• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to military procedure, if you are not found guilty, you remain in the barracks. You report to the guardroom continuously until your case is determined. So, that soldier was not detained; he was just in the barracks as required by the law. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, the ex-serviceman was a clerk in the salaries department. He was found to be responsible for fraud cases involving his view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the hon. Member is a lawyer. In the Armed Forces, the commanding officer is the judge according to the Armed Forces Act. He would better read it. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, I can bring the particulars of the case. But I do not have them now. view
• 19 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is because of the level of fraud. The fraud was detected at the level of the corporal. That is why I am saying that he is responsible as an individual in the particular section. That is because he was dealing with that particular section of salaries. On the issue of fraud, he actually did it himself. He tried to get money. If you want all the details, I will bring them as the hon. Member is saying. I can bring the things later on! view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. I thank the Mover of the Motion. This is a very important Motion for our country. Space technology is very important for any nation, particularly when it comes to issues of national security. There are several things that we can do if we have a space agency in this country. Space technology can give this nation knowledge on how to monitor the weather conditions, Tsunamis, monsoons and drought. We will be able to tell that this country is going to face ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for example, the Indian Ocean has been invaded by pirates – people who have been able to come, kidnap tourists and run away to Somalia. We could have been able to follow them if we had satellites since they would be able to inform the ground troops and security troops at which particular position these terrorists are. We would really be able to track and get them before they reach their destination. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, cyber terrorism is becoming an issue. Therefore, if we have this space technology we will be able to counter it. I understand that in our country today, there are even areas that are not covered by communication, including cellphone communication because we do not have our own satellites. If we had our own space agency, we would be in a position to put up our own satellites in space. We would be in a position to cover every place of this nation. Communication would be very easy. Any person anywhere in Kenya would be able ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do have a National Space Secretariat, which is actually under my ministry. Unfortunately, it has not been operationalised. I want to say that this is the time for it to be operationalised; the Mover of the Motion has really taken the initiative to ask the Government to wake up, so that we can operationalise this secretariat. So, for obvious reasons, we do not have really to dwell on the necessity of this technology. What is important is for the Government to create a National Space Agency, operationalise the secretariat and make sure we have ... view
• 8 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I think it is wrong for the hon. Member to play with national security issues. I think it is very well known that without security, there will be nothing else. Is the hon. Member in order to keep on trivializing national security, especially defence? view
