• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to say from the outset, for avoidance of doubt, that in seeking this Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, I consulted with my brother, hon. Shakeel, because the issue that I am going to ask details about cuts across our two constituencies. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security regarding the current state of insecurity in the City of Kisumu occasioned by a gang, which has resulted today in the cordoning of Kisumu Bus Park by ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I hope that the Minister is able to multi-task, so that as he talks with his colleagues, he is able to listen to what I am saying because the matter is very serious. In the Statement, I would like the Minister to address the following issues:- (i) Outline to the nation the genesis of the violence which also led to the attack of one Mr. Owino at Tuskys Supermarket in Kisumu Town and state the action that the police took subsequent to this attack. (ii) Clarify whether the attack on Stephen Midhialo also known as Mada in ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I appreciate the fact that the Minister may not be familiar with what is going on in Kisumu now but the situation is so volatile as I speak before this House. Unless this matter is handled very quickly and urgently, tomorrow we may see deaths. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. From the Question that arose from this House about the violence meted out by forest guards and wildlife rangers, it is clear that something is wrong with these two departments. The Minister has avoided answering the questions because he is claiming the sub judice rule. Is it not right that if he will avoid answering this question because of the sub judice rule, then he must comply with Standing Order No.80 by producing the documents that show that the matter is active in court? This is because the Minister has ... view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Following up on what hon. Martha Karua has asked now, the hon. Minister is fully aware that the strategies he has set up before the House have failed. Is it not in order for him now to tell the House that the old ones which he has not mentioned and which he must now act on, is to come down with a hammer upon those who are inciting communities, even if they are Members of this House? view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances were Administration Police constables recruited and enrolled at the Administration Police Training College (APTC) without basic academic qualifications certificates and without being given service numbers that resulted in 600 of them being given three days off on 28th May 2012 to present the documents to enable them proceed with training? (b) How many of these officers have so far returned to the college with genuine documents, and could the Minister provide a ... view

• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The fundamental part of this Question is how the rains affect the construction of our roads in our country. Many times the Assistant Minister has come to the House to say that roads are eroded faster than expected because of the rains even when the rains are not beyond normal. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to tell the House only about the funds without disclosing to the House the type of designs the Ministry is taking to ensure that rains do not affect the roads? view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I feel concerned about the term ex-gratia used by the Minister. That would imply that these former workers are not entitled as by law to these benefits. It is like a gift and the Government is under no obligation to pay it. The Question by hon. Sheikh Dor is that these are dues that the former workers are entitled to. Is the Minister in order to indicate on one hand that payments are being prepared and on the other hand say that these payments are ex-gratia ? view
• 19 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Did you hear the Minister tell the House that to be found with a Cabinet Memo is an offence that can take somebody to jail? He also ought to know that the Constitution makes all public documents public. Here is nothing confidential anymore. view
