• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me share with this House her performance as the Chairperson of CDF Board. For the three years I was a member of that Board, there was a consultant who carried out personal performance appraisals. Believe me, Barassa, who was the Chairperson, was number last amongst the Board members for the three consecutive years I was in that institution. Even in performing her functions as the Chairperson of the Board, she kept on misinforming the Board on each and every issue. She would always quote the name of the Minister to kind of intimidate the ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Finally, I would like to say that Madam Barassa does not deserve to be an intern in this institution, leave alone being a Commissioner of PSC. view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: With those remarks, I beg to oppose. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think hon. Nkaissery is misleading the House, although he is a senior Member of it and also a general. The KPRs have existed since time immemorial. We have only 70,000 police officers in this country, which is vast. The KPR is part of the community policing. Therefore, it is not in order for hon. Nkaissery to mislead this House. The KPRs are readily available, and can walk long distances on rough terrain. These people are paid little. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I want to send condolences on behalf of my constituency, Wajir East, to the bereaved families of Westgate Mall incident. I stand to support the Motion. Actually, KPR is a necessity given that we do not have enough policemen to serve all the borders. We do not have enough men and women to take care of our security and KPR is not a force that we are creating now. It is used to exist even during pre-independence time. I want to inform the House that KPR is actually The electronic version ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: under the regular police. We have the police commandants, community, chiefs, and they are police officers. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as it has been said, because of the academic requirements of our policemen and women, most of police officers are becoming metropolitan police. Most of them are not willing to serve in most arid areas. Those few who are there are not able to take care of those areas because of the demand for security. Due to that, we need to help KPR, we need to support them, give them uniform and motivate them. As one hon. Member said, all ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this issue is of great concern to this country. We have schools which are sponsored by the Catholic Church, Islamic organisations or other religious organisations. I realise that most of the sponsorships are fake. Some of them come with difficult conditions for students and parents and, in between, sometimes, we have wrangles in such schools. At the end of the day, it is the parents and pupils who suffer. It is, therefore, very important that the Government provides clear policy guidelines because without such guidelines, students and parents will continue to suffer. Hon. Speaker, in such schools, people ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have enough time deliberating on this Motion. I would like to request you to call upon the Mover to reply. view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second the Motion. As the Mover has said, KenGen and TARDA as Government parastatals have for many years been destroying livelihoods of the lower stream inhabitants of Tana River. As you are aware, Tana River is a lifeline to many Kenyans. It view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. Unfortunately, Kenya Power is monopolistic. As a developing country, we cannot afford to have a monopolistic supplier of power; monopoly has led to a high cost of production in this country as a result of the high cost of electricity. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country is now headed to industrialization and for us to get industrialized we need to have more supply of power and more companies to supply power. For us to achieve our vision 2030, we also need to have more supply of power. We cannot ... view
