• 26 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. Just as the ASAL areas qualify for the Equalization Fund, the ASAL areas deserve equalization on security issues. This is because the areas have been forgotten for so many years and they do not have adequate security. The KPRs have automatic experience on how to handle arms. It is natural to them. They have hi-tech intelligence on security issues. A KPR can actually detect a stranger in an area by smell only. A KPR can also identify the strange footprints of a thug something which has never happened in Kenya. I ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: It is resumption of debate. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of information, hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir. We began this Motion. Hon. Alois moved the Motion and I seconded it. Since he is not around, he requested me to reply. 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
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am not replying now. I was just informing you because you wanted to drop the Motion. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. It has come at a right time and in the right place. We could assert the words of a philosopher called Thomas Hobbes in his theory of human nature where he said that the primary role of the Government is to protect lives and property. When the Government fails to protect life and property, people go back to the state of nature where they do whatever they want. That is exactly what we are experiencing in most parts of Kenya where people are killed and property stolen but ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: efficiently. The KPR will reduce crimes. They will assist Kenyans in the recovery of illegal arms. That is because they know the culprits. They will also supplement the inadequacy of the police officers in the country. I strongly recommend that more KPRs be recruited, deployed and given allowances in their respective villages. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also recommend that those KPRs should be provided with proper protective clothing. I also recommend that KPRs should be facilitated by giving them good vehicles. That is because they are in the spirit of volunteering. They have already volunteered. They are ready ... view
• 18 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: areas. They can walk for long distances. I have seen a KPR who walked for almost 200 kilometres while protecting the lives of innocent Kenyans. I have seen a KPR who has lived in the bush for a whole month. You know those cattle raids happen at odd hours – almost 3.00 a.m. at night. When will a policeman wake up at that time? The KPRs are already there. If a raid happens at that particular time, they will always respond even without vehicles. The only thing that we are doing is to ease the process by supporting them and ... view
• 16 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I stand to oppose the reduction of the period. You understand very well that when this Motion will be approved, men will suffer the liability. Even you, it means that some of your property will go away. So, you need time to think and consult. view
• 10 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Mover of this Motion. I come from an area that is arid. Turkana County has 77,000 square kilometres. You can imagine that out of the whole of this area only five per cent of its area has electricity, yet the people living in this region are Kenyans who deserve services. When will these Kenyans get the same privileges that other Kenyans get? This Motion has come at the right time. We require this liberalization of power distribution immediately. Oil has been discovered in Turkana County. There are big machines ... view
