• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no agreement in this issue. The gentleman wrote this letter which I will table agreeing that the matter be settled amicably and compensation given to him. Therefore, the Government will have nothing to do in this case. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Ministry of State for Defence has got no right to limit the freedom of citizens. If they want to visit clubs and meet with British soldiers and get clobbered, it has nothing to do with the Ministry of State for Defence. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is the hon. Assistant Minister--- view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Is the hon. Assistant Minister in order to impute improper motive on the security and the establishment of Defence Forces? Can he substantiate or withdraw his remarks and apologise to the House? view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I will be very brief in support of this very important Motion. First of all, let me take this opportunity to commend and congratulate the Kenya Defence Forces for a work well done. Our defence forces, as you know, are unmatched in this region. This is both in terms of discipline and professionalism. We have shown the world that training pays. The request by the Ministry through the Cabinet that we convert the defence forces to be part of AMISOM is very important. How can we convert our troops to be part of AMISOM to keep peace in Somalia? view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Member for Lagdera when he was contributing said we will convert “ Linda Nchi ” to “ Okoa Somalia ”. That is really the message of peace. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for Kenya to convert its armed forces to be part of AMISOM, we will take professionalism there. We are now in Somalia because of national security interest. That is why we are there. That is why the Cabinet approved the Kenya Defence Forces to operate there. They have not let us down. They have shown bravery. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the strategy, and I happen to be one of the developers of that strategy, is to prevent, deter and defeat. This is what we are doing. The Al shabaab has been playing around with the Kenyan people. We moved in and now we are defeating them. Now we will convert, if this Parliament approves, to be part of the peace support operation in Somalia under the umbrella of AMISOM. We moved into Somalia under the UN Article 51 in self-defence. That is why we are there. That is why we have done a good job. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to bring very fundamental issues here. One, as we convert to be part of AMISOM, we want to know command and control aspect. Will our soldiers be under the command of AMISOM, or are we going to operate as a sector, so that we maintain respect and professionalism? That is one thing which will be decided at the AU. view
