8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first, I want to thank the Assistant Minister because this Question was here two weeks ago and the answer was not very satisfactory. Juba Lodge is virtually about 500 meters from Garissa Police Station and the Provincial Police Officers’ offices. Since January, 2012 up to now, it is four months. How long does it take for the security agency in Garissa, the hub of North Eastern Provincial Centre, to get the motive of the killing?

Finally, the Assistant Minister is aware that since the pursuit Al Shabaab in Somalia by the Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF), a number of explosions took place in Garissa Town culminating to the death of eight people. How many people have been arrested for those many incidents and for this particular one? How long will it take for the Government to know the motive behind the killing of these three citizens?

8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want the HANSARD to bear me out. This is the fifth time that the Speaker has directed that my Statement on the deportation of the Muslim cleric to be delivered to this House. All the five times, the Leader of Government Business who is the Vice-President has committed, as late as last Thursday, that it would be delivered today on Tuesday. I want you to make a ruling on this because I am not seeing the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons unless the Vice- President wants ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, first of all, I want to thank hon. Khalwale for raising this matter. Article 217 of the Constitution gives the powers to this House - in the absence of the Senate – to allocate revenue to counties. In your ruling, I will take you to Article 203 that gives the parameters under which the resources of this nation must be equitably shared.

8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what the CRA has done - and it has abused and made it public - is a number of parameters including population, land size, poverty index, visual policy, among others. In their document which they released to the public disregarding what hon. Khalwale has mentioned as far as public participation is concerned - and I want to go on record - that the people of Northern Kenya who have been marginalised and who thought that they voted for this Constitution on the principle of devolution were not consulted.

8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in looking at those articles 203 and 217, we want you to give a direction on why CRA is using those parameters. I want to give an example that among the countries they have visited is Nigeria, South Africa, Philippines, Indonesia and India, where devolved system of governments exist. In all those parameters, none of those countries has used population as 50 per cent and they went ahead and used population at 60 per cent and land mass as 6 per cent.

8 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we feel at this juncture that Parliament must give guidance. The devolution that we passed in the Constitution must be implemented to the letter and spirit.

3 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first, I would like to thank the able Assistant Minister, hon. Gabbow, and send my condolences to the people of Gwassi. Now that it is flooding and the waters of the filled up dams have been released, which are going to affect the entire Tana Delta right from the point where the Vice- President’s constituency is down to Kipini in Garsen, where whenever there are floods farmers lose their harvest and everything else; what mechanisms is the Ministry putting in place to mitigate the situation, especially being aware that they have asked for Kshs17 billion ...
