• 1 Dec 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I withdraw on that part but I am prepared to bring a substantive Motion here about this especially on the one talking here. He was there and he knows what he did. I just wanted to show or tell this House and Kenyans that the poor Kenyan is suffering all over and we have seen it from this Report and others. I am asking, especially the Jubilee Government where I am now serving, to do what their Members have mentioned about CSs of Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MOEST) and others. I have ... view
• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will be brief because I also want to hear from my colleagues on how we can improve handling of this menace. I want to thank the Committee although at one time we had to exchange with the Chair when he went to my constituency without informing me. I know they are doing good things. But because it is not only to find how cattle rustling is being carried out, you need also to know the cause. Why are these people doing this? Nobody would wish to go and steal from a neighbour. Nobody ... view

• 22 Nov 2016 in National Assembly: Let us look at the root cause. The Sessional Paper No. 10 of 1965 is where marginalisation started. Members who were sitting the way we are sitting decided that areas that could not produce coffee and tea would not be given finances to develop them. You have to take that path. Most of these areas where you hear cattle rustling going on are the people who suffered, like West Pokot was a closed district during the colonial time and when we got Independence it continued up to when Kibaki came in. That is when we saw life. And the current ... view

• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for also giving me this chance to add my voice on this very important issue of chaplains. My colleagues have touched a lot on the issue of chaplains. When we talk about chaplains, we are not only concentrating on children but also adults like teachers, people who are working within institutions and even the neighbouring community. During prayers, these people can go and learn the word of God. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, you have seen schools that are doing well like Moi High School Kabarak, Precious Blood, Alliance and Starehe Boys’ Centre. ... view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: always talk, but putting it into practice is a different thing altogether. Look at how we conduct ourselves in this House. We are here as Members because we were elected by people, but we do not respect and honour the institutions that are created by the Constitution. I had a rough time today at Parliament gate. The police who are supposed to be in charge of our security are no longer in charge. There are people at the gate who I do not know how they got there. Those people can say what they want. My vehicle was smashed and ... view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues, first and foremost, in congratulating the Hon. Senator who introduced this Bill in the Senate, and now it is here with us. We are dealing with a sophisticated thing. The ECDE is the foundation for children to grow socially and be directed spiritually and academically. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: I am a teacher by profession and my worry is that, as we discuss Bills sometimes, it becomes like a talking show where we discuss and leave them without implementation. I hope whatever will come out of this debate is going to be followed and implemented so that children can benefit. As a result, we will have more educated people in the future than the ones that we have now. view
• 11 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: When they were preparing this Bill, they did not cover areas that have been marginalised for a long time like West Pokot where I come from, which was a closed district. Most of those ECDEs were run by pastors of a church with knowledge in Kiswahili. Sometimes, they would bring those children together and make them sing from morning until the time they returned to their homes. We have to change that. I am grateful that the devolution set-up in this country has helped those areas. I also thank the county governments of West Pokot and those of Turkana and ... view
