• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for the chance to contribute to this very important Motion on vetting of nominees. I support the Report of the Committee. Major- General (Rtd) Lukas Tumbo is the right person for the job, because of his vast experience. He has good education and is trained in several countries.

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, as I said earlier, I feel that Major General Tumbo can fix the insecurity problem that we have in the northern Kenya region, through negotiation with the Federal Republic of Somalia.

• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: insecurity problem in that region, because they know the language and the culture of the people. They can talk to people and nab the terrorists. Therefore, some of the ways of reducing insecurity in northern Kenya is recruitment of a squad of native Somali policemen, involving the local governments in the fight against terrorism, as well as involving the elected Members of the National Assembly and the Senate; they can help sort out that problem in the area where insecurity is rampant. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The nominee promised to prevent contraband goods that come into this country. Kenya loses a lot of money through goods that are not taxed. If you go to areas like Eastleigh, goods are very cheap. Maybe the reason is because they are not taxed. They come into the country through the Kenya-Somali boarder. The merchants in Eastleigh do big trade because most of them get goods without paying the taxes that this country needs for development. Maj-Gen. Tumbo has promised that, that will be one of his priority areas. He will help in generating revenue for the KRA by making ... view
