• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want clarification concerning Clause 18. view
• 12 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. I wish to thank the sponsor of the Bill, hon. Ganya. This is a very important Bill. The National Drought Management Authority has been a very weak organisation. I think with this Bill this organisation will be able to respond to drought and the issues of development, particularly in the Arid and Semi Arid Lands (ASALs). Through this Bill we are clearly seeing the responsibility between the national center and the periphery which is the grassroots governments at the county. I beg to support. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, with the benefit of hindsight, I thought that hon. Wamalwa refused to be informed. The four pillars on which the process of integration is anchored--- view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, what I was saying is that the process of integration is a continuum of the various processes. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I join hon. Nyokabi in supporting the Motion and also in condemning what has happened to our people out there, particularly in Saudi Arabia. view
• 29 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Sanctity to life is universal. It is not just the laws of Kenya. It is international law. When Kenyans as global citizens move out there, they are entitled to rights and protection like the citizens of those countries. There are several complaints that have been presented. Kenyans are hoodwinked to move out to the Middle East to work as maybe, clerks or accountants, only for them to end up becoming labourers and to do toiling and back-breaking jobs for which in the first place, they did not sign for. This House is on record that the Committee on Defence and ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I rise to support the nomination of Major-Gen. Kameru for the post of Director-General, NIS. I served with him in the KDF. I want to say this to hon. Members, particularly hon. Midiwo, General Kameru is a good leader, and I believe he will make a good leader when he goes to the NIS. He is a good listener. I think what we politicians want is that those in the Executive must listen to us and the voices of the people. Hon. Speaker, General Kameru is also a fair, respectable, and professional officer, who has served this country ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I served in Somalia and the person I was directly reporting to was Gen. Kameru, who was the head of the Directorate of Military Intelligence under Operation Linda Nchi, which was the biggest operation unertaken by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) since the Shifta wars of 1960s and early 1970s. I think because of good targeted intelligence that was done under Gen. Kameru, the Kenyan troops were able to enter Somalia. Due to that, Kenyan troops have been able to work effortlessly with the local population. The attack on Kismayu, which the Kenyan troops were able to enter--- ... view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. This is a very serious case. When hon. (Ms.) Duri lodged this statement in the House, she had a clear purpose as to what action the Government should take. The clarification I am seeking from the Vice-Chairman is if the complaints have been filed with the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA). Secondly, I am wondering whether Madogo Police Station is the right station to investigate that particular case. That is because from the Statement that has been read to this House, actually that police station is culpable of the crime that had been committed. view
• 21 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Speaker. The issue of the East African Community (EAC) is very important. It is at the core of the original discussion today. We are using taxpayers’ money to be involved in the EAC. We, in this House, must be very well versed with the Community and the issues that are prevailing. That is because there are important Bills which will be brought before this House. As a Committee, we wish as many Members as possible to contribute to them. That is because, at some point, some of them will have effect on the legislation and ... view
