25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was recognizing hon. Keynan as a serious political leader from northern Kenya who deserves to be the leader of the CORD Coalition; not to be a leader of a small faction.

But having said that, I will continue. I went to school with him. I was his senior in Moi University and he should respect that. He was my mono in Moi University and Prof. Irina can attest to that; he was the Vice-Chancellor then. Then there is clause 12.

Yes, he joined me in politics; not a good profession. There is also Article 230 of the Constitution. So, this is a very good Bill; a Bill that will take our country very far. Hon. Abdikadir is also laughing because he is also a beneficiary of the piece. He is the Organizing Secretary. So, northern Kenya is a very serious beneficiary of that piece. How it will be sustained is another thing.

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
So, this is a constitutional Bill. I urge the House Business Committee (HBC), my colleague, the Leader of Minority Party is here and other hon. Members that we slot it for the Third Reading next week so that among the other constitutional Bills, as we go for Christmas, this Bill will have been disposed of by the National Assembly. We can then send it to the other House. Whether they stay with it for five months or one year, it will no longer be our business. With those many remarks, I beg to reply.

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Keynan is giving very interesting information. We want him to name the Government officials in the last Government. He is saying hon. Duale; by then I was just a Backbencher here. I was forming the United Republican Party (URP); I was not in the Government. He was in the Party of National Unity (PNU) and he should name those people. Again, he was the Chairman of the Defence and Foreign Relations Committee. So, this matter is serious. Let us not do public relations exercise here. This House has HANSARD. Let us name people

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First of all, I wish to send my sincere condolences and on behalf of the people of northern Kenya, to the families of the 28 Kenyans who were brutally murdered by these evil men. I also condemn the act. That act was intended to divide us as Kenyans. We must stand strong, as Kenyans, and ensure that these kinds of acts do not divide us. The act that happened has no basis in religion. I want us to be very careful even as leaders. The kind of comments that we make sometimes, like I ...

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. On the outset, I want to send my condolences to the many Kenyans, not only in the Mandera incident, but those who died in acts of terror in Kapedo, Baragoi and Nairobi. Secondly, the matter before us is a serious matter. It is bigger than Mr. ole Lenku. It is bigger than Mr. Kimaiyo. It is about our national security. If I quote what the Americans said when New York was hit on 11th September, 2001; from the media to the Opposition to the Government, they said in one word: “Our nation is under ...

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Moi, the Government of Mzee K ibaki and that of mkate nusu . We have a serious thing. What do we need to do now? We need to unite across the political divide. The religious leaders, be they Muslims, Christians or Hindus have a fundamental role to play. We will not allow our houses of worship to be turned into-- Be it a Christian house; be it a Muslim house; be it a Hindu house or a synagogue, it is a house of worship. In my constituency, there are over 500 mosques. At 8:30 p.m. after the last prayer, it ...

They can be sacked. Many went, but the Commissioner of Police of the yester- governments is different from the current Inspector- General. We are dealing with a serious global terror. If you look at the performance of ole Lenku and Kimaiyo, normal crime has gone down under their watch.

25 Nov 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, that was not a point of order. I want to ask my colleagues, the political leadership, religious leadership, the business community, the media, women, youth and the elders of Kenya, let us stand together behind the President in solving the security problem of our nation. Our country is under attack.
