that the bus was attacked, I know the gentlemen who were running the NIS in that region. I worked with them sometime back in Mandera. During our time, we used to know anything happening in Mogadishu within one hour. What has happened ... view
• 19 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to say a few words about Gerald Otieno Kajwang (GOK). He first came to Parliament when I was the Government Chief Whip. From that day I coined the word “GOK.” He came to Parliament as an Opposition Member of Parliament. I have heard my colleagues talking good about him. However, the one thing that they do not know about the late Sen. Gerald Otieno Kajwang is the bravery that he had when he was a new legislator in Parliament. He was one of the few legislators who could dare bring a censure Motion ... view
• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill has come at an appropriate time. Those of us who come from cattle rustling prone areas value the work of reservists. In other words, we call them home-guards. In places where there are home-guards, incidents of cattle rustling have gone down. Therefore, I support the Bill so that these young people; the reservists, must be compensated, trained properly, well equipped and given the necessary tools to support them. The reservists know the terrain, the suffering that people undergo, the trend where cattle are moved from during the dry and the rainy seasons. They know ... view
