• 10 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: borders which are prone to more insecurity - like Wajir-Somali border, Garissa-Somalia border and others - are still operating. In the Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on:- (i) when that border will be re-opened and allow the resumption of the benefits to the Lamu East constituents similar to the other borders; (ii) plans by the Government to assist the people of Kiunga and the entire region in fishing and agricultural sectors. view

We need to have our security firm and make sure that those people can do their businesses as they used to. view

Ningependa kuchukua fursa hii kumpongeza Rais kwa kutekeleza majukumu yake ya kuja na kutuelezea maendeleo ambayo Serikali yake imefanya katika muda wa mwaka mmoja uliopita.
