• 27 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, whether the Government is able to verify whether the people in northern Kenya are Somali from Somalia or Kenyan Somali is not the work of the Kenyan Somali. The Government has to put in place mechanisms to--- view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this chance to contribute to this very important Motion and, from the word go, I want to oppose it even as amended. I have a reason to say that because I believe the report is not adequate and Safaricom should not have been awarded that tender. But even as I oppose, I want to commend the Committee for its large number of annexes and supporting documents according to Standing Order No.199(6). view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is unclear who the authors of Annex 10 are, since it is not indicated. I want the Committee Chairman to note this. For the last 19 years, the country’s National Police Service, the first line of security and defence for civilians, has operated under what is known as analog microwave trans-radio communication system. That is the system that the National Police Service uses to convey voice and data across the country and the border posts. However, with the advancement in communication systems, analog microwave trans-radio communication systems have become obsolete to a point that even manufacturers do not make ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the summary findings on pages 20 to 22 are misleading, in that the circumstances that gave rise to urgency for procuring the system were foreseeable. They were also as a result of the contract on the part the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. I want to remind this House that the security agencies are used to procuring goods in secret without scrutiny or competitive bidding. They have become cash cows for corrupt civil servants and the “big fish” in this country. It should be recalled that as far back as 2003, there was ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: billion. The initial budget was between Kshs7 billion and Kshs10 billion. How come we are comfortable with the current tender of Kshs18.78 billion when the previous one of Kshs17.2 billion was cancelled for inflation by over 100 per cent? The National Police Service Commission (NPSC) was operationalised in October, 2012. There is also the decision by the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government to reinstate and fast-track Tender No.OOP/NSCC/2011-2012. After the National Police Service Commission had been operationalised, it violated Section 20 of the National Police Service Act, 2011, which states that before the commencement of each financial ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: money. If it is allowed to go on as it is, this country will lose money. Therefore, I support what hon. Nkaisserry has said; that you cannot place the security of a country in the hands of private contractors. He has given a good example of Snowden, which was sold somewhere in Russia. If you put the security of this country in the hands of private contractors, we will face the same problems that the United States of America (USA) faced. Safaricom is a big company, but it is not in the Government. Let us be careful when we deal ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is not inciting them! I am saying the truth from experience. More money should be put into the Police Service. Those gadgets may not help. Therefore, I oppose. Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for giving me this chance. I think this is a very important Bill – The Protection against Domestic Bill, National Assembly Bill No.28 of 2013 and I think all of us need to support it and there is a reason for this. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Domestic violence is a serious problem all over this country and we have to address it squarely without beating about the bush. It happens to men and women. It is not specific to one gender and we have to address it squarely. This is a very good Bill and I thank that Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs because it has taken the challenge to face it squarely. view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, if there are some small issues which cannot be addressed by the existing legislation, we can always address them. However, what I want to say is that apart from what I have heard about marital rape, because I did not know that there could be marital rape in marriage, all the others are okay. view
