• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I hope my ten minutes start from now. I would like to also support the appropriations in the Supplementary Budget. Any human being, including us in our houses with our loved ones, always intends them to be secure. We put good doors and windows. Likewise, this country has spent a lot of money on development and other issues, but we are not spending money on our defence and security matters. I have no business owning big cars and good houses and yet, I am not secure. As we know, Kenya has never gone to war. It ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: always given, almost 60 per cent is on salaries. There is nothing on operations and maintenance. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As we speak, we have 4,000 troops in Somalia trying to keep Al Shabaab at bay under AMISOM. AMISOM does not pay for our Airforce and Navy. We bomb AlShabaab areas at our own expense and yet, the money that we pay them is so little. It is peanuts. Just imagine those 4,000 troops staying in a very rough area in Somalia and after they come back home, they have no houses. They have no place to call home. We are not even modernizing our weapons. If you look around the region, our troops are out- numbered, and Kenya is ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We are not trying to keep ourselves very secure and yet, there is heightened security threat. You will remember even recently, our international airport was bombed. I am sorry one of us said it was a bulb when actually, it was an Al Shabaab infiltration. If you really want to know how real Al Shabaab is, they recently attacked and almost captured the President of Somalia in his own State House. We also have to fund our National Intelligence Service more. If you do not know how wonderful they are for keeping Al Shabaab at bay, even in this Parliament ... view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, my time is being wasted. I have only 10 minutes. Can I continue? view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: You will kindly give me more time because I have been interrupted. What I am bringing up is that we really need to invest in our security sector. What happens is that we put our proposals and the National Treasury also puts theirs. What goes through is what the National Treasury recommends. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has been wrongfully placed under the Public Administration sector. We always say diplomacy is the first line of defence. view
• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We need to make sure that the National Treasury places the Ministry of Foreign Affairs under the security sector. They have been in this sector but when money matters come up, they are placed in the Public Administration sector. We really need to put a lot of money here because we have elements of radicalization, especially of our youth. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 26 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: People have been thinking that when we talk about Al Shabaab, there are names like Mohamed Ali. These days things are different. You see the Kamaus, Otienos and other different Kenyan names who are leaders of Al Shabaab. That organization has now been devolved and going into dangerous places. Just by buying police cars does not mean that, that is the end of it. We need to put a lot of money to make sure that their capabilities are really taken care of. How do you want somebody to secure you and yet, he has no place to call home? ... view
• 11 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I am sorry. I never wanted to interfere with hon. Midiwo but can you hear? There is a lot of noise! I think there is rain and, in fact, we are feeling it inside the House. I thought that this House was recently renovated. We cannot even hear hon. Midiwo speaking. I do not know whether things have gone wrong. I do not know why we are hearing that noise. Even in my own house, I cannot hear when it is raining. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Before we go to the next business, I want you to give directions. You remember yesterday, this House almost went into anarchy. This is a House of honour and respect and image is the most important thing for this House. There is a tendency for a section of hon. Members of Parliament, whenever they think some matters should not be debated, they tend to put this House into anarchy. That cannot be accepted because we are all hon. Members of Parliament and there is a way of expressing your views. Voting is the last kind ... view
