• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Committee made a very serious recommendation on the UNHCR and particularly refugees, and I want to address this particular matter. There are two places in this country that shoulder the burden of the refuges that come into Kenya, on behalf of the rest country. We want to be proud as Kenyans that we are hosting people who are running from pain, death and mystery. That role we must continue playing, just the way we are trying to make sure that there is peace in Somalia. We also facilitated the Comprehensive Peace Agreement in Southern ... view
• 12 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to repeat the recommendation by hon. Affey and we have repeated this in Kakuma where we have a refugee camp. We also want to repeat this in Dadaab where we have a refugee camp. We have economic refugees in this country. That is the essence of this Report.

• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Order, Mr. Assistant Minister. There is a letter from the CID. It states as follows: “The Attorney-General in his letter Ref. AGCR/2014/602 has recommended that the nature of complaint is not criminal, and that Fred Odhiambo should not be charged with abuse of office offence; instead the PCK should deal with the issue internally”. So, you are both right. The Assistant Minister is right when he says that the recommendation was that the issue should be dealt with internally and the hon. Member is right when she says that the issue was not criminal. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Assistant Minister, you cannot use the excuse of saying that the matter is before the court now when you admitted that the Question had been answered properly, and the hon. Member only needed more information. The issue before us is that the allegations were abuse of office which is supposed to be criminal. The CID advised you that there was no criminal offence. So, what were the reasons that led you to dismiss Mr. Odhiambo? view
