• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I commend the Assistant Minister for the action they have taken. I do appreciate that the action was timely. However, I wish to differ with him on two issues, one being the cause of shooting, of the three young men. There was cattle rustling on the night of 29th November, and 100 head of cattle and 200 sheep and goats were stolen. Residents called upon the Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) to respond to their distress calls to follow the cattle rustlers who were armed to the teeth. The innocent people whose cattle were stolen could ... view
• 9 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Stones were placed on this road during the night. How could vehicles travel from Isiolo to Maili Saba when there were stones all over? Even for my access to that place, these people had to clear the road for me. Where the vehicles--- view
• 8 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek two clarifications. Is the Minister aware that his current appointee as acting Managing Director (MD), Ms. Milka Mugo, was part and parcel of the down fall of the old KCC? Could he also confirm that she was in the company secretariat when the company assets were irregularly disposed of? Is the Minister aware that the farmers in this country are totally against his decision and that this has a potential of destroying the already lucrative dairy industry? view

• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: (a) Is the Minister aware that herders from Isiolo have invaded farms in Buuri and Lower Imenti Forest in North Imenti Constituency, with herds of camel, and are causing destruction to crops and recently-planted tree seedlings and exposing the dairy cattle in the region to diseases; view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister’s answer is very shocking. One, he has said that the herdsmen are not armed when it is obvious that they are armed to the teeth. It is also obvious that what they have can be seen because they do not hide their guns. Those herders also threaten the local community. Secondly, the Assistant Minister has said that there are over 4,000 camels, goats and sheep. When those camels and sheep move across the farms, is it possible for them not to enter the farms with recently germinated crops like maize and beans and ... view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very dangerous trend. Whenever there are ethnic clashes elsewhere, those who are evicted from their places go and cause havoc elsewhere. Could the Assistant Minister confirm to this House that whenever there are ethnic clashes elsewhere, they will not go and provoke other people into fighting because North Imenti people will not bear this any longer? Today is the final day! view
• 3 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the insecurity situation in Buuri. They promised to issue it on Wednesday afternoon. Since the Assistant Minister is here, he can issue that Ministerial Statement. view
