• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have seen that there are still more Members who want to contribute and we are running out of time. This Bill affects some areas in this country, could I be in order to request that we reduce the minutes taken by the Members to five or three minutes? view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I do not want to repeat what my colleagues have mentioned because this issue is touching on our areas. What is still governing mining in this country is the colonial law. The successive governments we have had did not remove that law and, instead, they benefited out of it. West Pokot and its neighboring areas have a lot of mineral resources. However, the people living there are suffering a lot. Those people are just dying people because of hunger and so on. There is no education or healthcare there. ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: what they want to pay and then they own the area and yet, the place has its people living there. They pretend that they own the land when the land really belongs to somebody else. One of the hon. Members visited Ortum and he found that the people benefiting--- The Turkanas who occupy that area are not benefiting from occupying that area but, rather, it is people coming from the urban areas who are benefiting. They are the ones in charge of transport. They are the ones mining at the moment. The people there are not getting anything. In fact, ... view
• 17 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, otherwise, I just want to support the Bill. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Deputy Speaker. I just want to declare that the Statement given here is not up to date, because this man was--- There are some corrections that I wanted made, especially with regard to my question on the identity of the police officers who assaulted the victim – they have written “deceased,” yet this guy is still alive. Mr. William is still alive. I need to know the identity of the police officers who assaulted Mr. William Ng’oris. According to this Statement, GSU officers from Kerita went to that place. Not all the officers in Kerita went there. Already ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: In fact, there is nothing we can say about this matter here. I wanted him, or you, to declare that I have time with this Committee. I would like to give them the documents, so that they go and examine William Ngoris’ house and himself. There is nothing we can argue here. When they talk of Chepchoina, it is just like Mount Kenya and Mount Elgon. I think there is a kind of a mix-up and cover-up. I know that those who assaulted Salome are being protected up to now because I come from that area. They are now trying ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: No, I am not satisfied. view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I just want to thank the Vice- Chair because he has given me that opportunity to bring all these medical documents which I have. On the other side he should know that this guy was in for six days and not 24 hours. I said this Statement was not clear. He was arrested on the first and he stayed in up to the seventh when he was released. He was taken to court on the seventh day; that was when he was released by the court. That is another mistake. I do not have much ... view
• 16 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to also add my voice to this very important Bill. I know hon. Millie’s background. She comes from the civil society world, where she has much experience on the suffering that Kenyans go through, especially the victims. Sometimes, the criminals are protected by the authorities, while the victims suffer much. I agree with all the proposals that she has made. I think she will go further and, maybe, come up with some strong avenues that victims can use in order to secure their positions, especially when they ... view
