• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is very disturbing. You heard Hon. Kaluma last week talking about 28 days. Now the Chairman is talking about 21 days. You ruled from your Chair, Hon. Speaker, after a very lengthy back and forth between Hon. Kaluma and I. Unless the Chairman is challenging your ruling, you made a ruling that because of the situation on the ground, we will not wait for 28 days or 21 days. The situation on the ground is bad. This Member does not know what he is talking about. He is being lied to. He is being misinformed by the ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: standstill. So, does he want to say that after 28 days they will have finished killing all people and the livestock? After 21 or the 28 magic days, what are we going to be talking about? Once again, I beg you. I am not a mad man. I am a Member of Parliament. I represent people. When I speak like this, I do for the people. All of us are elected to represent interests of our people. I plead with you, please, help the people of Tiaty. Hon. Speaker, use your discretion, affirm and uphold the ruling you made last ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: As a way forward, I suggest that while still pleading with you to uphold your ruling, the place that is hurting the most now is Tiaty. We neighbor Turkana East, Samburu North, Samburu West, Laikipia West, my colleague here from Marakwet East and Sigor, Baringo North. Tiaty is where security operation is taking place. So, as the Committee considers calling the rest of us, I suggest that the Committee and the Chairman commits himself here, maybe, through you, that the debilitating roadblocks be removed immediately. The idea of blocking transportation of food is unbelievable. Can you imagine a Government of ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: In that case then, Hon. Speaker, can I? That is the most inhibiting in terms of the survival of the people. I suggest that instead of the 28 or 21 days he is talking about, I am ready to yield. You know it is survival for the fittest. That is what is happening now. So, I am ready to yield. Instead of this week, we can meet even if it is on Monday. I have no problem. But telling us 21 days is a bit insensitive. I did not want to cast aspersions on the Chair. I was just a ... view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: I am ready, even if it is Monday. I am ready, but something must be seen to be done to help the people. Hon. Speaker, you and Members know that when the police are given a free hand to do whatever they wish, you can imagine what they will do. You can only imagine them asking for bribes and stopping the lorries that are taking food and burning the food. Can you imagine that kind of situation? view

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, can I suggest a day? Thank you, view
• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Koinange, for that. Let me suggest that this Committee calls the Cabinet Secretary on Tuesday morning. That is fair enough without again confirming on Thursday. Let us just say we are meeting the Cabinet Secretary all of us, my colleague Hon. Mariru and the other members on Tuesday morning. That is fair enough. view
