• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know why my friend is jittery and yet he does not come from Laikipia. I said there is a possibility to use the proceeds of homosexuality to support people to run for public office. As I wind up, I am looking at what is in the agreement for me, the people of Laikipia and the people of Kenya. The Government of Kenya is not desperate for Kshs 19 million in a year from the British Government. That is not the case. If we have to support this Motion, the Committee must go back ... view
• 19 Jul 2016 in National Assembly: In all possible terms, I oppose the Report. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to the debate on the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill. I want to note what Hon. Millie has said about this Bill before she left. I agree education is very important. It is key to development in any nation. However, some of the people from the pastoralists communities were denied education by the colonialists because they noted that they were very intelligent. They wanted to be educated. However, giving education to pastoralists during the colonial era was a major threat to the colonialists, and to the subsequent governments. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: If the level of education law is implemented, it will lock out some very important and intelligent leaders. For example, we have hon. Members in this House who are not educated, but have made very big contribution in the communities where they come from. For example, Hon. Maison Leshoomo is a woman whom the Samburu community will vote in for the next 30 years, if she wants to continue vying. So, we cannot peg this to education because it will be very discriminatory, especially to women and marginalised communities. The education requirement should be introduced progressively. The major scandals which ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I note in some section here where the party list can have the names of the presidential and the deputy presidential candidates. The same party list should also have the names of the parliamentary candidates or Members of the County Assemblies (MCAs). I am saying this because I remember after the last election, the CORD leaders, Hon. Raila Odinga and Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka, had a very difficult time trying to get into Parliament through the window, backdoor and all sorts of ways. If their names were in their party lists, for example, Hon. Kalonzo Musyoka would not have gone to ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I note that election is not an event, but a process. When the election process is not fair, there is no way the end result will be fair. There is also the issue of registration of voters and the polling centres. There are some polling centres which are called mobile centres, but cannot be mobile. The returning officer can decide to take a mobile centre from a county to another one because during registration, the person who had interest to run was registering from a neighbouring county. Mobile centres should be mobile because there are no structures there. There should ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Education in this country is very pathetic and sad. It has been adulterated by corruption. There are so many people who have bought degrees. During election time, there is normally a contingent of politicians who run to the neighbouring land of His Excellency John Pombe Magufuli to buy charms and paraphernalia which witchdoctors offer them to be elected. There are others who run to River Road in search of degrees. They buy them. We know this. Some of them are in this House. Unfortunately, we come from some close-knit societies. You know people from the time you were playing together ... view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: A lot of women from where we come have given us this message to deliver on the Floor of this House: There are very many women outside there who will be vying for various positions, but the only predicament that might limit them is education. Some girls from the Maasai community were denied education because their fathers thought they were part of the family property, and they would “sell” two girls to educate one boy. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, denying such a girl a chance to vie because she does not have a degree, and that girl could be me, is discriminatory and unfair. It will not go down well with people who want to vote for that particular woman. view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: I support this Bill, but with amendments. We want to have an election process where everybody is given a platform to exercise their democratic right. It is also important to note that during party nominations, some people hold political parties to ransom. It is an open secret. For some political parties to appoint you as their flag bearer, you must be connected to some people. I say that with a lot of confidence because I was once a member of a political party which happens to be the second largest in the country, namely, the ODM. I left the party ... view
