• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Committee, under the leadership of their Chairman. However, I disagree with the information that was given to the Committee by the Cabinet Secretary. I was not there during that particular session. I had attended peace meetings between the Pokot and the Turkana communities on that day. Otherwise I would have raised some concerns over the information. Hon. Deputy Speaker, I agree with the concerns of the Committee, where they ask the leadership of that area to get further details. The Cabinet Secretary is new in the Ministry. I have lot ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I wanted to give the history, hon. Deputy Speaker. Yes, I will do that. There are two select committees. The first one was appointed by hon. Kamama and then there is this other one which came in 2012. These committees are messing us. Now, could the Chair of this Committee table the minutes that were used to appoint these two current select committees? This is because to me they were just appointed by the District Commissioner (DC) and his group. So, could he table those minutes here so that we can go further and check what happened? view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Two, what steps will be followed? This is because he says that he has discussed with the Cabinet Secretary while the people on the ground have no knowledge up to now. The 2012 group who were given land the other day are now coming to evict those who are already settled there. So, could he ensure that the people who were given land in 1997 are the ones to be resettled first and then the others can follow later? view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I would also like to add my voice in thanking and congratulating the Chairman and the Committee for coming up with a clear road to help our people to come out of the suffering that they have been going through for a long time. Most of the Members have raised the concerns that I had, but I only want to emphasise what some of them have said. I want to start with the issues between us and the East African Community. The other day we were ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, what happened at Westgate Mall has made some small-scale businessmen suffer. This is because there was no insurance cover for their businesses. So, their businesses have just gone down the drain just like that. Small- scale businessmen find it very expensive to insure their businesses. I agree with what was said, that we can lower insurance premiums so that such people can afford to insure their businesses and if something happens at least, they can also benefit. I think those are some of these things that I want to share with the House and ask ... view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I support the Motion. view
• 27 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to add my voice to what my colleagues have said. I am a teacher by profession and all through from 1996 and 1997, I participated in the teachers negotiations. I happen to have been one of the people who went to Kabarak on a Sunday and Mzee Moi promised us the things that people are talking about. I want to assure my former colleagues, namely, the teachers, that this Government will stand with them. It will deliver what they are asking for. Already, the Government has started fulfilling these promises and ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for also giving me this chance to add my voice to this issue of insecurity. I sympathise with the people of Turkana. They are my neighbours and for a very long time they have suffered especially from attacks from our neighbouring countries of South Sudan and Ethiopia. This time, I also want to thank the Turkana people because they have chosen good and focused leaders who are here to come and improve their living standards. However, as most hon. Members have contributed here it is shameful to have Motions for The electronic ... view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Adjournment every now and then to discuss insecurity and yet the Government takes no action. view
• 4 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I remember the other day we were discussing Turkana West which also neighbours Turkana North that we are discussing today. No action has taken place. All the time the Government of Kenya is aware of what is happening along those borders. There was a time the Kenya Television Network (KTN) went to that place and there was footage where we saw a police station using donkeys as a means of transport. You will discover that the Government is not ashamed, they are still using donkeys to move around. Even the houses which police officers live are ... view
