• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of relief food depends on where you come and where I come from. Over 87 per cent of the residents still rely on relief food. Is it a situation that we are ever proud of? If you look at the current Budget Estimates, over Kshs16 billion has been voted for the purchase of relief food. Why is that money not being used for irrigation? Why is that money not being used for construction of big dams? It is simply because, through relief food, agents of impunity get the opportunity to trade. That is ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, look at the new Constitution. We have a new Constitution. We have celebrated and we have implemented it. But are the technocrats following it? Are they adhering to the letter and spirit of the new Constitution? The answer is no. Agents of impunity are re-grouping. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Right now, we are aware that the Judiciary, within the next few months, is going to be under immense pressure to implement some of the unpopular executive driven decisions. We want the Chief Justice to be alert and remain alive because in the next few months, there will be a lot of pressure by agents of impunity to coerce the Judiciary to do certain things that will be compliant with the old thinking. Hon. Justice Mutunga must be alive to that. He must be ready to defend the rights of the 40 million Kenyans. That is one thing that we ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of human resource capital, this country was voted as one of the best in that respect, courtesy of our good education. What are we doing to enhance the role of the diaspora? What have we done to have labour relations with different entities that we enjoy diplomatic relations with? If the leadership was serious, the issue of unemployment will not have been there in our midst. The reason is that Kenyans are highly skilled and highly educated. We have some of the best professionals in the world. But are we facilitating them? ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, individuals come and go but institutions remain. As a country, we cannot be complaining day in, day out. Front line issues in different media - politics. We are not going to eat politics. We need to compare. Look at our domestic debts and compare the same with external debts. Look at our GDP. These issues must be calculated and we must be prepared to support Kenyans. Thank you. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I second the same because it clarifies further the same sentence. view

• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs on the whereabouts of two Kenyans; one Mr. Ibrahim Osman Lobre, ID No.21405991 and Mr. Abey Abdullahi Hassan of ID No.21062122 who hail from Mandera West Constituency. In his statement, I would like the Minister to tell the House the whereabouts of these two Kenyans, why they were kidnapped, tortured and are illegally held in Moyale Town of Ethiopia. These two Kenyans have been illegally held in Ethiopia without any justification. Their relatives, through the OCPD, Moyale, have made an attempt ... view
• 8 May 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, lastly, I was saying that the distance between, and this is something that the Government must appreciate, Moyale Kenya and Moyale Ethiopia is less than 200 metres. We want the Minister to intervene and ensure that these two innocent Kenyans are brought back home if they are not facing any criminal charges either in Ethiopia or elsewhere. view
