• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. On behalf of myself and the people of Seme Constituency, I wish to pass my condolences to those who have been bereaved. I must also condemn that act and those who have perpetrated it and also thank the security team that has responded in whatever way. I also agree that this is a time we must work together as a nation and look at this issue of security together. What we have and whatever we say is a failure of the security system. We have passed laws, shouted at each other here, torn each other‘s ... view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: We have a structural problem in our security system. Internal security is, to a large extent, a police matter. When we have the information, we cannot respond. There is no much time and we must respond to the police reforms and do them. We cannot minimize the issue of corruption. I once listened to a BBC report and it was asked how come other countries that are in Somalia are not being attacked. The response was, because in Kenya, it is easier to breach the security system because of corruption. So, we must look at it like that. I have ... view

• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I appreciate the effort by the First Lady on the Beyond Zero Campaign. Technically, the Beyond Zero Campaign is a good effort, but there are no logistics and strategies that will result in the reduction of maternal mortality. I can say that for sure. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The issue of medical equipment was also indicated in the President’s Speech. In fact, we are putting so much money into the programme. Looking at the problem as it is now, my greatest fear is that we do not have people to operate the equipment when they are put in place. I am worried that we will probably have medical equipment lying somewhere and people will not be using it. There are many areas of programmatic nature that face the same sequence of reporting good things, but not changing peoples’ lives. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: On the past injustices, an apology, as one Member said, implies that you must admit that so and so committed an injustice. People are not looking for money when looking at past injustices.

A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: money. You want to know who killed them. If that person can come forward and apologise the Rwanda style, that will help. Corruption is an area where the President has made a commendable effort. But I am worried after looking at this Report that this is work which has not been completed. In his Speech, he admits the failure of EACC. We need to do something about EACC. If we do not get a proper report in 60 days, the whole idea of stepping aside will have no meaning. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Both the Bills are time bound, one by the financial procedures and the other by the Constitution. However, in the case of the second one, I would like to be assured that the Report of the Committee is ready because we have reduced the time and it is an important Bill. When we have a Bill like this and the time is reduced yet the Committee Report is not available, we get ourselves into a bit of confusion. That is it hon. Speaker. view
• 19 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I just want to be assured of the deletion of the subclauses. The explanation has been that these are in other Acts and, therefore, there is no need to import them. view
