• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 4 Mar 2014 in National Assembly: And you know, generals do not like fighting losing battles. So, in this case, I support. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. The Statement is the property of the House because yesterday, you directed that it be brought today. I do not see any problem. Let the Chairperson of the Committee read out the Statement so that I can interrogate it. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, it is unfortunate that the Chairperson is not the one who wrote the Statement. What the Chairperson just read out are total lies. First of all, he said that when those fellows were appointed, adverse reports were received. This is the normal way of playing politics with the careers of Kenyans. I have documents here. As he said, on 11th March, 2014, I requested the Government to give us some extra locations, and the locations he mentioned were created. One of the locations that The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified ... view

If the Ministry is cheating Parliament, we have to censure it. After the creation of the said sub-locations, the positions were advertised and people applied. Interviews were subsequently done. The Assistant Chief emerged top during the interviews. In fact, he should have been promoted automatically. Unfortunately, because of the spelt out procedure, he participated in the interview. He emerged top in the interview for the position of Orinie Location with a mark of 81 per cent. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want the Committee Chairman to listen to what I am saying, so that he can go back to the Ministry and demand the right answer. That is because we cannot allow Parliament to be taken for a ride. The person who topped in the interview for Orinie Location passed on before the appointment was made. So, the next person should be the one who emerged second, and who was duly appointed. The minutes of the interviews are here. The letter forwarding the qualified candidates is here. The PC wrote to the Kajiado Sub-County Commissioner on 4th June, ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: What happened, subsequently, is that some political losers went and saw the Cabinet Secretary. That is exactly why I want the Committee Chairman to listen. Some political losers went and saw the Cabinet Secretary, who listened to them. The Cabinet Secretary called me and I went to see him. I told him: “I do not know these fellows. It is only the Sub-County Commissioner who knows them. They are the right people. An assistant chief who had served for 17 years became number one in the interview.” So, we agreed. He wanted to stop the process, so that he could ... view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, later on, I called three hon. Members of this House namely; hon. Lekuton, hon. Lati and hon. Sakuda. We went and told the Cabinet Secretary: “Do not interfere with the Provincial Administration recommendations.” The Cabinet Secretary promised not to do so. He said: “I was misled.” That is why I am asking what his role is in the appointment of chiefs and assistant chief. There was an approval for the appointment of those people but just because of politics, they have been denied their rights. view
• 27 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: This House must defend the rights of citizens. Doing so is part of the responsibility of this House. So, this is a straightforward case. They have re-advertised the positions. Somebody who has a letter of acting in appointment written by the County Commissioner; somebody who has been awarded an acting allowance has been denied his right. The said chief comes from my constituency. He is a Christian. He is actually a pastor. He holds a diploma. He has served for 17 years. The individual who wants to take the position is a relative of a Member of County Assembly (MCA), ... view
