• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Those practices will engage communities more in a manner that will give us long term solutions as opposed to dealing with the symptoms which will be like arming the KPRs and occasionally calling in security.

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: The second thing I would like to propose, apart from the various modes of engagement, is the use of technology in tracking cattle that have been stolen so that we are able to avoid revenge attacks. We will avoid revenge attacks if we use technology to identify cattle that has been stolen and report in time the livestock that has been stolen. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Whereas it is a good thing to arm the KPRs, to end the problem that we tend to deal – and which is cattle rustling - a more holistic approach will be the best approach as opposed to arming KPRs. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I support this Motion and request the Mover to look at what we are trying to deal with as a country. If it is the issue of cattle rustling, then we need a modest approach. But if it is a problem of trying to improve the welfare of KPRs, that should be given consideration. That is because KPRs will be the best in terms of helping Kenya reduce insecurity. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for giving me a chance. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my intervention is on the same issue. Whereas I appreciate the dilemma of hon. Kaluma because this Motion is very convoluted, the two speakers before me have sufficiently responded to him. The first thing is what the provisions of Article 247 of the Constitution say; also, the clarification hon. F.K. wanyonyi has given can be read as the interpretation of Article 239(4), which gives any person the power to establish a military or para-military or a similar organisation to promote national security in accordance with an Act of Parliament. So, The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: this Motion is in order and should be debated. The only problem is that it is very convoluted, and touches on three big topics, which can be segregated and discussed differently. This Motion is very much in order. view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this amendment. The import of this amendment is that, first, it makes the CDF Act now constitutional and it saves the Members the headache that we have been going through with the county governors. Article 206 now gives us the chance to make sure that there is no conflict in terms of the additional funding. The funding is going to directly support the Members in their work. This will help to harmonize functions in the county governments. This amendment cures a lot of mischief that was done in terms of enacting the CDF ... view
• 6 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Lastly, I welcome the proposal of the CDF Committee that the number of employees need not be restricted. If you also look at the job descriptions that were highlighted in terms of the people who were supposed to be employed as CDF employees at the constituency, those job descriptions are not in tandem with what the CDF Act hopes and anticipates. So, amongst many other things, apart from just extending the purview of the number of employees that we can have at the constituency level, we also need to properly re-look at how we can have the job descriptions to ... view
• 25 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to make a presentation on behalf of 38 Kenyans, most of them from the civil society. The petition is about the reduction of the Government Recurrent Expenditure and an increment of Developmental Expenditure. It states as follows:- We, the undersigned citizens of the Republic of Kenya and taxpayers, draw the attention of the House to the following:- view
