• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Bill and I want to congratulate the Mover because he is a long time serving Member of Parliament. He would have chosen to say that he is comfortable because he has been re- elected many times. But you can see the intent of this Bill. It is aimed at taking care of Members of Parliament who have served this country in a very distinguished way. All of us are aware that every time we step out of this House and go to a common area, we find The electronic ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: former Members of Parliament who would gladly greet us. It is not because of our contribution on the Floor of the House, it is because they want us to give them some money. It is very disheartening because if you look at some of them, they are the people you used to read about in the newspapers. Those are the people who may have motivated you to join politics. The kind of picture you are confronted with is very disheartening. I am sure most Members of Parliament will agree with me that the moment we came to Parliament, we found ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: ” So, everywhere and every instance you engage with them, you are not spending money that is for development. You are spending money from your own pocket. How will you invest and yet, those are the same people who, 80 per cent do not make it back to Parliament? If you look at the way this Bill is drafted, it is very timely. It creates a body that would be responsible for Members of Parliament who have served this country. However, I would want to suggest that we enhance this Bill by ensuring that the first priority for those who ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: contribute and to ensure that we protect our interests and the interests of those who have come before us without fear, favour or intimidation. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I support. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I have a little concern here. If you look at the commissions that have been enumerated here, I am just wondering whether there are those which have the title ‘service commission’ because we are leaving other constitutional commissions that, of course, are part of the Public Service and should be under this ambit. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Listening to all of us contributing to this Motion and we are supposed to take note of the President’s Report, I am concerned that we are turning out to be very good experts in talking about matters of security. Indeed, we just had the debate, the other day, about the stripping of women. Every other week we are becoming chatterbox. We are just talking about security with no solution. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: I do not know whether that is the same frustration that made our good Senator hon. Khalwale to also go and demonstrate with the public. Kenyans are now becoming desperate. We, as a House, should ask ourselves whether we have powers collectively to do something about the security of this country. What we are getting from the Government, I am not sure sometimes whether the right to information is propaganda. If you tell us that you have killed 100 people in Somalia, does it compensate for the 28 people who were killed in Mandera? Some of these issues are serious. ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: There is something that would happen, even if you do not have a solution to the problem. Something should be done to those who are most responsible so that there is some sense of seriousness and responsibility. That is very critical. view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: So, to come to tell us that it is not hon. ole Lenku and Mr. Kimaiyo, what are you telling us? Who are we supposed to turn to? view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, there is also the issue of policemen being taken to court when they are doing their good job. We have a very good case of Mr. Katitu in Githurai. He was killing people who were taking property from Kenyans, yet he is now in remand at Industrial Area because of doing his job very well. Who took him there? The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) is the complainant and investigator. Where are we going? view
