• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. On the nights of 5th and 6th of December, 2010, the police carried out indiscriminate swoops targeting members of the Somali Community in Eastleigh and South C, Nairobi. In the Statement, I want the Minister to clarify the following:- (a) Whether the Government has embarked on profiling of persons of the Somali ethnic group in Eastleigh, following incidents of insecurity in the recent past.

• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. First of all, I would like to appreciate the Statement given by the Prime Minister. Given the incidents he has clearly stated here that happened within the Kenyan territorial waters, and the fact that the Kenya Navy has boats along the Kenyan coast that monitor incoming and outgoing ships, what would the Prime Minister tell us about the state of preparedness of our naval forces to protect our territorial waters? The agreements we have with the European Union, NATO, UK and USA are supposed to supplement our efforts and take care of the international ... view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think it is not right for the Prime Minister to mislead the House by saying that the Kenya Navy has the capacity when he admits here that what we have agreements with the UK, USA, Denmark and the EU. Those agreements were done because of the deficit that we have. We lack the capacity to do so. That is why we are calling in the EU and others to come and assist us. If the presence of the EU forces is within our territorial waters, how come-- - view
• 1 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, my question is directed to the Prime Minister for clarification, unless the hon. Minister wants to assist him because he is the Minister of State for Defence. How come the incidences of piracy within our territorial waters are increasing instead of diminishing? Is he in order to mislead the House? view

• 30 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this issue has been raised by the media before. As the Member of Parliament, together with the Provincial Security Committee and the District Security Committee, we have been on the ground; the true position is that we have elements who want the implementation of Phase Three of the resettlement exercise to stop. Those elements are more or less coming up with fictitious information. The situation on the ground is that there is no place which is as peaceful as Mount Elgon area in this country, as we speak. Therefore, we cannot highlight on the Floor of this ... view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Thursday 30th September, 2010, the Deputy Speaker referred the matter of the mysterious killings of persons in Eldama Ravine and Lari in Baringo and Kiambu Counties, respectively to the Committee on Administration and National Security. The matter came to the Floor of the House through a Question by Private Notice filed by hon. Lessonet, and a supplementary question by hon. Njuguna, the Member for Lari. The Members sought to know from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the circumstances surrounding the mysterious deaths of youth in the constituencies in the recent past. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in this regard, the Committee undertook a fact-finding mission to Eldama Ravine and Lari as directed by the House. It visited Lari on Monday 11th October and proceeded to Eldama Ravine on 12th October, 2010. There is a preliminary report to that effect. However, it is the view of the Committee that in order to come up with a comprehensive Report, there is need to visit other areas where similar incidents have been reported. There have been claims that similar killings have taken place in other areas in Nairobi, Nyanza and Coast provinces. view
• 19 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Committee considers the preliminary report inconclusive and, therefore, seeks for an extension of time for it to come up with a more comprehensive Report. If the House gives us an extension, the Committee intends to visit the said areas from 18th to 29th October, 2010, so that we can have a more conclusive Report to table before the House. view
