• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite obvious that this “Operation Hope” is no longer “Operation Hope” but “Operation Strike Terror” and we heard harrowing stories in this House during the adjournment debate last week. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) rebels, we are told, come from across the border. We have a very extensive border with Ethiopia. We have several military bases stretching from Mandera, Moyale, Garissa, and Wajir. These officers are based there at the taxpayers’ expense to perform the tasks of protecting Kenyans. Could the Assistant Minister tell us what steps have been taken in ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the Assistant Minister say despite the presence of the defence forces there, what they have done is to send linen to Government chemist and write a letter to the authorities asking for assistance. What is the purpose of them being stationed there, if you have to write in order for them to come and protect the Kenyan border from these rebels who cross over from Ethiopia? view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am aware the Notice of this Motion was given only last week. I spoke to hon. M’Mithiaru and he was of the opinion that he was number two on the list. Perhaps, that is why he is not here. You may use your discretion to defer the Motion. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, by sheer coincidence, what I was planning to raise as a Ministerial Statement has been addressed by the Prime Minister. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with me here are photographs of containers of cocaine that were introduced in Kenya. A senior police officer who was investigating this and established the basis for arresting senior people in Government was dismissed from the police force. The letter of dismissal was dated 11th July, 2005 and addressed to No.216537, Mohammed Godana Jarissa, Senior Superintendent of Police. It was signed on behalf of the then Comissioner of Police, Maj-Gen. Ali. Sometime ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have a complete record in my statement. I do not need this to tell me what they are. However, the first one is a letter dated 10th August, 2006 directed to the Director of KACC, Integrity Center Nairobi and draws the attention to Hon. Justice (Rtd) Aaron Ringera, former Court of Appeal Judge. The title of the letter is: “Non-action by KACC Senior Officers, Dr. Mutonyi and Mr. Waiguru on my Report and Complaints Reported to them on 13th January, 2006 on Abuse of Office and Corruption by Police Commissioner Maj-Gen. Hussein Ali.” That is ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. What immediate assurance can the Prime Minister give in connection with Mr. Godana’s security? He has telephoned me and I had to go behind there. He is a worried man. I would like to get view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member has indicated that she is asking this Question on behalf of another hon. Member who is “temporarily restrained”. I am not sure whether that is part of our parliamentary language. Maybe she could explain what that means first. view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that I was consulting you at the time the hon. Member stood to ask the Question. view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member for Turkana Central sits in the Speaker’s Panel with me. During our last meeting, he indicated that he would be travelling out on official business. Some of the work he was to do, you direct that I do it in his absence. view
• 23 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the number of questions that come up addressing the plight of North Eastern Province clearly show that this Government takes the people of that province as second class citizens. That is why we had to pass the Indemnity (Repeal) Act. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that this policy of discrimination against North Eastern Province will be discontinued? view
