• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to request for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding the general security situation in North Horr Constituency following the raid by Dasnat bandits from Ethiopia at Kubifora on 26th May, 2011. In his Statement, he should clarify the following:- (i) The circumstances surrounding the attack on Gabra Hasmin in Kubifora area by Dasnat bandits from Ethiopia that resulted to the death of two Gabra men, one of whom was a Kenya police reservist and a further injury of two people who have since been flown ... view
• 2 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I already have very valid information from the ground that these Ethiopians are mobilizing again to attack my people. Due to drought, our people have moved to the borders. This is an issue of national interest and I want the Assistant Minister to give it the urgency it requires. This is a serious concern. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, while I support the amendment, it is very critical that we do not run away from the responsibilities for 2017. While I accommodate this amendment, I think the principle of staggering is important to ensure that in 2017, this country will not be in crisis. On that basis, I seek that we consider that principle of staggering. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment. This is an independent Commission. We have no powers to dictate to it or to control it. So, we should give it the necessary autonomy to do its work. I oppose the amendment. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I support the amendment by hon. Bahari. It is a fact and I want to be on record that the first review was never concluded. There is no way I can stand on the Floor of this House and argue that it was concluded when it was never gazetted. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, secondly, if those ones were negotiated, then you were negotiating an illegality. That can never hold water because, at the end of the day, we know for sure that it was unconstitutional. More than that, that is an Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, Article 249 clearly states that:- “(2) The commissions and holders of independent offices- (b) are independent and not subject to direction or control by any person or authority”. view
• 31 May 2011 in National Assembly: While stating that, this Commission “shall” - which is mandatory, imperative and an obligation - use the work of the Ligale Commission as primary material. So, we are dictating to and controlling this Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission, which is unconstitutional. The Constitution is very clear on this issue and if it will not be decided on the Floor of this House, it will be done by the constitutional court of this land. view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Medical Services following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances did Mrs. Shanu Diba Guyo and Rukia Galgallo lose their lives at Isiolo District Hospital and Kenyatta National Hospital, respectively, on the night of 3rd April 2011 and 15th March 2011, respectively, and can the Minister confirm that the deaths were caused due to lack of blood and/or an anaesthetist at Marsabit District Hospital, where they were initially attended to? (b) Can the Minister confirm that Mrs. Guyo was not accompanied by a nurse on the journey from Marsabit ... view
• 11 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister for the very elaborate and detailed response, as well as for the measures he has promised to take to alleviate this problem. The two women lost their lives in the process of delivering babies. The lady from my constituency of North Horr had to travel 500 kilometres while in labour, from North Horr to Marsabit, and then all the way to Isiolo. She was not able to get the support she needed at the Marsabit District Hospital, the only hospital serving the larger Marsabit District. This was because there was no ... view
