10 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Motion and I want to say on the outset that I support the Motion. This country has gone without a commission on ethics and anti-corruption for a very long time and there is no doubt that the whole country is looking at this House to provide leadership and appoint suitable Kenyans to undertake the very important task of checking on ethics and corruption issues of this country. It is a long time and hon. Members will recall that, as everyone else has said, we had ...

There is no doubt, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that His Excellency Mwai Kibaki has, during his term in office, performed very well, particularly in terms of economic and social development. He has done very well and he deserves the congratulations of this House.

However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are challenges, as in any leadership. I think, as a House, we must take note and possibly request that during the period that the President has remaining, he should in a way address issues which we think are of concern to this country. Therefore, in the next eight or so minutes, I would like to attempt to mention some of the issues that I think are still remaining as major challenges to His Excellency’s Government.

First, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is security. I join the President in applauding our defence forces. They have done us proud by the manner in which they have carried out their assignment in Somalia. This House authorized the amalgamation of our forces into the African Union (AU) force; this process has now been completed. Therefore, we can look forward to maintenance of peace and security under the AU/UN in Somalia.

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, our internal security leaves much to be desired. We have seen many challenges in internal security and many remain. Even the issues we are talking about like youth fighting here and there, all can be related to matters of internal security. Therefore, it is a major security of internal security; I would like to ask that the President addresses this issue as seriously as possible. The casual manner in which our security forces are going round in the country and clobbering people all over will not solve internal security issues. They need to address the ...

25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the President has been commended many times on infrastructure. Indeed, those of us who live in the city can see; those of us who live or who travel through certain provinces can see that, yes, the Government has done a lot of work in improving infrastructure. But one hon. Member has challenged the President and the Government; there is the manner in which this infrastructure has been distributed. During the last 15 years that I have been a Member of this House, I have decried the marginalization of certain areas when it comes to infrastructure. How ...
