Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I know today…

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I send my condolences to the families. May the souls of the departed rest in eternal peace. This is a horrible moment for us as the people of Turkana County. We have not been reached by the Government. Most...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2) (c) , I request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Education regarding primary schools in Turkana Central Constituency which have been submerged due to rising water levels in...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. From the outset, at least the ministry is honest and sincere that this project has continued to fail in its implementation. On the ground the projects done were destroyed by the river which is inside Lodwar Town. As you...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, this is very critical for me as a representative of that area. In that area, there are still internally displaced people (IDPs) . People are homeless and this is because people are being told to implement some given project but nothing...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you so much, Hon. Speaker. This is a very pertinent issue, especially to those of us from marginalised constituencies.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I do not know if the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Blue Economy and Irrigation, Hon. Bowen, is listening.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Hon. Speaker, you made a ruling regarding the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) issue with fishermen at Sibiloi. You resolved that we form a multi-sectoral committee to look into the issue. The issue was brought up in June, but nothing has been processed yet.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) I am well guided, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I have a pending statement that has not been resolved to date.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, what has been raised in that Statement also happens in my Constituency. It cuts across many issues. It is not only about potable water. Firstly, the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) should address the frequent crocodile attacks.Secondly, those who have been attacked...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a hopeless situation. If giants like Moi University are struggling then what will happen to counties that are planning to open new universities, for example, Turkana University College, which was opened by the President? What...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Turkana Central.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I stand to thank Hon. Passaris for bringing up this Motion, but in the same measure I want to oppose it. We have a failed policy. We have a system that has already failed us and that is the...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I also thank the Cabinet Secretary for Youth Affairs, Creative Economy and Sports. I acknowledge the importance of sports and thank the Cabinet Secretary, Hon. Murkomen, for taking it seriously. Let me give the background of OKM Tournament that was...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) I am Hon. Namuar.

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Hon. Deputy Speaker, again I want to support the request for statement by Hon. Kamket and say that it is high time we reconsider the C- (minus) . The C- (minus) is making the chiefs’ administrative role to be elitist; someone who has gone...

Hon. Joseph Emathe (Turkana Central, UDA) Thank you so much Hon. Deputy Speaker. First, maybe, the lighting system needs to be improved. We are a little bit marginalised on this end. Otherwise…
