• 7 Jun 2017 in National Assembly: There are many landless Kenyans. Many Kenyans are squatters on their own land. When we talk about squatting, this is where people have not been settled properly to enable them enjoy the fruits of their land. The problem of landlessness in Kenya was brought about by white settlers. We are seeing what is happening in Laikipia currently. Let me tell you, as somebody from West Pokot. West Pokot is blacklisted as a dangerous zone by the entire world. The other day, I was at an embassy of a foreign country that was willing to support a certain school in West ... view
• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I thank whoever came up with this Bill for supporting our security forces, especially when they encounter problems. I always consider some departments to be important in our daily lives, especially teachers and police officers. Teachers provide education and police officers provide us with security. We cannot move when there is insecurity. Also, very important in my classification are those who provide health services such as doctors, nurses and other medics. We can do without the remaining disciplines. Those that I have mentioned, and this House as well, are important. Police officers in ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: circumstances. They give us intelligence about our borders, but we do not care about what they do. At night as we are asleep, they are awake. With the passage of this Bill, I know there will be light at the end of the tunnel. I ask those in authority such as the Inspector General (IG) to be of assistance. I do not know why officers who are looking for their dues are made to suffer. They are looking for what is rightfully theirs. The Member of Parliament for Kwanza has said that he knows of an officer who was injured ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: I want to appeal to the Government and especially the departments concerned with security because I know there are some operations going on in Baringo and Laikipia. We said this should be done with a human face. Otherwise, we should not see a repeat of what used to happen before. The new Constitution has changed the way police should work. They should come closer to the people so that they can direct them to where the criminals are hiding. It should not be like before when they used force and it did not help. I come from an area where ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: because one community cannot be favoured over another. They are all Kenyans who were neglected before but the Government is providing them with services through devolution. I was among those who were in the „Yes Campaign‟ when we were making the new Constitution. There were others who did not want to join us, but we know the “Yes” side bore fruit. Let all of us be provided with equal services. It should not be like before when somebody would build a good road or bring electricity up to his or her constituency boundary. That should not happen today. Everybody should ... view
