• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. When I expressed my intent to ask and raise those questions in Parliament, I recall being warned that the answers which I will get will be similar to a house where the elder child has been left responsible for the younger ones. When the parents come home and find things are broken, everyone simply says we do not know and this is exactly the answer that we have received today. What we are seeing is basically an endorsement. They are going to have court cases without answers which will, indeed, be very ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, back to the Statement, the answers that have been given by the Chairperson are from a report that was signed by hon. ole Lenku. They have clearly indicated a number of names that I had mentioned but one particular name on the killings has been skipped; and that is Omar Faraj who was actually gunned down in an area called Mwembe Tanganyika which--- view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The name Omar Faraj does not appear in the response that has been there. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: With regard to the renditions to Uganda, the response clearly states that there were seven Kenyans who were sent to Uganda. In the report that has been sent over, justification was only given to five people who were sent to Uganda. They did not give the reasons why Omar and Suleiman were sent to that country. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it might sound ironic because we have the Treaty for the establishment of the East African Community. In this country, a judge had, and I want to get a clarification on this issue as well, declared those renditions illegal. This is the case and yet, we have been told that by signing the establishment of the East African Community, we will be entitled to send anyone that Tanzania and Uganda will ask for. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Is it not ironic that today, when the International Criminal Court (ICC) calls for the arrest of one person, this very Government holds the sovereignty card high? However, when a country in the East African Community asked for the seven people without regarding a Kenyan court, they were sent to that country and today we are being given the reason why five of them had been sent there. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Lastly, on 22nd October, I had also requested for a Statement but at that time, the Chairperson was not in. But the Leader of the Majority Party--- view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is on the same issue. view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 22nd October, there were shootings of clerics in Mombasa. When we were in this very House, the Leader of Majority had actually confirmed that the response which will be done - and which is being done now - will include the killings of the two clerics. One was Pastor Charles Mathole of the Redeemed Gospel Church in Kisauni and Pastor Ibrahim Kithaka of the East African Pentacostal Church. That is because those killings seemed to be following along the same pathway. We had requested for those answers to be done together and the Leader ... view
• 6 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I would like to seek those clarifications on the same. view
