• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, poaching needs tougher laws. I would say that the death penalty is cruel and, therefore, we should abolish it. However, I would support life imprisonment besides other measures this House deems fit to introduce, so that we can discourage poaching. Poaching affects our tourism sector and hence our national Budget. If our laws are not stiff enough, and poachers know that they can easily get away with the heinous crime of killing elephants, they will carry on with the practice. I also want to say that this is a conspiracy. It is not the poachers alone who ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: This morning, I passed through Pangani Police Station and noticed that it is in a deplorable condition. I am informed that game rangers are facing even worse conditions. If we do not adequately fund police officers and game rangers, who are supposed to rein in poachers; if we pay them very little salaries and if they do not have vehicles, they cannot do much. When police officers and game rangers receive distress calls about poaching or crimes that have been committed, they spend five minutes pushing their vehicles to start because the vehicles do not have starters or batteries. They ... view
• 22 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I also feel that we should introduce satellite technology. We cannot use old systems to track down poachers because they are clever. They are always ahead of our security agencies in terms of strategy. New techniques have been used in South Africa. Kenya is the largest economy in East Africa. We can use modern technology to track poachers. What do we see our security personnel using? They use old Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover vehicles. Our security officers use outdated guns whereas poachers use the most modern guns. Even when police officers are informed of an ... view
• 21 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, what my colleagues have said is very correct. Since this debate started, it has been disturbing me. Many times, I have disagreed with the Leader of the Majority Party but today, I agree with him. This House is superior to view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second the Procedural Motion. view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Deputy Speaker. Today is a big day because we have been having a dreadlock which was very difficult to unlock. When I was entering the Chamber, a friend of mine, hon. Paul Bii, the Member of Parliament for Chepalungu told me a story of why our mothers are accused of siding with their children later in life. It was a very interesting short story. He told me that if any of us here falls sick, and one is lucky to still have his mother alive, despite the fact that one may be married and a ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Last week, an hon. Member stood up here and said that he received a telephone call from an old man in London, and we felt very agitated. Those are the kinds of statements that you should avoid in order for us to engage with you positively in future. So, do not call our leaders, both Raila and Kalonzo, an old man from London. If you do not use such derogatory language, we will move forward. We also respect the President and the Deputy President. Hon. Members from the CORD Coalition will never call your leaders names. So, please, hon. Members ... view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I second the Motion. This is a good list. view
• 16 May 2013 in National Assembly: I second. view
• 15 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I want to thank the Leader of Majority Party for that reply. But there is something that was raised by hon. Ali. Hon. Ali said that, that disaster was caused artificially by KenGen. I think that bit escaped the House. If it was a disaster that was artificially caused, then we can talk about compensation. People have to be properly compensated because that is a disaster that the Government cannot run away from. Giving just water, food and small things like Kshs400,000 to schools is not enough. Families lost everything they had. If that clarification can ... view
