I have looked at security. A lot of the monies that is diverted normally ends up in the security docket. We need security. Any serous Government must make clear provisions for security. Without security, we cannot do water, education or anything meaningful. Monies are taken to security and serious equipment is bought. The Government has done its bit. This time there is no problem of movement for the police and the Criminal Investigation Department officers because there are motor vehicles but, why are they not doing the correct thing? We have a Government that is very excited in clamping down ...

officers to contain insecurity in Muhoroni Constituency where inciters are known. They are across. They invade local farms but people come to convince me to have the people integrate and live cohesively. How do you expect people to integrate and live cohesively when someone is occupying their farm and you know him? The police come after people have been invaded and when you ask them to remove the invaders, they say that the Independent Policing oversight Authority (IPOA) law limits them from removing people using force. But when harmless and hungry people are shouting in a demonstration, instead of letting ...

We want the Government - and the Chairman is listening to me - to revisit the bursary issue which is very sentimental to the public. We want to see money allocated for capitation used to build classroom. We want to see the classrooms. I should count the classrooms that have been built in a year. If not, bring it back for bursaries so that my small NGCDF kitty is not overburdened. I see you are being overzealous trying to steal our NGCDF kitty. That will break down business of this House because that is the only devolved aspect of money ...

made by my good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party. Sugarcane is very good for the economy of this country. It is a cash crop. We do not have cash crops in this country. We are proceeding on recess after working hard from the period we resumed. We have a lot on our plate as responsible Members and representatives of the people who brought us to this House. It is time for us to put our act in order and be close to our electorate who expect a lot from us. We expect maximum cooperation from Government officers. This ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my biggest regret, as we proceed on recess is that the women of Kenya who were expecting a lot from this House were not able to get their right or achieve their competition because of real politics. I saw my good friend, the Leader of the Majority Party who was supposed to represent the interest of the deserving women of Kenya celebrating when the Motion was defeated. So, I started wondering aloud whether it was the scheme of the Jubilee Government to float this for public relations and pull it by the other side to bring ...
