• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join my colleagues in condemning the act which is going on in the mentioned areas and in other parts of Kenya. I also want to condemn the grassroots leadership in these areas. I concur with what Hon. Shebesh said that we cannot be here enjoying the comfort of this House and relaxing when killings are going on in some places.

• 21 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: should not even stay here. They should be on the ground mobilising their people and making peace with them. They make noise and talk about people who are killing each other yet they are eating, relaxing and sleeping here. We were here when the late Michuki took measures to curb the Mungiki . Recently, the leadership of Turkana and Pokot, especially the lower part of West Pokot including Baringo met. This consisted of senators, governors and everybody. We have not depended on other people from that time, until recently when this issue came up. As it is now, it is ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I stand to support this Bill. In fact, mine is just to urge this House to be careful in the Third Reading when making amendments or passing the Bill as it is. This is because Kenya is not where it was before when people were tortured at Nyayo House and other places. It comes at a time when this torture has stopped and Kenyans passed the new Constitution. It is clear when you read the Constitution on how arrests and other issues should be tackled. Of late, I have seen like we are almost going back ... view
• 8 Feb 2017 in National Assembly: Mine is just to caution this House because things will be happening slowly like this. We are not different from other countries like Somalia. We should not allow some things to go beyond our hands because we will not defend ourselves at all. In the new Constitution there is freedom of expression, assembly and association. When people air their grievances or what they want to improve this country and others come in and stop them in a funny way, and they end up losing their lives, this is not good for our country. As we continue discussing this issue, we ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to this important issue. I have seen all the speakers in this House this evening are from the minority groups in Kenya, and all of them are just crying now and then; this is not the first time. I believe communities in Kenya are clustered. There are those ones which are very important and there are the useless, the minute that one cannot even count or think of. Take, for instance, even the campaign for voter registration going on, there are areas where ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: to take there the Nyundo Operation . This is part of the areas where the current CS Nkaissery used to lead: kill, maim and hurt people, but nothing good came out of it. The war was just ongoing. When Kibaki came in he brought Dumisha Amani Operation . This is when he even had to dispatch the military forces which used to harass us left and right; they came there, drilled water and brought medicine. Because some of the military personnel are medical practitioners, they came and treated people. So they brought a close relationship between the military and the ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There are several GSU and Administration Police (AP) officers between my border and that of Trans Nzoia County. We also have the regular police and the ASTU officers. There is nothing those officers are doing apart from competing with the locals in farming. They always go and grab land from others. We have done our part as leaders. Marakwet and Pokot peace caravans have done their part. Now, Hon. Nkaissery should go there and take action. There are police in Marakwet but they are doing nothing. What are the APs and other officers doing ... view
• 25 Jan 2017 in National Assembly: and others tackle the issue, like we have done with the Turkana. You cannot get a Pokot from Kapenguria and Kacheliba fighting the other side. It is us who came out and said enough is enough. I support whoever brought up this matter but other measures should now be taken. view
• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for also giving me this opportunity to add my voice on this issue of land.

• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: I congratulate and thank the Departmental Committee on Lands, especially those who went there. This is the first time I am seeing them give us a sensible Report. I may think otherwise because this Committee - I do not know whether it is the same members or not - came to my place, a place called Chepchoina. I am the one who brought the question here and they came. But, instead of listening to the people, they were bought by the corrupt officials of the Ministry of Lands. Up to date, they still have a big problem there. The reason ... view
