• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: buying guns to go and protect Somalis, while our own children are dying. I think this House should bring a Motion to bring back our security forces from Somalia. view
• 2 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: They are doing a lot of nonsense in Somalia. They are subjecting this country to unnecessary dangers. When we speak about it here, the Leader of Majority and others will stand up and say that we are not moving out of Somalia until we complete a mission. You are not commandos in Somalia my brother! We need to remove our forces from Somalia. You want to tell us that you want to build a wall. I was in Germany for some time where I did some of my studies. They were destroying the Berlin Wall and here in Kenya, you ... view

• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you for giving me this opportunity. I wish to register my pleasure, happiness and thanks to the Speech made by the President. I must commend the President for the spirit and the breath that he gave to this nation on Thursday, a nation that was almost collapsing. Many of us had started thinking of ways of either impeaching the President or even going to the streets to demonstrate because this country was on its knees on matters of corruption. We were wondering whether the President knew what The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: was ailing the country. The Cabinet was rotten. The Judiciary and Parliament were rotten. County governments were a den of thieves. We were wondering whether hon. Uhuru Kenyatta was still the President of this country. His speech on Thursday showed us that he is still the President of this country. I want to applaud him and thank him for the several issues that he contemplated on. He gave us several matters which most of us have been asking whether they are functional. On most of the matters that the President touched on such as health, transport, education and electricity, I ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The second issue that touched me was the question of corruption. It was almost eating the fabric of the society. It had almost made Kenya one of the states which could be declared as a failed state. I must commend the President because he cracked the whip. Although we are asking several questions about the procedure to have been followed by the President, once the information from EACC or an independent commission has been forwarded to the President, the smart thing is to ensure that the information is made public. The best way is to bring it to this House. ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker for allowing me this opportunity to also make a contribution towards this Motion. I also support, although reluctantly, because we know what diplomacy is. As a student of International Studies and Diplomacy, I really understand the facts surrounding this position – the position of an ambassador – especially an ambassador to a country that neighbours ours. We have so many problems and issues with Somalia. Hon. Speaker, like my colleagues have said, we would have expected the President of this Republic - and we are sending this message to the President: “Next time you make appointments, ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: The rationale is that those people are retiring earlier based on the nature of their work. But we have Kenyans who went to school and studied careers. Those are the Kenyans we need to be looking at. Those are people who are right now working in positions that they are condemned to work in forever until they retire. Then they retire as people who hold no serious positions. Hon. Speaker, the questions we are asking are: Where are those students who have been studying diplomacy and international studies? Where are those students who went to the University of Nairobi (UoN) ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: point, Somalia is going to be stable and we need to be looking at how we can benefit from Somalia economically. We have had several appointees to positions in this Government and I think the President and the Deputy President who are digital, have a higher affinity for older people. When you look at the appointments they have been making all along, they are old people of over 70 years and yet, we have young men and women in this country who can hold those positions, whether they are 35 years or younger. We can have an ambassador who is ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: those particular areas is because our borders are porous. If we have to stop the proliferation of firearms in this country, then we must have somebody who has a very serious understanding in those particular areas. I only support that gentleman because I believe he has the intelligence; he has the know-how; he has that kind of experience to understand how to stop the transfer of arms to this country. Last on terrorism, we need this country to be protected. We need to have an ambassador who has a very clear understanding on how to handle terrorism in this country. ... view
