• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of pirates has also been alluded to. Piracy requires an international approach. These days, one of the things we have learned is that we have mother ships. You can imagine, if truly piracy is a Somali phenomenon, where do we get the mother ships? This means that there has to be an international element, may be based in Nairobi here; maybe it is based in London; maybe it is based in Dubai or elsewhere. This is why we are recommending, as a Committee, that the Government of Kenya must urge the other like-minded ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, finally, I know quite a number of hon. Members have interest in contributing to this Motion. I want to say that there is an issue that came up on the Floor of the House this morning, in particular the issue of daily flights. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things that we do not want to resent is an attempt that is tailor-made to ensuring that the people of Kenya are secure; that is something that we will whole-heartedly support. But one of the things that we will not accept, regardless of anything, is anything that is going cast aspersions on a section of the citizenry of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do know, over the years, you have also represented in court a number of individuals whose civil liberties have been denied. On the issue of security, the Government must make sure that provision of security services is completely free from corruption. This is a cancer that is going to destroy our nation. How can that be achieved? That can be achieved by paying our security officers well, because they risk their lives, they miss their families; they do a very serious job on our behalf. Therefore, I want to go on record – this ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things that completely contributed to the recent abductions, or why we failed to nap the culprits was because some of our officers on the ground did not have the necessary tools like vehicles. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, our armed forces have over the years participated in a number of UN peace-keeping missions and initiatives, and have emerged at the top. If they can do so well in the international arena, then the obvious thing is that they can do better at home. As leaders – and I want to pray and plead with my colleagues – let us not politicize the functions of our security apparatus. That must remain completely out of even the slightest imaginations of any of the politicians, or any party, so that they remain solely accountable and loyal ... view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Therefore, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to plead with my colleagues-- Because of the current set-up; because of the current heightened security alert, let us give moral support; let us support our armed men and women to protect the people of Kenya, and to serve us well. We do know that is a voluntary job that requires somebody with a big heart and total dedication to the protection of our Republic. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Therefore, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, one of the things that I will be rooting for in the next Budgetary dispensation--- Right now Parliament is part and parcel of the budget making process. One of the things we agreed on as a Committee in a very responsible and accountable manner is that all the institutions are accountable to the sovereign Republic and people of Kenya through the Constitution and the Kenya National Assembly. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with that, let us be generous to our security institutions; let us also make them accountable. If we achieve this we will have a highly modernized, highly motivated and highly prepared security apparatus; therefore, we will have no reason to worry and we will be assured that our country will always be protected. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to call on hon. Martin Ogindo to second. view
