Secondly, for clarification, I can reply even on what I have read. So, clarification does not mean that you go back. A Member can seek clarification on what he was maybe not paying attention to.

3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Having said that, militias are there and I think the Government has a responsibility under the Constitution--- That is what they were discussing. What Hon. Elmi said is true. The problem is in Mandera County and not in Wajir County. AlShabaab is another big issue that needs to be discussed another day and not today. Of course, the Government has said, and we will pass the information that arrest must be made. However, I am sure that even hon. Members of this august House have recorded statements with the police. I am also sure that, that is part of the ...

Schools and roads must be opened and normalcy must be brought to the people of Mandera County. Under the Constitution, that is the function of the Government and it cannot run away from it.

Hon. Speaker, we should not politicize this problem in Mandera County. We must take politics out of it. I think the leaders in that region must lead from the front, and make sure that death, destruction and displacement of innocent people is stopped. I agree with hon. Keynan that leaders gave a commitment, whose days ended on Monday. The elders’ meeting that took place will address everything.

I have never pretended because I have never served in Governments where people used to pretend, maybe he did in a

Hon. Speaker, some measures were put in place, but hon. Wakhungu was not there. These include having in place the County Commissioner, the up-scaling and giving of equipment and vehicles to Gitwamba, a contingent of GSU officers were deployed there and a squad from the Special Crime Unit. Plans are underway also to put up two police stations. We are beginning a financial year and this will be done. With regard to hon. Korir’s request, there is something in the Constitution called the county community policing which is supposed to be formed between the county government and the National Police ...

2 Jul 2013 in National Assembly:
Hon. Speaker, Sir, on the outset, I want to say it again here that our country has come of age. It is the first time again in the history of Kenya since Independence that the candidate nominated for the office of the Solicitor-General must go through a parliamentary vetting process. I am sure there are many people out there in this country – thousands and millions – who even do not know what the office of the Solicitor-General is all about. I am sure this new dispensation will now put to light what this position of Solicitor-General under Section 9 ...
