• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in your ruling this afternoon, you said very well that the Committee’s output will only be as good as the Members of that particular Committee. Committees ought to be responsible to the citizens of this country. If this Committee is responsible to the citizens of this country, we need someone to take responsibility for not acting on the intelligence that they were given prior to the attack at the Westgate Mall. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The second observation, which is very good, is that there was general laxity among the police over terror alert within Nairobi County. Police is relaxed yet we pay them using taxpayers’ money. Kenyans, including families that went to have coffee or people who went to have fun on a Saturday afternoon, died. There was laxity and then there is no recommendation towards that direction. What kind of Report is this? view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Because my time is running out, let me speak on the last recommendation. It says that the Recce Company of the GSU had contained all the terrorists in one corner. There was, however, poor co-ordination during the handover.Who ordered the handover? If Recce Company was doing a good job--- Why do you not let somebody who is doing a good job finish doing it? Someone, for whatever reasons, wanted a handover; there was an attack and no one is held responsible. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Because my time is running out, I really think that this Report should not be adopted in its current form. The Committee owes us an explanation. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 24 Mar 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 Mar 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 Mar 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 Mar 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 Mar 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
