• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: I have been away when so much took place. I am saying this with a sad heart; that I lost my uncle on Saturday. So, we are in a funeral mood and we will bury him on Saturday. Equally, I want to say pole to the families of the people who died when I was not around like hon. Muchai. I want to send to this family my condolences and those of the people of Kitui West. I wish them God’s peace. I appeal to the Government to speed up investigations so that those who are behind that are prosecuted. ... view
• 17 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: of CORD and its policies. I want to end there and wish that the people of Kajiado Central would elect Elijah Memusi because he is equally a good servant of the people of this country. I want to end by saying that the Auditor-General is a very important person in this country. Without audits, any government or any people that you put in power where resources are available will misuse the resources for personal entitlement. Once again, I urge the legislators because they are the ones who appropriate the Budget, to put more money in the Office of the Auditor-General ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for giving me this chance to contribute on this Motion. I know that we are not supposed to oppose or support the President’s Report, but we should comment on it. I just want to say that insecurity in this country has reached alarming proportions. It has killed our tourism sector. Today, if you go to the Coast Province, all hotels - and even in Nairobi - are empty and the business people have lost a lot, together with the employees. Agriculture has also collapsed because even in areas where there is cattle rustling, there ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: not move forward. So, this is a very important Report. Our national security should be subject to the Constitution of Kenya and to this Parliament because it is very important. I also want us to debate on this Motion with a bipartisan approach so that we can tackle it once and for all. Having looked at Article 247 of the Constitution and Section 16 of the National Security Council Act, Cap.206 of the Laws of Kenya and the entire Chapter 14 of the Constitution of Kenya, I think the Report was well drafted, but there exists some room for improvement. ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this country has suffered a lot and we can name so many incidents where we have been attacked. My question is: Do Kenyans understand why we face so much insecurity? Is it because we went to Somalia? What of those countries that are in the AMISOM like Ethiopia, Burundi and Uganda, which are not bombed every day? view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the reason why we have more insecurity than any country in East Africa is because of youth unemployment. We have a lot of idle youth and our country’s economy cannot absorb all the youth who graduate from schools. So, they are idle, frustrated, have nowhere to go and have to live. That causes insecurity because they have to find something to do to earn some income to feed their families. Youth unemployment leads to poverty. There is so much poverty both in the rural and urban areas in this country. If you look at it, Kenya ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: We have to come up with a formula of taxing the rich to bridge the gap. So long as there are so many poor people in the land of plenty, there will not be security in this country. Let us address it. We may improve our Police Force. We may buy cars and so on but let us bridge the gap between the rich and the poor by trying to apply affirmative action to move people from poverty to levels where they can get their livelihoods. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, corruption has also contributed to insecurity because all those illegal firearms in the country pass through roadblocks. Also, what has brought about this corruption are the low salaries of our police officers. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for protecting me from my colleagues and the protagonists. If you look at the pay slip of a newly employed law enforcement officer, be it an Administration Police (AP), a prison officer or a regular policeman - their starting salary is Kshss18,000 and the house allowance of Kshs.1,200. Surely, where on earth can you get a house for Kshs1,200? The salary they get is so little compared to what we hon. Members are paid and other people. There is no justification. When our police officers are being paid Kshs18,000, and you expect them to ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: The Nyumba Kumi policy is good and for it to be effective, the Opposition should be involved. To involve the Opposition is to recognize our Opposition leaders. Let the Head of State, because he is the President of the whole country, invite Opposition leaders and let them sit down and look for solutions to this problem. That is because if they cannot do it, it can tear this country apart. When Opposition leaders are recognized and are involved in finding solutions on how to tackle it, insecurity will be a thing of the past and all Kenyans will be united. view
