• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Chair said that the Nyumba Kumi initiative is being used in Marsabit County to help counter insecurity issues. Whatever view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: is, it could be a very good initiative, but the circumstances of Marsabit County, if you find how the conflict is planned and how it happens, half of it is planned in pastoral land. How would you then have Nyumba Kumi in a pastoral settlement to help initiate these things? He also talks about peace committees being established. Peace committees have been in Marsabit for the longest time possible. What is so new in these peace committees the Government has established that they are going to help the Marsabit County enjoy lasting peace? I wish you could give me more ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Speaker, for giving me this chance to speak. Before I speak, first of all, allow me to thank you for nominating me and hon. (Ms.) Mitaru, the Embu CWR, to represent the National Assembly at the Commonwealth Parliamentary Session on Human Rights Forum. It was a good learning session in protecting and promoting human rights. I do thank you for that. Having made those preliminary remarks, I would like to say that I oppose the adoption of this Report in its current form. Looking at this Report, it is a report that lacks in content ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: intelligence and security organs in the country. Of course, the Committee was free to expand its mandate as it did; they did undertake more trips to Kilifi, Garissa and other places that had been the subject of terrorist attacks. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to put my objection to this Report in two parts. First, I would like to speak to recommendations and, if time allows me, then I will look at the observations and juxtapose them with what was supposed to be their terms or mandate. Recommendation No.4 reads as follows:- “The refugees Act, 2006 should be repealed.” If you look at the current Refugees Act 2006, in my opinion and observation--- I have spent time reading the Refugees Act. There is no document as comprehensive as the Refugees Act, which can actually help Kenya deal with the menace of ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: reading these recommendations in juxtaposition to what was the Committee’s mandate, which had a specific reference to the Wastegate Mall attack. How did you make a recommendation that the war against terrorism should be intensified within and outside the country? How does that relate to the issues of Westgate Mall attack? view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is possible to go on and on. The third recommendation says that there should be radical surgery at the Department of Immigration. That is really blanket because no observations point at why you want to do a radical surgery at that Department. The officials there could be corrupt, but none of the observations point to an activity that would make you want to have a radical surgery at the Department of Immigration. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, permit me, because I might be running out of time, to now look at what were really cogent Committee’s observations. With regard to the Committee’s mandate, we were hoping that someone sitting in the Committee - the co-Chair, hon. Kamama, is a very good friend of mine – would have given recommendations on these observations. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The first one was that there was general information on the impending terror attack at the Mall and other places in Nairobi. This means that someone did his job and gave intelligence reports to someone else who did not act on those reports. My understanding is that a recommendation would have been targeting that person who did not act on the intelligence report because it was availed. Someone is doing his job but someone else is sleeping on the job. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: That particular recommendation is not in this Report. The co-Chairs take us on a mumbo- jumbo trip on which radical surgery should be done without pointing fingers at where this surgery ought to be done; someone should take responsibility. Who did not act on the intelligence report and why? That is a recommendation that I was hoping that this hon. Chair, after spending taxpayers’ money--- view
