• 19 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am in support to what my colleague has said. It is not that I am opposed to religious organizations getting the grant, but because we need to have a fair playing field for everybody. It is said that mostly we do not have free lunch, and here we are providing for free lunch. These people will not be accountable and when it is a free grant I imagine that they will not even repay back that money. So, they need to be put at the same level so that every player has the same opportunity. ... view

• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am still waiting to request a Statement. I do not wish to contribute to that one. view

• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairpersons of the Committees on Land and Administration and National Security regarding the tension that threatens to turn into widespread violence amongst communities inhabiting Laikipia County. Simmering tension over land and grazing areas threatens to disrupt peace between local communities as well as between local communities and ranchers. There have already been incidents of arson, including the burning of a police post in Tutu area and the burning of Loisaba Lodge in Laikipia North Constituency view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I had to let my friend hon. Midiwo, whom I respect very much, continue. He is an able debater but I must disagree with him.. I think the Bill that is being proposed is going to bring order in command of the police force. The police and the military are not like any other civilian organization where you have a collegiate command centre. I would like to qualify what I am saying today. We have heard of incidents in Migori and Busia. I sought a statement this afternoon about dysfunctional police force. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: orders. Who deploys, is it the whole commission or the Secretary? This is a civilian unit which has one centre of command. But then you have a militarized unit and you want to have a disjointed centre of command. Let us be realistic. Some of the things that we are having today are as a result of us mixing issues and allowing armed forces to operate the way they do. If we look at the nation itself, where we have the President as the Commander-in- Chief he has a command centre that advises him. But at the end of the ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I know that the Chairman is going to move an amendment to Clause 7(1). Therefore, it is better for us to understand what Clause 7(1) says. This will have a bearing on Sub-clause 2 of that. This Sub-clause 2 talks of Sub-clause 1 of Clause 7. Unless we amend Clause 7 first--- view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with the amendments which have been done, I think the Bill will serve both parties. It is not just the woman; most of the time we ignore the man. Men in marriage, probably where we come from, Central Kenya; have been on the receiving end and they also need protection. I think this Bill is going to endangered men. I support the Bill. view
