• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the question of security is a very dear in our Ministry. As I speak now, we are dealing with the situation on the ground. Why I was saying next week, but I can even bring it on Thursday this week; that is, because the issues are cross-cutting. You are asking the humanitarian aspect and the foreign troops. I think there are no foreign troops in our country and I can say that even here. But I will bring the Statement on Thursday next week. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I undertake to bring the Statement on Tuesday. Whatever the report is, this is outrageous because the allegation touches on national security which states that the military is actually transporting drugs. If this is true, we will deal with the people involved. This is an outrageous allegation, but I will bring the Statement on Tuesday next week. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I stand to support this important Motion. We convened yesterday for a very important job of this House; to get the Constitution of this country running. So, we came to withdraw the two Bills so that they can follow the constitutional process. We are 24-hour workers of this country and the Government did not do anything wrong by putting that as one of the agenda. We are though with that and prepared to go back and tackle the issues that are affecting this country. They are very critical issues. One ... view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will take that information very positively. It is the responsibility of Dr. Lumumba to find out if there are any corrupt practices in the Ministry of State for Defence. Everybody who is concerned should carry his own cross. We will not condone corruption even if it is in the Ministry of State for Defence. So, if Dr. Lumumba thinks that there is corruption in the Ministry of State for Defence, he is free to investigate. view
• 19 Jan 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are adjourning so that we can go to address these issues and bring them to the House. The other issue which I want the Members to address is the issue of the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs). Before we adjourned, some money was set aside to deal with the issues of these unfortunate citizens. It is the right time for the concerned hon. Members to go to their constituencies and see to it that these citizens return to where they belong. Finally, I want to say something about the Constitution. There are several laws which need to ... view
• 22 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand here to oppose the amendment. I think it is high time this august House speaks for Kenyans. Every Kenyan has the opportunity to see to it that this Constitution is fully implemented. I do not see any quality a person will bring to the implementation of the Constitution by being from a particular region. Therefore, removing the lady so that somebody from the Rift Valley Province to which I belong--- Which part of the Rift Valley? Is it Kajiado County, Narok County or which county? We have no regions any more. Let us behave ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I find this Motion very unfortunate. As the former Chair of the Amani Forum, I believe that this very honourable House of the Republic of Kenya has no right to discuss issues of another nation. I do not see the role that Kenya will be playing. Apart from supporting a peaceful referendum in Southern Sudan, I do not see any other reason as to why the Parliament of the Republic of Kenya should be prompting the outcome of another country’s referendum. I seek your direction on this Motion because I do not think it is necessary. view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion. Initially, I did not want this Motion to go on because I was of the view that it may degenerate into a circus. However, I am one of the Parliamentarians who went to the Southern Sudan. I went there as a friend of Southern Sudan. I participated in the peace process of Sudan as a military general. I was an advisor to the peace process for two and a half years. The aim of our country is to bring peace to Sudan. That is why we are the ... view
• 16 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: For this reason, we think, as a country, that this Motion is very important. We need to urge the Sudanese people, both the Northerners and the Southerners, to conduct the referendum in peace. This country is impartial. We are neutral as far as we are concerned. I think this Motion is trying to pass the message of neutrality. With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
