• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: “There are emerging intelligence reports that seem to be touching on matters of security, peace and tranquility of the residents of Kumpa and Orinie locations and Impiro Sub-location. The successful candidates that you authorized to be appointment were issued with appointment letters. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: In an effort to maintain and promote peace, security and harmony, I advised the three administrative units be re-advertised so that fresh interviews can be conducted.” The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: So, there is already a report from the ground that there were issues that were touching on security, tranquility, peace and harmony in that area. That is why the Government took that decision. They will appear before the interview as said on 11th March, 2014. Let the best candidate win. Therefore, that is the position. I want to be categorical that I will not delve into their local issues. We will give a Statement as the Committee on Administration and National Security. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Before I go to hon. (Maj-Gen.) Nkaissery’s issues, I just want to confirm to the House that qualifications of a chief and sub-chief is Form Four certificate of C- (Minus) especially in the so-called high potential areas, where people are highly educated. There is always a provision to exempt people from pastoralist areas that were ignored by so many regimes to the extent that there are very few people who have that kind of qualification. In fact, very few educated people in those areas prefer to be chiefs. Most of them want to go to other areas. So, it can ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, there is no need. We will not invite the Cabinet Secretary as he has already given us all the information. We only need information from hon. Nkaissery and then we table it in Parliament. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, especially in the area of chiefs and their scheme of service, I am an authority on this matter. We used to have the old scheme of service until the NARC Government came in. When the NARC Government came in hon. Murungaru actually came up with a scheme that one must be a Form Four and with a C-(Minus) and above for one to merit. Of course that was to be considered alongside other considerations, for example, one must have a clean record, development conscious and so on. There are other things that are normally looked into. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, then again the late hon. Michuki came up with a special scheme of service that every Assistant Chief could actually rise up to the level of a Principal Chief. That is Assistant Chief Grade II all the way to Senior Chief and Principal Chief. So, that is the highest position that a chief can attain. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, that was the policy then and the scheme of service is there in black and white. We can table it in this House but because of the pressure from the leaders from the pastoral communities and because of lack of interest in some of those people from pastoral areas, the Government relaxed those provisions so that they can get chiefs in places like in Marsabit, Turkana, Pokot. Most of the “dotcoms” in those areas would prefer to join other sectors. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Speaker, that is the position and I want to say I am an authority in that area. You can even approach me privately. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, first of all, I want to say that these are outstanding clauses in this amendment Bill. When we left this House, we got the news that the late President Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela passed on. I want to pass my condolences to him and the family posthumously. Having said that, I beg to move that Clause 5 be amended in paragraph (a) by deleting the words “and approval of the Cabinet Secretary” appearing in the proposed new paragraph A. This is to ensure that the Cabinet Secretary shall not be deemed to be interfering with the internal ... view
