• 1 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. From the outset, I would like to urge my fellow Senators to support this Motion. Those of us who were in the Eight Parliament knew very well that the national Government was always hesitant to release the CDF money to the constituencies. I remember the late Bonaya Godana told me that he had created 4,000 kilometres of road using the CDF money. When I asked him how, he told me that the engineer on the ground was a local person in the ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, thank you very much for giving me this opportunity. May I also join my colleagues who have spoken before me--- On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Samburu County, I condemn in the strongest terms possible the beastly and senseless act by terrorists. May I also congratulate our political leaders--- view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I want to thank our political leaders for the stand they have taken over this matter. I was very happy when I saw President Uhuru Kenyatta, hon. Raila Odinga, hon. Musalia Mudavadi and Sen. Wetangula appealing to Kenyans to be united in this particular moment of grief.

• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: here. I almost shed tears when I saw innocent people die and get injured. These terrorists are all over the world. Some are from Peru, Ghana and all over the world. These people were killed by terrorists. These terrorists did not come from heaven; they must have passed through our borders. They came all the way to their soft target. We must ask ourselves as Kenyans: What happened? Why did we allow these people to penetrate us until they reached the heart of our city? I am at a total loss. We must be vigilant. If all Kenyans were vigilant, ... view
• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, we must start educating our people to be vigilant. We should be as vigilant as Tanzanians. When you go to Tanzania, even in the village, the authorities will know you are there. I have been in Switzerland and it is also like that. When you go there, they will know that a visitor is in the town and they will notify the police. Kenyans should be vigilant. They should be educated and knowledgeable about these terrorists. They must have passed through our borders and through Eastleigh, Pangani, Parklands and Westlands. Maybe they might even have been living ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. I would like to thank Sen. (Prof.) Lonyangapuo who comes from an area where police reservists or the home guards are doing a marvelous job to protect Kenyan citizens. The Baragoi incident is still very fresh in our minds, where we lost more than 20 police reservists from Samburu. These young warriors do a marvelous job to protect our people and our property. I would like to borrow a leaf from what Sen. Kajwang said; that we must come up with legislation to give these people training and remuneration, engagement and compensation because they do ... view
• 15 May 2013 in Senate: Thank you Madam Temporary Speaker. First and foremost, I would like to support this Motion and to urge all Senators to support it because without proper infrastructure in our counties, we cannot move an inch in matters of development.

• 23 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to contribute to this Presidential Speech. First and foremost, I would like to thank the people of Samburu for having elected me to the Senate. Secondly, I would like to thank the people of Kenya who have peacefully elected all of you and elected President Uhuru Kenyatta and his Deputy, Mr. William Ruto, to guide us for another five years. Thirdly, I would like to thank the people of Lagdera for having elected Mr. Mohamed Shidiye and also the people of Kamukunji for electing Mr. Yussuf Hassan. I also thank ... view
• 17 Apr 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to say a few words. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am a bit confused because having read this Motion, it wants us to adjourn in order to attend the opening of county assemblies. Some of us come from very far and also the roads that go to Samburu are in bad shape now since the rains have come and yet, you want us to adjourn in order to attend county assemblies tomorrow. There must be something missing between you and the speakers of the county assemblies. I stand to be corrected. ... view
• 12 Sep 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.
