• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the amendment by hon. Waiganjo. He speaks to the spirit of what law making ought to be and should be. If you look at Section 8(a)(i), the amendment seeks to interrupt the Constitution in that section. It reads in part that:- “The Section shall mean that the Inspector-General shall be responsible for all matters relating to the command---” This particular amendment seeks to interrupt a constitutional provision in an amendment of a statute. I really think that without giving it so much attention, I want to support the fact that should ... view

• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I would like to support the proposal by hon. Waiganjo. In my opinion, the Constitution does anticipate two things, firstly, that the President shall appoint the Inspector-General by approval from Parliament. That is constitutionally guaranteed. The second thing that the Constitution speaks to is the fact that, that process ought to be initiated by the Commission. So, Article 246(3)(a) speaks to the fact that, yes, the President does have the final word in terms of appointing the Inspector-General, with the approval of Parliament, but the institution that is supposed to The electronic version of the Official ... view

• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I always try to be in the House whenever I have put in a request but I appreciate it. My heart goes out to the people of South Sudan. It is my belief and understanding that this youngest nation, some work in terms of bringing it back are in order. I would like to support this Motion for the sending of extra KDF to South Sudan. I think Kenya will be doing well in terms of keeping to its international obligations as was in the 25th Summit of IGAD where Kenya committed to the sending of troops, being ... view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: As we send our troops to South Sudan, I think it is important for us to have clear obligations and mandate to the KDF. Of course, we will remember that when our troops went to Somalia, there were allegations of troops engaging in the sale of charcoal and other atrocities. We do not want that from the KDF and that is why we need to have specific and special mandate of the KDF forces that we will be deploying. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, time is running out for South Sudan. I really think that we should, hopefully, conclude this debate today, so that we have extra Kenyan troops in South Sudan so that we can help in the peace-building process. I really think that the perpetrators have gone contrary to the agreements that they signed under the IGAD, under the cessation of hostilities. Therefore, IGAD Heads of Summit need to do something to force the perpetrators and the various parties to come into a better agreement in terms of how to sort out issues in that country. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Otherwise, we will be sending out our troops. I know the handicap of peace- keeping troops is that they cannot engage in active hostilities. That is why you really need a proper way in which Africa can engage either to have combat issues so that, apart from just doing peace-keeping, there are ways and means of protecting the various civilians who are hopelessly being killed in South Sudan. view
• 24 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I support this Motion. I really urge that we do act with speed to send the troops to South Sudan. Thank you. view
