• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: 1. There was general information on the impending terror attack on all shopping malls and other strategic Western interests, especially in Nairobi County. The information was made available to the relevant security officers in Nairobi County. 2. There was general laxity amongst the police divisions over the terror alerts within Nairobi County. 3. An elite police squad from Recce Company of the General Service Unit (GSU) had contained the terrorists at one corner of the mall. However, there was poor coordination during the change-over to the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) from and police units. 4. There was looting of business ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: 5. On the refugee camps, we want to be very specific because the Ministry had promised that it would take action. We recommend that Dadaab Refugee Camp, which includes Dagahaley, Ifo, Ifo II, Hagdera and Kambios camps, as well as Kakuma Refugee Camps, should be closed and resident refugees repatriated to their countries of origin. The recent signing of the tripartite agreement by the Government of Kenya, the Republic of Somalia and the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) is a step in the right direction, but we need expeditious action from the Ministry with a view to actually ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. First I want to apologize for coming late. In the morning I joined the Members of the Executive, led by His Excellency the President to witness the passing out parade of General Service Unit at Embakasi and I thought I would be here in good time. So, I am sorry, hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: On the two Statements, I just want to say that I had actually responded to them, so we do not need to go back to them. I want to be given some extra time next week so that I can make up for the lost time, but otherwise I had responded to both of them. view

• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I responded to the one by hon. Diriye and I remember hon. Lentoimaga responded to the one by hon. Kombe. view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for granting me the opportunity to support the deployment of our forces to South Sudan. I speak as a scholar in international relations and as an authority in South Sudan issues. I had the privilege of being a chief guest in Juba when they were campaigning for the referendum. I was there with hon. Ethuro and Charles Kilonzo and I was the chief guest in that forum. We advised the people of South Sudan then to use their ballots and not the barrel of the gun. We told them that the time of killing and maiming ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I know without peace in South Sudan, even our LAPSSET Project, which is one of the most highly funded projects in Africa at the moment will actually come to a halt. As we speak, the Kenyans in South Sudan are actually suffering, those who have been doing business there. They have not actually enjoyed the reciprocity that we have been giving the people of South Sudan in this country. They come here and most of them are our friends, we even enjoy beers with them in Hurlingham and other places, but they should not forget their country. The electronic version ... view
• 24 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: As we deploy our men and women to South Sudan, we want them to be neutral, and not to take sides. I know one of my Members in the committee is actually an envoy trying to broker peace in that area, hon. Dalmas Otieno. He wants to be the future President of one of our parties in the former Nyanza Province. At the moment, the situation is so precarious and risky that business is about to actually come to a halt in that country. We are being told that the Kenya Commercial Bank is pulling out, I know that it ... view
• 19 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. This is a grave matter that has to be addressed by our security personnel, because the people of Belgut and Nyakach have always lived in peace. We need to address this matter as a matter of urgency. In fact, as a Committee, we are planning to visit that area this week or next week among other areas in Nyanza. We will give the information in two weeks’ time. view
