• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: I really want to be given an opportunity. This Motion is now the property of the House. I am as familiar with our Standing Orders as I am with the Quran. What I want to say is, on the face of it--- Leader of Majority, I agree. We are not blaming you. I understand the Standing Orders; this must have originated somewhere in CORD. But I want to say this, and I want to go on record, it is a belated attempt; it is not the way to discipline a Member. Therefore, the intention is capricious; it is malicious; it ... view
• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Kenya. They should be treated with respect and accorded the necessary decorum; therefore, I strongly oppose this Motion. view

• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, this House adopts the Public Investments Committee Special Report on the Procurement of the Tender for the Proposed Kenya Bureau of Standards Coast Regional Offices and Laboratories in Mombasa. Hon. Speaker, before we adjourned there was a small procedural mistake which was made – I do not blame anybody. I want to give notice of Motions of some of the reports that we tabled. We realized that instead of deferring--- I do not want to blame the Leader of Majority Party because we were in a haste of ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. From the outset, I would like to thank the three colleagues who went to Wajir. I would like to say, on behalf of the Parliamentary Service Commission, that we ought to have our own outreach programmes to familiarise ourselves with the different parts of the Republic of Kenya. That is because we know a lot about the outside world but we know very little about Kenya. I really want to thank my three colleagues for that very important venture. view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: It is good that we really faced the hard issues. The other day, over 52 officers were sacked as a result of many Kenyans who lost their lives. Since the formation of the Jubilee Government in March last year, over 100 people have lost their lives in the counties of Wajir and Mandera. I am yet to see any senior officer taking responsibility and resigning or getting sacked by the appointing authorities. Why discriminate against the people of Kenya? I want the people of Wajir and Mandera to hear this: We will not accept the old stereotypes that relegated us ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, addressing the issue of insecurity is the sole responsibility of the national Government. That is why the framers of our Constitution decided not to devolve security. We cannot lament. I want His Excellency President Uhuru Kenyatta to hear this: He has been let down. I expected hon. Duale to be here. On Friday, the entire leadership of Wajir County was on the ground. Had the security officers acted on our advice, some of the things that were shown on television would not have happened. I received a text message from a very senior security officer on ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: investments and some of the mega projects that we have in mind, we must ensure that the lives and properties of all Kenyans are secured. Once we achieve that, our foreign friends who are interested in investing in Kenya will have the confidence to do so. How can you invest in a country that is burning? How can you invest in a country where the only news that comes from it is insecurity-related news like detonation of hand grenades? Let us not cheat ourselves. There will be no investment until we tackle this issue of insecurity. I want to challenge ... view
• 3 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Before and recently, I have been a faithful supporter of the presence of our KDF officers in Somalia. That policy has failed and it is high time we re-considered and withdrew our forces from Somalia. They should come and secure the lives and properties of the people of Kenya. When you are secure, you can secure your neighbour’s house. We are not secure and our people are being butchered and killed. It is not only in Wajir and Mandera, it is happening in every part of the Republic of Kenya. I want to ask hon. Uhuru to visit Wajir and ... view
