Heartfelt congratulations to my sister, Hon. Sagal Abdi-Wali, on being sworn in as the new Member of Parliament for Holborn and St Pancras and taking her seat in the House of Commons.

As a young Somali woman, her achievement is a powerful reminder that the doors of leadership can open wider, that representation matters, and that the courage to aspire can inspire generations to come.

Winning on the Labour Party ticket with 32.8% of the vote to represent a constituency previously served by former Prime Minister Keir Starmer is a significant political milestone. But beyond the numbers and the historic seat lies a story of ambition, perseverance, and the possibilities that emerge when new voices step into spaces where decisions are made.

For me, this achievement is deeply personal. As a fellow elected female leader and her sister, I celebrate not only her success, but also the hope her journey offers to young Somali women and girls who dare to imagine themselves in positions of influence, leadership, and public service.

Because when one woman breaks through, she expands the horizon of possibility for many others.

As you begin this important chapter, dear sister, may your voice be guided by purpose, your leadership anchored in integrity, and your service defined by the lives you touch and the people you represent.

May this be the beginning of a meaningful journey of public service, courageous leadership, and lasting impact.

Guuleyso, walaashay!
May you succeed, make us proud, and inspire generations yet to come.

I wish to express my heartfelt appreciation to our fellow leaders currently serving in public office, our Honourable former elected leaders, respected elders, influential men and women in our community, distinguished leaders, and all community members who came together earlier today in a remarkable demonstration of faith, unity, and collective responsibility.

Through your generosity and shared commitment, we raised KSh 33,759,000 towards the completion of Jamia Masjid Habaswein and Madrasatul Ibnu Mas’ud; A modern, dignified, and well-equipped centre of worship and learning that preserves our Islamic heritage, nurtures future scholars, empowers our children through Madrasah education, strengthens our social bonds, and inspires a future rooted in faith, knowledge, unity, and progress.

Jamia Masjid Habaswein holds a special place in the hearts of our people. Once completed, it shall serve as a spiritual anchor for Habaswein and its environs, a centre of worship, a home of Islamic learning, a source of moral guidance, and a platform from which our respected scholars shall enlighten our community with the teachings of the Holy Qur’an and the Sunnah of our beloved Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) for generations, to come.

As we look towards the future, let us remain steadfast in this noble undertaking. May Allah (SWT) reward every contributor, donor, organiser, and well-wisher abundantly; bless their families and livelihoods; accept their contributions as Sadaqah Jariyah; and make this project a source of continuous blessings for our community, both in this world and in the Hereafter.

May Allah grant us the unity, wisdom, and determination to see this noble project through to completion. May He make Jamia Masjid Habaswein and Madrasatul Ibnu Mas’ud enduring beacons of faith, knowledge, and guidance for generations yet unborn.

This is more than a fundraising milestone; it is a powerful testament to what we can achieve when we unite for a noble cause, guided by our faith and a shared vision for our community.

CONGRATULATIONS, HON. FATUMA IBRAHIM ALI, PSC COMMISSIONER

I wish to take this opportunity to join the people of Wajir County and the wider North Eastern Kenya in extending my warmest congratulations to Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali, former Wajir County Woman Representative and Member of the East African Legislative Assembly, following her approval by the National Assembly as the female non-Member Commissioner of the Parliamentary Service Commission (PSC).

This is a moment of great pride for Wajir and for North Eastern Kenya.

Hon. Fatuma’s appointment represents not only the culmination of a rigorous parliamentary process, but also a recognition of the experience, leadership and public service she brings to this important constitutional institution.

Her nomination received the support of the relevant parliamentary processes, following consideration of the report of the Standing Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, which conducted her approval hearing on 28 September 2026.

And there is something particularly special about this achievement: it is Wajir excellence on display.

One of the things I have always been proud of about Wajir is our capacity to produce leaders who rise beyond the boundaries of our county and contribute meaningfully to the nation and the region.

More importantly, this achievement is another powerful affirmation of women’s leadership from Wajir and North Eastern Kenya.

Hon. Fatuma emerged as the highest-scoring candidate among 75 eligible applicants - a remarkable achievement that speaks to the depth of experience and qualifications she brought to the process.

She distinguished herself across the criteria considered, including academic qualifications, relevant professional experience, understanding of Parliament and the Commission, leadership and management, and the constitutional requirements relating to leadership and integrity.

Her candidacy also proceeded through the requisite consideration by relevant State agencies and public participation. Alhamdulillah.

Today, we celebrate not merely an appointment, but a journey of service, perseverance and achievement.

We celebrate a daughter of Wajir who has continued to demonstrate that excellence knows no geographical boundaries and that when women are given the opportunity to lead, they can rise to the occasion with distinction.

The approval of Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali as a Commissioner of the Parliamentary Service Commission is therefore a proud moment for her, for her family, for Wajir County, and for the people of North Eastern Kenya.

Hon. Fatuma, congratulations on this well-deserved responsibility. May you serve with wisdom, integrity and distinction, and may this new chapter of public service bring honour to the people and communities you represent.

Hongera sana, Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali, PSC Commissioner.
Wajir is proud. North Eastern is proud. Kenya is proud.

A proud moment for the people of Wajir County as Parliament approves the nomination of Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim as a non-Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission.

This follows her interview and vetting by the Senate Justice and Legal Affairs Committee.

Congratulations, Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim, on this new responsibility. We wish you every success as you take up your new role and serve the country with dedication and distinction.

Congratulations once again!

As members of the Departmental Committee on Lands, we met with the National Land Commission (NLC), represented by its Chairperson, Dr. Abdillahi Saggaf Alawy, Commission Secretary & CEO Kabale Tache Arero, and other Commissioners.

Our consultations focused on strengthening cooperation and institutional relations between Parliament and the NLC, addressing challenges affecting the effective discharge of the Commission’s mandate, and enhancing coordination on matters of national importance.

We remain committed to continued engagement and collaboration in strengthening land governance, improving administration and service delivery, and ensuring that matters under the Commission’s mandate are handled effectively for the benefit of Kenyans.

21/09/2026

As part of my responsibilities as Vice Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Lands, chaired by North Mugirango MP Hon. Joash Nyamoko, I joined my colleagues in Mombasa for a consultative engagement with officials from the Ministry of Lands and Physical Planning.

The Principal Secretary, Hon. Nixon Korir, and the Ministry team responded to questions and provided clarification on several disputed and contested land matters that had been brought before the Committee.

We agreed that each of the four matters has its own legal and administrative circumstances. The Committee will therefore carefully consider court decisions, land records and submissions from the affected parties before finalising its report.

These engagements are important because they give us an opportunity to listen, ask questions and better understand the concerns raised by Kenyans through their elected representatives. Our focus remains on finding lawful, fair and lasting solutions.

On Tuesday, we will continue these consultations with officials from the National Land Commission, particularly on the land acquisition processes relating to various matters before the Committee.

Parliamentary committees have an important role in oversight—ensuring that Government processes are properly examined and that the concerns of citizens receive the attention they deserve.

It was a constructive session, and we look forward to continuing the work.

17/09/2026

Another proud moment for Wajir County as our first Women Representative, Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali (2013–2017), has been nominated to serve as a Member of the Parliamentary Service Commission, pursuant to Article 127(2)(d) of the Constitution of Kenya.

She will now appear before the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs for vetting and consideration of her suitability for the position.

This is a significant recognition of her experience, service and contribution to Parliament and public affairs.
We wish Hon. Fatuma Ibrahim Ali the very best as she takes this important step. Congratulations, Hon. Fatuma, and all the best in the vetting process!
