29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to thank the Members for their participation. For the first time, you will find that districts that were marginalised are now benefitting. My request is that those who are in charge of monitoring and evaluating the happenings at the county level should put in more effort. We should not allow people to cry every year that this governor has done this and no action has been taken. This should be a lesson. This House should be the right watchdog to ensure that things are moving well.

29 Mar 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I congratulate and thank the Departmental Committee on Health for coming up with this Bill. It will support the lives of Kenyans. It was just this morning when all the media houses were talking about one school in Taita where there are no pupils in classes one, two and three. This is because of the fear of the cost of healthcare.

With this support and the empowerment given to the Ministry, people will not fear anymore. Instead they will now increase the population and teachers will get more students to teach. I was worried that I will be losing my job, since I am a teacher by profession.

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support the amendment moved by the Committee Chair. Consultation is very important especially now that there is some misunderstanding between the county governments and the national Government. This is very important. Consultations will improve service delivery.

23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support the Report tabled in the House. It is a good Report and it provides ways in which we can handle security in this country. I want to congratulate the Government for the way they are now handling security issues. I have been in this House during the last two past Governments and this is the third one. The previous system used force to approach security matters. The current system is engaging people to see the realities of peace among themselves. I want to thank and congratulate the Turkana and Pokot ...

23 Feb 2016 in National Assembly:
We have made appeals to high authorities to ensure that the few security officers should be held responsible and taken out of the system, so that good security agents can remain and work for the people. The people unite and work as Kenyans without any tribal barriers. I do not want to say much because I am happy about what is happening. I want to congratulate the President and the Deputy President. I remember there was a time when they called all the pastoralists and we discussed security issues. They came down to our level and we moved together. So, ...

16 Dec 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I would like to thank the President and the Deputy President for considering regional balance. Some Members are complaining that regional balance was not considered but the marginalized groups in this country, including the Pokot, are now “eating” the fruits of Independence. One of my colleagues complained that the Turkana have been left out but we have the Speaker of the Senate from Turkana flying the national flag. All the other years, the marginalised communities could not be recognized. We have now benefited as people from West Pokot. It was a closed district for a long ...

14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly:
Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance to also join my colleagues, especially the Member of Parliament for that area, in mourning with the bereaved families. It is so saddening to have a young man whose parents, neighbours and Kenya as a whole had built hope in, die so soon. On my own behalf and on behalf of the people of Kapenguria Constituency and West Pokot County, I send my condolences to the family, the university and the neighbours in Endebess Constituency of Trans Nzoia County. I am a neighbour to them. Trans Nzoia ...
