• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1), I seek leave of the House for the purpose of discussing the increased cases of insecurity across the country occasioned by cattle rustling. Hon. Speaker, in particular, cases of cattle rustling have been experienced in Kerio Valley between the Pokot and the Marakwet communities leading to loss of several lives, livestock and property. These retaliatory attacks have and continue to impact negatively on the socio-economic activities of the two communities. School-going children have not been spared either since they have been forced to flee to safer areas thereby disrupting learning in schools oblivious ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. I sought for the adjournment of this House this afternoon because of the insecurity in various parts of Kenya, particularly in the Kerio Valley. We have lost many people in the past few days; we are burying like three people every weekend and that has been very painful. Secondly, we have lost a lot of livestock because two communities are fighting: the Pokot and the Marakwet communities. We have lost livestock which we cannot even estimate their numbers at the moment. We have also lost opportunities for our students. Our children ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: There is no cultivation going on, so we will experience a lot of hunger. My prayer is to criminalise cattle rustling and equate it to robbery with violence so that culprits can be given enough punishment that can remove them from the community. Maybe they should remain in jail for a long time or they get life sentence. Secondly, we need dialogue between the communities. These are two communities that live close to one another. If we engage them in dialogue, maybe in future we will come up with a solution to this problem. We need the two communities to ... view
• 26 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Much obliged, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I take your advice. But what I know is that it is going to take a lot of time for our people to recover from the damages that have been caused to their livestock, their farms and their lives. It is very hard to replace life which has been lost. I beg this House to support me in getting a permanent solution to the problems that we face in Kerio Valley and other parts of Kenya. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 12 Oct 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the outset, I rise to support this Bill. It has come at the right time. We all know how our organisations are run. If we are given an opportunity to train and give more information and knowledge to the directors so that once they are appointed to those positions, they take care of our investments in those organisations, it will be good. There is a lot of investment in organizations. We put a lot of money and human resource in them. If we do not have the right people to run them, we ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I support the Bill. This Bill is very dear to us our constituencies because of what the CDF has done for us in the past. I know that the predecessor of the CDF – the NG-CDF – will also do a lot for us. We also have the Equalization Fund, which has been created by the Constitution to take care of the development of areas which have been lagging behind. The NG-CDF is good because it will raise the standards of education and enhance security. The most important thing ... view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: We have debated the Betting, Lotteries and Gaming (Amendment) Bill. Betting and gaming have taken a toll on our youth because they spend a lot of time betting because they did not complete their education. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is a lot of talk around me. Please, arrest the situation. view
• 25 Aug 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you. We need education so that our youth can remain in school and stop the betting we are seeing currently. Recently, our youth burned schools enmass. view
