24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Gumbo should give me time. When we want to make a request, we will make it. We have done that before. When there were tribal clashes in Tana River - and I happened to serve in the last Parliament, we sought a request. When we wanted to deploy KDF in Turkana, Pokot and Mandera, we sought a request and this House approved it. This is according to Article 241(3)(b). I am very categorical. KDF is acting within that Article as far as its specialized equipment and special units are concerned. If the Executive feels that ...

24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, he has raised a very substantial matter. But it is very sad that, in the House Business Committee, which I am not the Chair and the Speaker is the Chair, the top leadership of CORD Coalition led by hon. Nyenze sits there. So, it is not my obligation. You can use your leadership which sits in the House Business Committee to give priority to that Report.

24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it is our obligation as Members of Parliament to, at all times, defend and protect the Constitution. Again, it is upon us not to read the provisions of the Constitution selectively and just for convenience purposes. I do not know where he has gone but hon. Mbadi quoted the KDF Act No.3, and he has left. That is because I am sure the Members will listen to me and the people of Suba will know the kind of person they have sent to Parliament who asks questions and leaves.

24 Jul 2014 in National Assembly:
The KDF Act, Sub-section 3 talks about this scenario - and I said it that when a war, however small, like in the case of Lamu, falls within Article 241(3)(b), I am not the drafter of either the KDF Act or the Constitution. It is the people of Kenya through their elected representatives. Article 241 is like the Westgate and I want to tell the Member for Mbalambala that the Report from the KDF, after they exited from Westgate was reported. The HANSARD will prove me right. The Report of the two joint committees came to this House and it ...
