• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I would like to re-emphasize to the Leader of Majority Party that the timeframe we are requesting was a month from 8th October this year. That is the time that was requested by the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. Over and above that, the Leader of Majority Party has said that if we have any witnesses, they should appear before the Committee. I will definitely be privy to some information and in the event that I am informed about the Committee meeting, I will definitely attend it in order to give the information. ... view

• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker, Sir. First and foremost, I wish to thank the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information under the able leadership of my brother, hon. Jamleck. It is true that a meeting was called by the Committee and I was called as a friend of the Committee on a first hand basis, to try and see whether we can be able to resolve this issue. view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: There is one clarification I want to seek from hon. Jamleck. When will we expect the Energy Bill because that is something I am aware that the Departmental Committee on Energy, Communication and Information is either working on or is expecting from the relevant Ministry? As much as a comprehensive answer has been given, Mombasa is currently experiencing very unfair outages. The outages are experienced on a daily basis and last for hours. I think the Energy Bill will clearly define issues especially those to do with compensation for the many hours that the business community and individuals have lost. ... view
• 15 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, that is what I wanted to start with. But because we are not aware and we do not have a timeline, I would like to bring this particular legislation to the House as a Private Member’s Motion. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has hit the nail on the head that, indeed, there is something not very right that is going on. I actually tend to wonder. Had this issue not been raised in Parliament, for how long would we have had to continue not knowing exactly what is happening? I was actually in the meeting of the Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade. My Chairman has rightfully put it that this issue had gone to the Office of the Attorney-General, but I was informed otherwise. I was informed that the Office ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2) (c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the apparent upsurge of extra-judicial killings in the country and rendition of Kenyans to Uganda on suspicion of being involved in terrorist acts. In May, 2012, the decomposed body of one Samir Khan was found in Tsavo East National Park. In July, 2012, Omar Faraj was shot dead by the police. In October, 2012 Aboud Rogo was gunned down in Bamburi. In June, 2013, Kassim Otieno Omolo and Salim ... view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Seven Kenyans, namely Omar Awadh Omar, Hussein Hassan Agade, Mohamed Aden Abdul, Iddris Magundu, Mohamed Hammed Suleiman, Yahya Suleiman Mbuthia and Habib Suleiman Njoroge, were renditioned to Uganda to face terrorism charges in 2010, but to date, their trials have not begun. This is despite a Kenyan court declaring the renditions illegal. Hon. Deputy Speaker, as much as we do not support terrorism or groups that are linked to terror, we need to uphold the rule of law. The killing of people without taking them through free and fair trial--- view
• 8 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, allow me to remind this House that in this country, we are governed by a Constitution. Article 28 of the Constitution provides for the right of a citizen to justice. Article 50 clearly spells out the rights of the citizenry of this country, including the right to a free and fair hearing in the event that they are suspected of any crime. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in his Statement, the Chairperson of the Committee should inquire into and report on the following--- view
