28 Aug 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Ministry for sometime has been stating in public that they will do mobile registration this financial year in some of the vast constituencies like North Horr. For most part of this year, it is only once that such an exercise has been done in my constituency and only in one division. I want the Assistant Minister to tell the country and especialy the people of northern Kenya who live in these very vast constituencies, like North Horr which covers more than four provinces of Kenya whether he will initiate mobile registration, as he has said ...

Mr. Chairman, Sir, I oppose the amendment. I do not know of any modern state where persons seeking to occupy vettable positions are not vetted. If we need security vetting, then which organ of the state is supposed to do it? It is the NIS. We have to look at the bigger picture. This is not just about us. It is about this nation. How can we stop terrorists, serial killers and other criminals from occupying sensitive positions in this country, if people are not vetted? Vetting is a critical aspect of national security. Anybody seeking to occupy public office ...

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support the amendment by the Chairman of the Committee. Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, it is upon the intelligence service to ensure that they secure their documents. If they cannot secure documents in their position, Kenyans should not be harassed or be imprisoned just because they have access to that document.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I oppose that amendment. The security threats that we face in the world are global. Our troops are in Somalia; they are there, not only to defend our sovereignty and our national security, but also to fight global terrorism. When we work with friendly nations and they are willing to support our security--- More than that, they want to support us in combating shared security threats which are global, I do not see any reason as to why we should not get funds from those forces. I oppose that amendment.

Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, this is legislative overkill. Once we have created the enabling legislation, that is enough. Regulations are an administrative issue and that should be handled at the level of the council. I beg oppose.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, this clause is about discipline and a disciplinary court. It is purely administrative. If the Director-General (DG) is to have authority and, be effective and make his staff accountable, he must have authority to enforce what he is supposed to do. I do not think it is necessary for a whole council to be involved with issues such as discipline. I think it is important for us to support the amendment; it is purely administrative and the DG should be given the powers to play that role.
