• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Water and Irrigation:- (a) how many dams, rivers and lakes in the country have dried up in the last decade, and how many people have been affected as a result of the water bodies drying up; (b) whether any comprehensive assessment of the water crisis in the country has been done; and, (c) what interim, mid-term and long-term actions the Government is taking to alleviate the situation. view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Assistant Minister for a very comprehensive answer that is well informed. However, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation also has the responsibility of making sure that they are part of the solution to make sure that our rivers do not dry up. He has given us answers as to how we can go on from this point henceforth, but what preventive measures are we taking to prevent to make sure that our rivers and lakes do not dry up? view
• 15 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to thank the Assistant Minister for doing a good job. But most of those rivers in northern Kenya have dried up and yet, we build dams costing Kshs9.5 billion. Could he commit to this House that northern Kenya, with its all dry rivers, has a serious potential for dam construction and that, he will put a lot of emphasis for more dams as he has done in the past? view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) to explain the circumstances that led to the death of Mr. Galbeitu Arbele in Marsabit Town on the night of 3rd August, 2007; and, (b) what investigations have been carried out and what are the results. view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has been a year since Arbele was murdered. When he was murdered, there was no break-in and no money was taken. But he was found dead. The police have been very slow in doing their investigations. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister the following question: Does the police have a motive as to why that gentleman was murdered? Why is it taking so long? view
• 9 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Marsabit Town is known for notorious murder cases. Many people have been killed and we have never had one or two instances where the people who have killed others have been captured and arrested. That is why I am so worried that this case will go the way the rest have gone. Let me ask the Assistant Minister the last question: When are you going to arrest that murder suspect? If the police have a suspect, what is taking them so long to arrest and charge him? view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he could explain why the Land Rover motor vehicle registration No. GK A345N TD assigned to Mt. Kulal Police Station has not been operational since 2007; (b ) whether he could confirm or deny that insecurity has escalated in the area because Mt. Kulal and other remote police stations have no means to respond to banditry incidents; and, (c) what steps he is taking to correct the situation. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am 100 per cent apologetic to the House for coming late. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it has been three years since that Land Rover was grounded. Mt. Kulal and Marsabit are 300 kilometres apart. The Assistant Minister has told us that they have been doing patrols. It is extremely uneconomic for a patrol to be done 300 kilometres away. It is a waste of Government resources and inefficient. The Assistant Minister should have a better explanation. However, now that he has given us these details of the amounts of money needed to fix this vehicle and we all know why the banditry is reduced, when will this Land Rover be ... view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Laisamis Constituency has two districts, namely; Loyangalani and Laisamis and from one end to the other is 550 kilometres with one police vehicle. I would like to ask the Assistant Minister to seriously consider the areas of Loyangalani, Laisamis and Korr for a police vehicle so that the people can be properly served and security enhanced. view
