• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: It is time that the National Police Service recognised these young people and gave them the necessary support to perform their duties to the best of their ability. When I was a Member of Parliament (MP) for Samburu East, I sympathised with most of the reservists; some wore torn clothing and dressed as if they were poachers. This is because they borrowed one part of the uniform from the military, another from the police and the other one from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). One finds it strange when he or she meets them because you would think they are ... view
• 22 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in contributing to the Speech made by His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta on the 6th of October 2014.

• 2 Oct 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When this programme was rolled out by the former President Kibaki, we thought that within five years, this programme would cover the entire population of people who are 65 years and above. First, I would like to congratulate the former President for launching this programme. It is now about seven years or nine years since then. When will the Jubilee Government roll out this programme, so that each and every person in Turkana, Samburu, Mandera, Mombasa and other counties can benefit? As the Senator for Kuria said, a 40 year old man from Turkana would ... view

• 25 Sep 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I would like to register my voice in congratulating Sen. Ongoro for coming up with this Motion which is long overdue. For those of us who have been in the game of politics for quite some times now, you know we have been talking about these things. I am not like my good old friend Sen. G.G.

We must try and control the digital technology or the new technology we have these ... view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. When the Jubilee Government took over, they promised citizens from those counties which are affected by famine, drought and cattle rustling that cattle rustling and famine will be a thing of the past. It is now the second year for them in power. I would like the Chairperson to tell us why the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries stocks thousands and thousands of bags of cereals in places like Samburu, but when famine arises, we are told the cereals are unfit for human consumption? Could he go back and tell us why they are ... view
• 24 Sep 2014 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. First, I would like to congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani and her Committee for coming up with a very important Motion that affects most of our counties. If this Motion had been brought 20 or 30 years ago, some of our counties like Turkana, Samburu, Marsabit, Isiolo, Wajir, Kwale, Kakamega and Migori would be at par with the rest of the counties like Kiambu, where my good friend who is next to me comes from. They would not be described as arid or semi-arid, ... view
