• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Once again, is the Member in order to tell this House that this is a known fact? Known by whom and where? Cattle rustling is theft and it is known. These are criminals and are apprehended any time the law catches up with them. How can the Member keep on saying that cattle rustling is a cultural practice? It is not! view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Motion. I think there is a lot of misunderstanding by some hon. Members on the roles that have been bestowed upon the KPR in this country. The Constitution, in Article 247, allows for the existence of these kinds of officers, the reason being the inadequate deployment of regular security personnel across the country. That is the biggest challenge in the ASAL areas. We are talking about the vastness of those regions and the lack of development that have made the policing of those areas a ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: police a population of 245,000 Kenyans bordering the Republic of South Sudan and Uganda. It is a nightmare. From experience, I know that recruiting KPRs in those areas can help. So, this Motion is very timely. Therefore, I urge the hon. Members of this House to support it. One thing we should note is that KPRs are not only being used to tackle cattle rustling in those regions. They have, in fact, taken up the responsibilities that are carried out by regular police officers due to inadequate deployment of regular officers. They are charged with the responsibility of getting to ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: The other thing that I want to say here is that there is a challenge of the regular police and other security officers manning areas that they do not understand the terrain. So, the KPRs have come handy in helping the regular police and the other forces to pursue cattle rustlers when they strike. There is also a challenge of where livelihoods are got from in these regions, where the regular police cannot be following people to attend to their daily livelihoods. You cannot ask regular police officers to be escorting women and men to herd their cattle five, ten ... view

• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is the first time I am speaking in this House. I would like to move a Motion for Adjournment of the House to discuss a definite urgent matter of national importance. I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, pursuant to Standing Order No.33(1) I seek leave to move the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the general state of insecurity in Turkana West Constituency.

• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, for the chance to move the Motion for Adjournment of the House to discuss a matter of national importance, pursuant to the Standing Order No.33(1). I seek the adjournment of the House for the purpose of discussing the general state of insecurity in Turkana West Constituency. This is because of the number of people who have so far been killed in the constituency by warriors from our neighbouring country, South Sudan, who have settled on Kenyan territory. Just to give a bit of a background of this, in mid April this year, there was a ... view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is time this House dealt with insecurity in this country with a toothcomb and gave very clear directions as to how our people and their properties will be protected. We are creating vulnerability by allowing persons who are not supposed to be in Kenya to reside in Kenya. What will we do about the families of those who died? view
