• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, would I be in order to ask for this Question to be deferred? view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I must say that Kenyans who have gone abroad have been rated the best in terms of education and professional expertise. First of all, this concept is not new. The only thing that is new is that this is the first time that the Government is getting involved. Taking into account the recent events in Saudi Arabia and Southern Sudan, what contingency measures has the Ministry put in place to make sure that those Kenyans who do not find favorable conditions in those countries are not affected as was the case in Southern ... view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. The Minister is waiting for a problem to happen. Is she in order to evade my question which is: What contingency measures has the Ministry put in place? Instead she is saying there have not been problems. We are not asking you to wait for problems. What contingency measures have you put in place in the event that things do not go smoothly as we expect? view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I wish to continue from where we left off on 7th April, 2010. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is need for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to operationalize the foreign policy document. The foreign policy document of the Republic of Kenya is supposed to be a reflection--- First of all, it is supposed to be constitutional, legal and a reflection of the aspirations and the thinking of the Head of State of the Republic of Kenya. This document was passed by the Cabinet and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs ought to operationalize it, so that Kenyans know what constitutes the Foreign Policy of the Republic of Kenya. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in our Committee, what we realized when we went to a number of countries, is that most of these countries even where there is no written constitution, the foreign policy document is an integral part of every activity of that particular country. We need to do the same; as we reform other sectors, I do believe, and this is the opinion of the Committee, that this document must be made part and parcel of everyday life of the people of Kenya. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have problems with Uganda; the issue of Migingo is still unresolved. There is a problem between Kenya and the Sudan on the issue of the use of River Omo; there is a potential problem actually between Kenya and Southern Sudan. We have had historical problem between Kenya and Somalia. These things need to be sorted out right now! There is nobody else who will come to help the people of Kenya to solve these problems. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as part of our recommendations, because I am just going through what the Committee actually recommended, there is also need for the Ministry of State for Defense to establish some sort of military co-operation with Turkey. Turkey is a relatively modern state. We have been there and I know that the officials of the Ministry of State for Defense have also been there. In Turkey, there is an amalgamation of modernism, aspects of Middle East and European life. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Unfortunately, Kenya does not have a mission in Turkey. We have recommended that the Kenya Government, as a matter of national interest, opens a mission in Turkey because in today’s world, diplomacy is economically driven. We have over 52 missions and some of the missions ought to have been closed long time ago. Turkey has had a mission diplomatic representation in Kenya for the last over 20 years and the commercial engagement between Kenya and Turkey, is overwhelming. Therefore, it is the high time that the Ministry of foreign Affairs opened a mission in Turkey. There has been the issue ... view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Chebukaka. The innocent officer went to London but he was rejected by the High Commissioner on the basis of tribal considerations, on the basis of cronyism, corruption and other vices. These individuals need to be protected. There is an instance where the commercial attachĂŠ brought an introductory letter to one of the officers posted to a mission. The head of that mission rushed to the bank and said “how can you introduce such an officer since he did not---“ and that officer had authority from none other than the Accounting Officer. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, these might sound like small ... view
