• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what does the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance intend to do because the agricultural sector in this country depends on his policy? view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, how does the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance intend to deal with the tariffs to enable the farmers in this country to have a reason to produce? How does he intend to protect the farmers? view
• 14 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. This is a very serious matter. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was listening to the Statement of the Minister through my radio. I have also heard the last part here. I am glad that we are trying very hard to face the scourges of terrorism and the problems in our neigbouring countries. However, I seek two clarifications from the Minister’s Statement. To begin with, there are many Somali governments that have been sworn in here in Kenya. Other governments were sworn in Djibouti and one time, even some efforts were done in Ethiopia. Every time we in the region and the international community want to ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we in Kenya are incurring the wrath of the terrorists and Al-shabab in Somalia because we trained a force for the Somali Government. The force was supposed to go into Somalia to secure and create a buffer zone for us in Jubaland which borders us. Up to this moment, no action has been taken. The force is just staying in here. The only action that has been taken is that, countries in the neighbourhood are insisting on this force being taken to Mogadishu. Ethiopia has trained a similar force. They use that force to secure ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, how soon are we going to deploy this force through our own border here so that we can secure ourselves from the threats of Al-shabab by securing Jubaland which neighbours us? Why is it that our relation, as far as Somalia is concerned, is always subordinate? We do not come out strong enough to take our national security as being cardinal to us and fundamental without any need for us to listen to any other country; superpowers, Ethiopia or any other countries in the region. These are the clarifications I am seeking from the able ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. With your indulgence, I was hoping that before the Minister answers that, as a sign of the condolences that we have to express to our brothers in Uganda who have taken a noble continental African cause on their own and suffered very heavily, could we as a House, observe a moment of silence in solidarity with the deceased and as a sign of condolence from all of us before the Minister answers the clarifications? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Dr. Khalwale says that there are many Somali nationals in Eastleigh. I wonder whether he understands the difference between me and a Somali from Somalia. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. There are no Somali nationals in Eastleigh. They are Somalis from North Eastern Province who are doing business in Easleigh. Could he substantiate his claims? The Somali nationals in this country are supposed to be in refugee camps and, if they are not there, it is a failure on the part of our own system to arrest them. But to try and talk about Somali nationals in here and create a situation similar to what some people tried to create last time--- To profile Somalis and create a form of xenophobia emanating from our ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Minister to tell us that the IGAD Summit has accepted to involve the Front Line States in securing the stability of Somalia when, in fact, we know that we did not have Al-Shabaab in 2006 before Ethiopian forces went into Somalia and occupied that country? We did not have radical islamists who are basically destructive groups in Somalia prior to the engagements of Ethiopian forces inside Somalia. The fact that through our own Government in which the Minister was at that time an Assistant ... view
