• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity also to contribute to this very important Report. History repeats itself. In the last Parliament when the draft Constitution was brought to the House, one of the issues being raised today, I remember Senator Musila moved an amendment on these security related articles in the Constitution. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I seconded and we were short of seven hon. Members to reach the two-thirds constitutional threshold. We did not reflect at that time because of the politics of the day, I am sure my brother, hon. Kiuna, who is here and was there that time, is regretting today because we accepted a document that had 10 per cent lethal provisions. Ninety per cent of the current Constitution is an excellent document, but we have 10 per cent lethal provisions which have never worked anywhere; which cannot work here in Kenya and which eventually, if we do not sort out today ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: One of the hon. Members who earlier on contributed said, we need to give them mandate. It is not that they do not have mandate. We have the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) Act; we have the National Intelligence Service (NIS) Act and the Police Service Act. These Acts are there but there are deficiencies in the Constitution. These deficiencies, whether it is through misinterpretation of the law, a lacuna in the law or misunderstanding, must be addressed. In the last week alone, we have lost 80 Kenyans. Two people were killed in Wajir as a result of a bomb blast; ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I want to urge and appeal to His Excellency the President, in democracies, if you have failed to discharge your functions, you do not wait for somebody to ask you to The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: resign. But in the Kenyan context right now, we are dealing with symptoms. I think in my opinion, it is unfair to ask Mr. ole Lenku and Mr. Kimaiyo to resign. The problem is not Mr. Kimaiyo or Mr. ole Lenku; the problem is systemic institutional failure. Let us not deal with the symptoms. Let us go for the causes. The causes are that institutions are not working. Mr. Kimaiyo is not the commander of police in Wajir; he is not the commander of police in Mandera. Let us address the institutional failures. The institutional failures are there. We have ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We have said, let us not devolve security but inadvertently we have devolved security. The chiefs are not working because there is no security. The County Commissioners are not working. There are no District Officers in the Republic of Kenya. The County Commissioners have been reduced to carpet beggars of the governors. It cannot work. I want to ask: Can we have a supplementary order to support the Provincial Administration so that they can work because that is where our security issue should be addressed? view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of just dealing with symptoms can no longer sustain the security of the Republic of Kenya. Where I come from, we have one of the longest routes of human traffickers. It is documented. Every day we report hundreds of human beings being trafficked through one of the routes between my constituency, Wajir North, Moyale, Marsabit, Moyale and Isiolo, all the way here. It is known to the security apparatus and we have raised this issue. We have asked them to erect a police post, but they have failed. Every day, there are hundreds of ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is it in order for hon A.B. Duale, the Leader of Majority Party to talk about party politics and factions, non-existent factions within ODM, when he is supposed to concentrate on this very important Bill of the Environmental Management and Co-ordination (Amendment) Bill? view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Motion. I stand here as a devastated Kenyan. The despicable act by the terrorists on those innocent 28 Kenyans is something that all peace loving Kenyans must stand and condemn in every aspect. One of the things I wanted to say has already been said by hon. Waiganjo. What we are seeing is a systemic institution failure over the years. I stand here to say today without any contradiction that we do not have national security policy. I want to bring to the attention of ... view
• 25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Those individuals must be charged with treason. They are the ones who have made Kenya insecure. view
