• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Speaker. as you have clearly indicated, when we were finalizing this, there was a lot of convincing each other, that we present a unanimous Report. But some of us stood our ground and we said no. That is because of the respective candidates that we had issues with. As we signed this, as you clearly put it, it was about attendance. Then, later on, they were to provide a list for us to sign for adoption. When I came this morning, I was expecting my Chair to give me this to sign. I indicated to him that ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: I have a right and so, if you push me too much, I will name them. You do not pick just anybody to be an ambassador. This is somebody who must be able to understand the issues of the two countries - the bilateral agreements; somebody who can represent the country. But not somebody who can go out there to embarrass us! As a representative of the President, they must have the qualifications that are required. We encourage our children to go to school and people to study in this country. We want people to be appointed as ambassadors, people ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for your objective ruling and, indeed, I will not be intimidated by anyone because I have the brains to defend myself here. It is the highest time our Chair pulled up his socks because this is an embarrassment to the Committee and, in any case, it is not me to be named! The Chair should be the one to be named over this matter. That is because of showing incompetence on the Floor of the House. view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is, indeed, an important moment and we must support those people who have been appointed to become ambassadors. One thing I want to say is that - and it is my humble request - before they are sent out of missions, they should be taken for training, which is very important. I know we have a school of diplomacy. We should not allow some of them to go out there and become an embarrassment not only to the President of this Country, but to the people of Kenya. But there are some important ambassadors here who responded ... view

• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: ( Hon. Mwinyi consulted his colleague ) view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I had mentioned that those people should be taken for training before they go out - especially the new ones. I am saying this because when we did an average we had those who showed incompetence. So, it will be nice if they can be taken for some training before they go out there to avoid embarrassment to His Excellency the President and us. view

• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to seek some clarification from the Chairman of the Committee regarding the Nyumba Kumi initiative. We are also aware that criminals have also formed their own “ nyumba kumi ” initiatives through which they get to know criminals in each particular society. So, criminals in society “A” gang up and attack criminals in society “D” because they are not yet known. So, in that connection, I want the Chair to give us a cost benefit analysis. Much as the Nyumba Kumi initiative has worked very well in other jurisdictions like Tanzania, is there any ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, when is the draft national policy likely to be brought to Parliament? Were all the stakeholders involved in its development? I have personally been heavily involved in security matters. We have not been called, as Members of Parliament, to get involved in the development of the draft policy. When are we going to get involved, as the key stakeholders? When is it supposed to be brought to this House, so that we can debate it? Lastly, talking of the Nyumba Kumi initiative, it cannot go without the village elders, who play a very critical role. So, does the Government ... view
