• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for, at least, finally shedding light on this issue that has been here for a long time. But if you look at the answer he has given to part “a”--- Part “a” asks: “What is the ratio of the KPR view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: the other established security forces?” The Assistant Minister has conveniently not responded to the other established forces. What this Government has done where I come from is to make the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) be known as Kufa Pamoja na Raia. The Government has not deployed security forces who are properly remunerated and given allowances when they are on duty. However, that is for you to determine. Why did it take the Assistant Minister so long, from the time they were recruiting the additional officers in October last year, to now come to ask for another three months? Three months ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister is quoting Section 113(2) of the Act in terms of a reserve police officer receiving such pay and allowances as may be prescribed by a police officer when on duty. The KPRs in Turkana County are permanently on duty because of the continuous threat by the people attacking them. What special compensation mechanism is he proposing for those KPRs that are in constant threat and are actually doing a good job on behalf of the Government rather than waiting for the Inspector-General to pay them honoraria when and if they are on duty? ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You know this House refers always to the ruling of the Chair. We have no reason whatsoever to challenge your ruling. However, we are not discussing the conduct of the Judiciary or a judicial officer. Mr. Mungatana, in fact, put it so eloquently and professionally that according to this Constitution, there are some reasonable conditions in which the Government can dispense justice. The same Constitution hon. Mureithi read further says in Article 159(d) that:- “Justice shall be administered without undue regard to procedural technicalities.” This House has a responsibility to this ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the honourable Maj-Gen. Nkaisserry to tell this House that he cannot explain how people disappeared because he was not with them and yet he is supposed to get that information to the House? We do not expect the Assistant Minister to be the one in combat, but he must get the proper information of what happened. Is the Assistant Minister in order to claim that he cannot explain how those soldiers disappeared because he was not with them? view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Question is about the youths engaged in lawful business. Is the Assistant Minister in order to treat youths engaged in lawful business as suspects engaged in illegal activities like gun trafficking? view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You really have to protect us from this Assistant Minister! He is misleading this nation! If you remember, when the Assistant Minister appeared before the Liaison Committee of this House, he said that that same bridge would be mobile. He is now talking of the existence of a patrol base manning the bridge, and the security base is permanent. We also went there this year, as the Budget Committee. The roadblock was still there. He is now making it criminal for hawkers to sell their wares to travellers. Is it in ... view
• 6 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This afternoon, this House has demanded specific timelines. A Question of this nature and magnitude cannot be left to the whims of the Assistant Minister to tell us the week after next week. What is that? We want to be given a specific date. He said he was ready to go when the Member is ready. The Member has said that he is ready even now. We cannot be speaking about employment for our youth and an Assistant Minister who is responsible for employment in this country is playing around. Is ... view
