Farah Maalim

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, the Cabinet Secretary has said that there would be no new roads that would be constructed. We border five countries. That is Tanzania, Uganda, South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia. The former North Eastern Province is the only one that does not have a...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) The rules of relevance are there, madam.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Yes.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Let me just finish. She took my time. Let me conclude.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) The rule of relevance is that these people are working on land. They are being victimised because they are working on land and on farms, tea farms. They deserve to own that land themselves instead of becoming something endangered as slaves and labourers. That is...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Daadab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I want to commend this Committee for doing such a good job. Having said that, it is a pity that 60 years after Independence, with the blood of Koitalel Arap Samoei, the land that was grabbed and stolen from the Africans of...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) I am pleading with you, MPs; I am pleading with you, my brothers and sisters. I have been in this House for 30 years, and I am still here. We are still suffering the way we suffered 30 years ago. Some of these are historical...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Can I have my microphone on? Hon. Kiborek, I am impressed with the fact that you are proud of what I am saying. If you come to my office tomorrow, we can decide on making a Bill that is going to make compulsory acquisition of...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) On a point of order? Okay.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) On a point of order? Okay.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Speaker, I want to inform my colleagues on both sides of the House that we are called Waheshimiwa because of being in a dignified august institution. The biggest indignity in this House is for Members of Parliament to be on their feet when the...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this Motion is long overdue. In this country, the problem we have is what we call ‘elite capture of the economy and the country itself’. The elite I am talking about is the political one. Kenya Power used to be a Government...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM)(Technical hitch)Thank you very much. I was saying that until such a time that you will go to a public health facility and get better services their than, say, Nairobi Hospital, Agha Khan Hospital, or M.P Shah Hospital, one cannot claim that we have any meaningful...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, an ordinary Briton gets the same services as a Minister in the House of Commons. That country is richer than ours. They have a GDP; God-knows-how-many-times, perhaps, 100 or 150 times, bigger than ours. We are a poor country and if our...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) The fourth one? I said power, water and sanitation, and transport network.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Yes, I know. Our people are using flying toilets. Babu Owino knows more about where he comes from and the people he represents. People use plastics as toilets and throw them away. We have a health problem where our children and all of us are...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I do not know where the world is going to. This is abominable. It is a decadent and obnoxious behaviour. I wish Hon. Babu Owino was here to give me all those adjectives that he normally uses for these things. Those people...

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Oh! Okay.

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We take charge of our destiny. They are going to legalise marijuana. Very soon they are going to legalise drugs which are going to destroy our future generation. It is my humble opinion that we take charge of our countries....

Hon. Farah Maalim (Dadaab, WDM) Hon. Temporary Speaker, you are right. I am sorry. I withdraw that bit in the interest and respect for the animal kingdom. The animal kingdom never engages in that. The next thing they are going to tell us is that a man has a right...
