• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Senate amendments. Setting up, at least, an office in each of the 47 counties of Kenya is very important. There are some counties that have a mix of ASAL and non-ASAL areas. If we do not set up an office in each of the counties, some counties might suffer because of the mix. Secondly, there are those counties that are not classified as ASAL. You will realise that in some years when La Nina sets in, even those counties will be prone to drought. It will be prudent to ... view
• 21 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Last time when we passed the Equalisation Fund Bill, some constituencies that are semi- arid did not qualify to benefit from the Equalisation Fund. This is because we looked at the Equalisation Fund as a county function instead of looking at each of the constituencies. I support the two amendments proposed by the Senate. view
• 14 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support this amendment because, in a country such as the United States of America (USA) and others, the precinct of Parliament is surrounded. In the past, it was very difficult to access Parliament. People come to block Parliament entrance in the pretext of demonstrations. So, I support this amendment. view
• 7 Oct 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I rise to support the amendment by substituting the word “youth” with “a Kenyan”. Currently, we have many Kenyans who are above the age of 35. We have some teachers who are seeking employment and others in other areas. Recently, I took one of my constituents to be employed in a particular organization, but they said that they only employ persons who are below 35 years old. That person has been looking for employment for over 20 years and he is now about 41 years. I agree that we substitute the word “youth” with ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Bill by Hon. Keynan. This Bill is due or overdue because, as an independent arm of Government, Members who represent constituencies and people of Kenya, we need to be independent and insulated from any prosecution because of discharging our duties. It is very sad that one of us who was in this House for 10 years has gone through some tribulations because of what he said as a Chairperson of a Select Committee to discuss one of our departed Members. It is very important that this Bill is supported ... view
• 26 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: That is what I had. I beg to support. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I, the undersigned, on behalf of members of Chebororwa community in Marakwet West Constituency, draw the attention of the House to the following:- (i) THAT, during the colonial period, approximately 2,500 acres of land belonging to Chebororwa community was set aside for establishment of a training centre for farmers from Elgeyo Marakwet, West Pokot, Baringo, Uasin Gishu and Trans Nzoia areas. (ii) THAT, the land was the community’s sole source of livelihood on which they depended for grazing, cultivation, water and other essential needs including medicinal herbs. (iii) THAT, in 1943, the farm was made ... view
• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: (iv) THAT, between 1956 and 1957, the land was fenced, resulting in eviction of locals, demolition of settlements, destruction of property and confiscation of livestock. (v) THAT, this condemned residents of Chebororwa to homelessness, abject poverty and psychological trauma due to being forced to live along the dangerous cliffs of Kabelio Hills. (vi) THAT, in 1996, the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock Development and Marketing approved a request from Marakwet District Development Committee to hive off 1,800 acres of the said land for settlement of squatters who had been evicted in 1957 by the Colonial Government. (vii) THAT, between 2010 and ... view

• 4 Aug 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I do not think I want Hon. Chepkong’a to assist me because he is an interested party. He is from Uasin Gishu County which we have an issue with. view
