• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we have discussed quite a number and I am not sure whether my good brother, hon. Sane, attends all the meetings. Secondly, we deal with substantive or weighty matters but when it comes to questions, sometimes when we get them directly, we bring them after consulting with my Chair. So, I do not think that every other small matter should be brought to the Committee. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to donate a few minutes to some of the hon. Members who did not have the opportunity to talk last time. I, however, want to be a bit strict. I will donate only two minutes per Member. The first Member is Lati Lelit. The others are Ferdinand Wanyonyi and Lomenen Ekomwa. I give them one minute each. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, KPR are important in our area because they do the work the police are doing. We are not saying that they are new people. They are already registered, vetted and they have their firearms only that they are not being paid well or they are not paid at all. During the Baragoi massacre they actually rescued the policemen. There were 60 KPRs deployed alongside 106 policemen. During the operation, it is the KPRs who actually rescued the OCPD. They carried him to the police station. He could not work at all. Were it not for the ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I do not think I have any information at the moment, but I would request that I be given time to consult with my Chairman. That is because all the Statements go to him. So, I cannot really give any substantive information now. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I do not remember the hon. Member appearing before the Committee; not when I was there. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move the following Motion:- THAT, aware that insecurity in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs) is caused by perennial cattle rustling that is aggravated by poor or no infrastructural facilities; also noting that there is inadequate deployment of Kenya Police Reservists (KPR), who are ill equipped, unpaid volunteers with the National Police Service and lack the motivation to fight this crime leading to apathy that has seen residents lose their livestock and even lives; and further aware that there is need to restructure the security machinery in ASAL areas to mitigate ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, why do I insist on trying to restructure the KPRs now? This is because the counties of northern Kenya have very few police officers. Those who are available are only in shopping centres and the population is very small. Areas where cattle rustling takes place are far away from shopping centres; they are remote areas where police officers are not available. The terrain where cattle rustlers take away animals is terrible and inaccessible. You can only reach them by air; you cannot use vehicles. Even the policemen do not have vehicles; equipment is not there. ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Therefore, I am moving this Motion because I want them to be assisted by being paid some allowance; they should not continue to be volunteers when they lose their lives every day. We lost a child in my village this morning. Herds of cattle were driven away by cattle rustlers. It is so painful that we can lose people and property; we are unable to effectively manage the situation because of lack of welfare for the KPRs who are supposed to assist us manage crime. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, over time we have lost hundreds of animals, thousands of people have been displaced and a number of orphans and widows now exist; poverty is just on the increase because of this menace. More firearms are being brought into Kenya; I do not know how we can prevent this if the KPRs are unable to control it. They are deployed even along our borders, for example with the Sudan. They are also deployed along our border with Uganda. They are actually performing the work that army officers should perform. It is them who try to ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Then I would like to request that you give both of them a chance to contribute. view
