• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Now, you wonder who was supposed to respond to this intelligence information on Westgate. We know that if at all the information was given, it was the police who were supposed to have acted on it. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, when you come to the recommendations there is nothing that touches on the issue of the police. Many Kenyans lost their lives. My family was also caught in that Westgate terror attack, and it is high time that this Report became decisive. If the police slept on the job they must take responsibility. Unfortunately the Report is silent about that. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this country is now insecure. Look at what happened in Likoni. Churches and mosques are becoming insecure. Now, we do not know where we are going to be safe. It is high time security agencies acted. We must have a radical surgery of security agencies. I went to Kenyatta National Hospital (KNH) to visit some of the Likoni victims. I met this one-and-a-half-year old boy in whose head a bullet is lodged. It is an ugly incident. The mother, who was shielding him, died. The bullet killed his mother and got into the baby’s head. It is high ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, much as this Report is above average, when you look at the recommendations they are not actionable, and it is high time reports were decisive when they come on the Floor of the House; measures must be put in place, so that action can be taken. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, we condemn terrorism in the strongest terms. view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Yes; even if I support it we have issues of gaps in the Report which I am trying to put across, so that we improve in future. This is because in any report, there must be consistency and logical flow. When you look at the observations, if at all the NIS came out clearly and said they warned that this was going to happen, then that means the police slept on the job. So, it goes without saying when it comes to recommendations that there must be actions that the police are supposed to take, so that the same incident ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: What action are we taking against the element of looting, especially in relation to the head of the military? We had cases of uncoordinated response when it came to the security matter. We know it very well. We were told that there was a woman among the terrorists, but up to now we do not know whether there was a woman. We were told that the terrorists were killed. Where are the bodies? The issue here is that while the Report is out, it has not passed the test of time. It is important that the next time we have ... view
• 26 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: In the Report it is said that the planning of the Westgate attack was done at Kakuma Refugee Camp. The question is this: How did those people enter this country? Where did they get passports from? Some of them had work permits. All this is done at the Department of Immigration. It is high time this House debated this objectively, so that a radical action is taken. We want to thank His Excellency the President and the Leader of CORD. At the time of the Westgate attack, we saw the leadership of both Jubilee and CORD come out. They went ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support this Bill. If you look at the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC), for instance, one of the critical things that it is supposed to have done is to put in place a remuneration policy. We are having the problem of the wage bill because the SRC has failed in its mandate. So, when you look at this Bill, there is a recommendation that their budget should be reduced. Indeed, we support that because if you are given a job and there is no output, it is useless. The SRC, by now, should have put ... view
• 25 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: When you look at the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the office has been allocated money. You find that many people in this country are behind bars because of poor investigation. A lot of research has been done and showed that because of the poor investigations that we have in this country, people are suffering. So, by strengthening the DPP, it will enable the office to employ professionals who can investigate matters in a professional manner. We have a lot of cases. This is also an issue of the Judiciary. The issue of saying that Kshs.500 million was diverted from ... view
