• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I stand to support the Motion as amended and I want to raise some very pertinent issues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: One of them is the identity cards which are very important documents. Many of the students and the youth from some of areas including Wajir, Garissa, Isiolo and Marsabit fear being arrested. Some of them cannot even come to Nairobi. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it takes too long for these identity cards to be issued and I do not know if the Ministry and the department concerned with the issuance of identity cards have a service charter. Sometimes the issuance of identity cards takes like six to seven months and this puts the youth who are looking for these documents ... view
• 6 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: In my county, 400 identity cards were returned on allegation that the person who was doing vetting was a refugee. His identity card showed that he was supposed to be in a refugee camp. Therefore, the youth are suffering because they do not have identity cards up to today. That tells us how corruption in the National Registration Bureau is very high. That should be handled to ensure that, at least, when we are giving out identity cards, we give them to the right people. We will benefit when we are sure that we do not have security issues in ... view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations regarding non-endorsement by Kenya of the declaration to commit herself to end sexual violence and conflict. Thirty-five African countries, including the entire East Africa--- view

• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: That is fine, hon. Speaker. view
• 30 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I wanted to contribute earlier. So, this has been overtaken by events. view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Mining Bill. I have some caution though. When I went through the Bill, I realized that some pastoral areas that are basically community owned land have not been mentioned in the Bill. We know that most of these areas have been categorized for the last 50 years as low potential areas and people thought that there was nothing good that could come from there. So, we have been marginalized in terms of development and it is only by God’s grace that we are now discovering minerals in most of those ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I would also like to say that some pastoral areas where we are discovering minerals are areas that are strategic grazing or drought reserve areas for these communities. In my county, our economy is basically a livestock economy and we rely on livestock. Some of the areas where we are discovering minerals are strategic drought reserve areas for our animals. Some of these areas are not gazetted at all in the documents held by the National Land Commission. So, if minerals are discovered in some of the strategic drought reserve areas and the communities are not involved, ... view
• 22 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, I would also like to say that we have multinational companies in some of our areas. We also have local companies which are doing mining without even consulting the communities in those areas. Some of the documentation is done in Nairobi. People go to these areas because they know that there are minerals in one, two or three places and yet the communities are not even aware. So, I do not know what will happen to the areas where mining has been done and the community has some disputes on those pieces of land. This issue also needs to ... view
