14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you look at the leadership of MRC, in all their fora, these are the four things they propagate. They propagate that they want to fight for the separation of the coastal region. They are said to be engaged in military training. They are said to be closely working with the Al Shabaab . There have been allegations of the MRC burning voters’ cards. Even Article 36 of the Constitution talks about the spirit of the Constitution in terms of stability and the unity of the nation. I am very happy today that the Prime ...

14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to seek your indulgence; I am just about to seek my clarification. I just want to build my case. The Prime Minister has also talked about Article 3(2) and Article 5. Article 5 talks about the territorial composition of the Republic of Kenya and Article 3(2) talks about the elected Constitution Government. My clarification is this: If you look at all that I have said, then this is a dangerous group. They are not different from Al Qaeda and we cannot use poverty---

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we say poverty, it is in Ukambani, Garissa and everywhere. Could the Prime Minister confirm that if we can engage, as a Government, with that group, then it means in other regions, we will start similar MRCs to agitate for our problems?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Under the Standing Orders, it is the Prime Minister’s Time and the Prime Minister has issued a Statement which hon. Members are interrogating. Is the hon. Member in order to bring issues that this House even discussed during the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission (IEBC) Report debate? Is that part of the Prime Minister’s Statement?

On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the Member in order? My mother is a Kenyan and yet she does not speak Kiswahili. She is not in order; not all Kenyans of Somalia origin know how to speak Kiswahili. The same case applies to other communities including the Kikuyus, the Luos and the Kalenjins.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want first to thank my colleague, hon. Yussuf Hassan for bringing this Motion. It is timely and I think it is of national importance.

14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to say from the outset that the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security is doing its best. Why do I say so? Since the invasion of Somalia - for some of us it is an invasion in pursuit of the Al Shabaab - a number of attacks have taken place in my constituency and in the larger Northern Province. Community leaders, security agents, or intelligent networks have come together and today that is a thing of the past. If you walk around in this City you would find the investments ...

14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
As a country, we are losing a lot in terms of investments. What happened at Machakos Bus Station, where we lost nine Kenyans is going to affect our economy. When the international media splashes, there are many corporate investors who will wonder whether Kenya is a safe destination or not.

14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, at this trying moment, as leaders, we should not dwell more on blame games. We must give the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) more funding to make sure they live up to their mandate. It is not the police. It is the intelligence network that is supposed to give that information. I am sure they must have done their best and these are isolated cases. But even isolated cases cannot be excused for a Government agency.
