He is in the House courtesy of votes from a community because Kisumu is not Pakistan. He is a Kenyan of Pakistan origin. So, it is morally wrong and ungodly when we are told that 2 per cent of the population is consuming 50 per cent of the taxpayers‘ money and the resources of this country. It is morally wrong on the face of it. Therefore, this debate must take us back to Bomas. We must have a national debate. It is not something that can be discussed only by Sarah Serem. We must go and discuss.

21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
Look at India and their number of legislators compared to the population. I was with the Pakistan Ambassador. They have less than 350 Members of Parliament against a population of about 170 million people. Our neighbours, Ethiopia, have slightly more than 340 legislators against a population of 75 million people. Kenyans are paying taxes. The Kenya Revenue Authority (KRA) is collecting taxes and it cannot go to salaries. We have to agree in principle that we must introduce servant leadership and not leadership based on the amount of money we get. I think it is a draft for the next ...

Do we need 1,450 wards? Who said that? Let me be categorical. I am speaking even as the Member for Garissa Township. In developed democracies, even in the House of Commons and the US Congress, no country has achieved a two-third gender principle. Why is it becoming an issue in Kenya? Why? I have just come back from my constituency and the womenfolk who vote for me do not love me, but they admire my leadership. You know love is another different thing my friend. They admire my leadership, but they do not even know what the two-third gender principle ...

The 12th Parliament must go back to Bomas. Hon. Kaluma brought a Bill here which our brothers in the Senate rejected. If that Bill was assented to, the more than 40 pages the Speaker read this afternoon as a Communication could not have been there. We must protect our democracy, which is very fragile, and I am sure the coalition which I represent supports free, fair The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

As outlined by the Head of State, there is increased number of police officers. This is the only administration that has invested in the security sector. From the numbers, 10,000 men and women are employed every year. For the first time since the colonial administration, our men and women in uniform enjoy insurance policy. Since Independence, the investment in equipment and forensic laboratory and intelligence has been unprecedented.

21 Mar 2017 in National Assembly:
We have pushed the ratio of police officers below the one officer for every 800 citizens. When we took over, it was 1 to 800. But now, it is 1 to 380. I am sure that, that is a better position than the United Nations ratio of one officer for every 450 citizens. The President noted that the leaders of the world‘s most prosperous and powerful countries have come to visit Kenya. Even in our homes, if you are in Orange Democratic Movement (ODM) and Baba is in your constituency, you would love to have him have lunch in your ...
