• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: I am much obliged, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have it even now, if he wants it. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The total number of personnel recruited in the countrywide exercise was 1,800. (b) Eight candidates were recruited from Igembe North District and the breakdown is as follows:- Mutuati got two; Ndoleli got two; Lare got three and Igembe North got one, making a total of eight. (c) I am not aware that two of those recruited do not come from Igembe North District. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first and foremost, I want to inform this House that the military personnel who go to recruit only use ID cards as a means of identifying the candidates and knowing where they come from. The House will appreciate that, recently, there has been reorganization of administrative areas and, therefore, what we did was to recruit people based on their ID cards. I want to confirm to the House that the eight people recruited had their ID cards showing clearly that they came from the area. As the hon. Member has requested, I have the pleasure to lay ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a good question. I also want to inform the House that the number of recruits from the districts depended on the number of people from those communities currently serving in the armed forces. You will appreciate that the new Constitution states very clearly that the number of people employed in the armed forces must be proportionate to the population. Therefore, the number of people to be recruited per district was based on the number of personnel from communities in Kenya. We are able to determine the number every community will get regardless of the number ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, maybe because the Chair was consulting, it did not hear what the hon. Member said. The hon. Member made a generalized allegation that money changed hands and he is unable to substantiate that allegation. I want to persuade this House to avoid tarnishing the good names of officers of the military purely on allegations. I want to confirm that if any allegations are proven or evidence is given, action is always taken. Having said that, I want to confirm also that even when medical examinations and other verifications are done in the field, there is a final ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, the re-organisation of districts and the additional districts did not mean that the numbers to be recruited were to be increased. We have 284 districts from the original 41, but the numbers to be recruited are the same. The number per the old districts is the same and, therefore, you divide the number for the old district into many new districts. That is why districts are getting smaller numbers. This is because we are not increasing the number to recruit. We are only recruiting to replace those who have retired and those who ... view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the one the hon. Member is alleging that does not belong to Igembe North belongs to Igembe South. These two districts were one district before. Therefore, people might have taken identification cards from another area. I want to emphasise that the people we recruited are from Igembe North District. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member alleges that Mike Thuranira Mugambi, I.D No.27821881 is not from Igembe North. It may be so physically, but his ID card was taken in Igembe North and, therefore, by virtue of him having an ID card from Igembe North, he is from Igembe North. view
• 27 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
