• 4 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, may I thank the Assistant Minister for assuring this House that he will connect electricity supply to the Emali Jua Kali Association plot. Having said that, I would like to inform him that, Garissa, being the provincial headquarters of the North Eastern Province, has had a long outstanding electricity problem for many years. What plans does the Ministry have to connect the town to the national grid? view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Transport. Is he aware that since 1968, there has been a plan by the Government to establish a port in Lamu, and construct a railway line from Lamu through Ijara, Garissa and Mwingi, to connect to the existing railway line in Thika? Is he also aware that up to last year, the establishment of Lamu Port existed in the Official Government Plan, as did the construction of a railway line from Lamu, through Ijara, to Garissa, Wajir and Moyale? Could he explain to this ... view

• 11 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, given the seriousness of the accidents on this road, could the Assistant Minister give us a timeframe within which this work will be done? view
• 5 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. We witnessed history being made in the world last night and this morning when Americans elected an African-American who has roots in my motherland Kenya, to the highest office in the land. We also made history early this year by signing the peace accord. I know we can still make history by passing this Motion. This Motion is very important because it addresses the fundamental principles of separation of powers. Separation of powers between the Legislature and the Executive will give us ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister what mechanisms he has put in place to reach and serve the pastoralist women and, in particular, by organising them and building their capacity by providing those funds to them? I am aware that those women have never accessed the funds so far. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the people of North Eastern Province in particular have been victimised in Nyayo House. Nyayo House is becoming a place for income generation from communities from North Eastern Province. It is giving people of North Eastern Province a lot of problems because of the kind of service that is given there. Once a person is identified as coming from North Eastern Province, he is given different service unlike people from the other parts of Kenya. We have people who are already on the payroll and they are in Garissa. They have not been given the tools ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: I am building my question! Why do we have those officers in Garissa if they cannot serve us? We need them to serve us. Please, facilitate them to serve us. view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion. I want to support the Minister and congratulate him for his bright vision and clear demonstration of his performance. Thank you for what you have done. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Vote. When the founding fathers of our nation founded this very important nation, they vowed to fight three issues: Disease, hunger and ignorance. But 45 years down the line, we are still crying over hunger! We are a hungry nation! An hungry nation cannot be a stable ... view
• 29 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: If we continue to under-fund this Ministry, we will be a country that will always depend on donors. We will be a country that will always depend on food aid. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the money that we use on food aid and translate what particularly goes to northern Kenya, it is a lot of money. If we could use that money for development, we could go very far! view
