• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Just a minute, hon. Deputy Speaker. Like in my new constituency, we are spread to two districts and I do not know where my people will go for recruitment; is it Maua or Lare? view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support the extension of the period for this ad hoc Committee. The Chairperson of the Committee has indicated that the Committee has been sitting regularly since its inception. Being a Member of that Committee, we had a number of people who wanted to give information with regard to miraa . We have talked to various institutions, as the Chairlady has said and the list is still long. We feel that we need to exhaust all the avenues so that we give a conclusive report, notwithstanding whether it is negative or ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: trying to purport. We have also put into place a programme on how to proceed with this matter. I would like to tell this House that the reports we have been receiving, especially from various quarters have not been conclusive as it has been said. Some institutions have come to us and said that they are not ready with the information that we require. Others say that they need time to prepare the report. We are giving them time so that they can give the same conclusive reports which we can use. We have been calling NACADA. They appeared before ... view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I retract my words. view
• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I strongly support the idea that we be given the extension sought because there are institutions that we need to interview. There are various places we need to go to and come up with proper information. We also need time to compile our report. When we were given this particular task, we did not know its enormity. As I conclude, let me point out the fact that the Chairperson of this Committee is hardworking and committed. Since this is an ad hoc Committee, we could not have told her to step down because she was in ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Motion. The Motion is well intended and I support it. But when we talk of arming civilians and giving them AK47s and other sophisticated weapons; we are going to open a pandora’s box, whereby one legal gun will give birth to two illegal guns. That is what is happening. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I happen to come from a constituency which has been perennially the hub of cattle rustling. That is Igembe Central, Meru County, and people from our neighbouring district are the ones who steal cows from us. Meru people do not steal cows. So, we have become an ATM box for picking cows and taking them to the other community. Hon. Deputy Speaker, when we talk of arming the KPRs, as one hon. Member has said, the weapons are given in discriminatory manner whereby some communities will get guns and others will not get. So, when you are ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, secondly, we have got another problem. The problem is that when those cows are stolen and the leaders go and meet, it is the same leaders who assist in hiding those cows in their communities. As we talk, every other day we go to the security people to tell them that our cows from Meru, Igembe and Tigania have gone to Samburu. We then go and locate where those cows are but then the leaders there, including the chiefs who are supposed to assist in this business of returning the cows, assist in hiding them. So, if ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: So, hon. Deputy Speaker, I strongly support the Motion which is well intended, but I will not support the idea of giving the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) or the people who are grazing those cows guns. Let guns be with the trained people – the people who know how to handle them. We have them in our systems. Let the KPRs, regular police, Anti-Stock Theft Unit (ASTU) and the General Service Unit (GSU) have guns, but we should not arm civilians. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: I beg to support, but let us not give guns to the people. Thank you. view
