• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I want to request for adjournment on a definite matter of urgent national importance. Pursuant to Standing Order 33(1), I seek leave to move the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the ongoing insecurity in the country. Hon. Deputy Speaker, in the recent past there have been serious security lapses in various parts of the country especially in Mombasa, Malindi and Kapedo at the Turkana- Baringo border. It is concerning that the agencies charged with securing the wellbeing of the citizens and their properties are themselves unable to conduct the operations successfully. They are unable to contain ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move that this House adjourns so that we deliberate on this issue of insecurity that has caused many Kenyans to lose lives. I want to say first and foremost that I congratulate hon. Members who supported me early this afternoon so that we adjourn and discuss this issue as a matter of national importance. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, most Kenyans are really complaining about insecurity across the country, all the way down in Malindi, Mombasa and now along the Baringo-Turkana border where over 20 police officers lost their lives. Majority of ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Those responsible are taking this issue so casually. We want to see the Government taking responsibility because it is its responsibility to ensure that the lives of all Kenyans are protected. They should not be seen to be transferring blame to organisations or communities. We want to see the culprits or criminals who are causing Kenyans to lose lives face prosecution so that we can have a secure nation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the moment most investors are scared of investing in this country because of this issue that is touching or making most Kenyans not to be free ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: It is upon the people in charge to ensure that we have security. I want to repeat that they cannot act in a manner likely to suggest that they are shifting blame to other quarters. This is because they have the responsibility. They sit in those offices to ensure that we have enough intelligence on these security issues and to give solutions so as to protect Kenyans. No Kenyan or anybody has the power to take another person’s life. Even in my own constituency of Nandi Hills, I have lost over ten lives since I became a Member of Parliament ... view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: If it is businessmen who want to use these insecurity issues for their benefit, we want to see the security forces taking responsibility and arresting those people so that this country can be peaceful and thus encourage more investors. We want Kenyans to do their economic activities.

• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: (KCSE), others could not because of insecurity. Some pupils have been in primary schools for over eight years yet they could not sit their examinations. view
• 11 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: If it is a question of the leadership from the Cabinet Secretaries, the Inspector- General or the National Police Commission, let people be sacked. They should resign from these positions, so that we can get a solution. If individuals are involved, we want to see them arrested. Kenyans who lost their relatives in the Westgate attack and in the Lamu attacks are not sleeping because they want to see justice. They are fighting for the lives of the relatives that they lost. I call upon the hon. Members to sober up on this issue and call a spade a spade. ... view
• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I was here yesterday. I am always here. I normally intervene when I feel that it is very, very necessary. I would like the Committee Chairman to come out very clearly in his use of the word “government”. We are in a different constitutional regime, where “government” is a very strong word. You can be misinforming to say “government” when you mean “national Government”. He should be very specific, because we might--- view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Transport, Public Works and Housing regarding non-intervention by the Government in curbing perennial accidents along Chepsangwor road stretch of Nandi Hills-Chemelil Road.
