• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I confirm that, indeed, the hon. Member reported the matter. Investigations were carried out but, as I said earlier, if he listened carefully, by the time we discovered that error or anomaly, it was already too late to make any corrections because letters inviting the recruits to report had already been issued. You will agree with me that those people are Kenyans. They are residents of Narok South and it would have been unfair to withdraw the letters. Therefore, that is why we took the action of giving that assurance to the hon. Member. We even ... view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when you have a website, as the hon. Member knows, you deposit in it whatever information you think is necessary. In our view, indeed, it would not be in our national interest to post on our website information showing how many people we recruit. It is a matter of national security! You cannot say in your website, how many soldiers you have. That will be giving an advantage to your potential enemies! view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to emphasize here that in Narok South as, indeed, in every district, we recruited people based on identity cards. If you produced an identity card of district A, you belong to that district. But I want to confirm that we are now being sensitive to the issue Mr. ole Lankas is raising; that some communities are larger than others. Therefore, when we are distributing those slots, we should take into account the population. This is a matter that has not, in the past, been seriously put into account. I am assuring the House that, ... view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a lot of respect for my friend Mr. M. Kamau but I have not understood his point of order. For his benefit, we said that the Office of the President supplies us with the names of divisions that form a district so that when we go to a district to recruit, we have already been directed by the Office of the President and particularly the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. Therefore, we follow the Office of the President’s instructions accordingly. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am quite in order! I have said and I want to repeat it here--- view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me I assure the House that as leaders, for example, if Mr. Mungatana wants any information, he can come and we shall give him the information that he wants. He will see the computers that we have in our Ministry. It is better for Mr. Mungatana to get the information that he requires than for me to announce to the world how many forces we have. view
• 27 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been very serious. As I said, we took appropriate and immediate action to investigate. It was not a mistake but an anomaly because the dominant community did not get its rightful share. I did assure the hon. Member and the House that in future, not only in Narok South District, whenever there is more than on community residing in an area, we will ensure that before recruitment, we view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have a lot of respect for my friend hon. Khalwale. However, he is treading on dangerous grounds. I have listened to him very carefully. Standing Order No.79 bars hon. Members from discussing matters relating to a Head of State of a friendly nation. If Dr. Khalwale could continue with his debate without making so much reference to a Head of State of a friendly country, I think he will be in order. Otherwise, now he is out of order. view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair has very correctly ruled that this Government is heavily represented in the House. In the spirit of collective responsibility, I do not think that there is anything missing. Hon. Affey claims that Ministers are not taking notes. Does he need to see the notes I have already taken to believe that I have taken notes? view
• 13 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I stand here to support the Motion--- view
