• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not have a signed Statement but almost two months ago, I requested a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Education, Research and Technology regarding some students who were expelled by the South Eastern University College--- view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Two students from my constituency and almost four from Kisii County were expelled on the allegations of being involved in skirmishes in the university. They were not given a chance to defend themselves. I have been taken round in circles by the Chairperson for more than three days now. The university programmes are now running while the students are still at home. Therefore, I kindly request the Chairperson to tell us the position of the six students who were expelled for six years. These are young people aged 18 years, who have been expelled for six years. The electronic version ... view

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the hon. Member is talking of one week. I have already said that the students have been out for almost a semester now. I thought she would be talking about this afternoon, and not a week or tomorrow. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think the Motion before this House is very important, especially to areas where there is rampant cattle rustling. Some of us may not appreciate the KPRs until they visit Kerio Valley and understand Suguta Valley, Tana River, Todonyang in Turkana and Garbara in Fafi. These are areas with serious insecurity or cattle rustling. We are talking about a few policemen in Kenya, and we urge the Government to increase them, or seek the services of the KPRs to support the Kenya police. In Marakwet East, which is my constituency, I want to commend the ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, with regard to KPR, some of us, hon. Members from the cattle rustling prone areas, visited the Attorney-General and raised this issue. Someone was talking about the KPR being civilians, and I think the term is “Kenya police” and not Marakwet, Pokot or Tana River Police. The Kenya Police Reservists are sometimes called “Sabot Police” or by other term depending on the area of operation. When there is need for an operation, they can be taken from Marakwet to north eastern Kenya, or from Coast Province to Western Province to support the Kenya Police. So, they are ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, one of the hon. Members said that when recruiting KPR officers, we need also to exercise a lot of caution so that we get the very good people, so that we do not again end up recruiting cattle rustlers to be KPR officers. Remember these are people with guns, and if we do not do proper vetting, we might recruit criminals. We are talking of ending insecurity and you may find that tomorrow, they are escalating insecurity in their areas. So, what we are seeking is proper payment, proper police uniforms and boots, so that they are ... view
