• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, looking at this Ministry’s Budget, it is very much under-funded compared to its mandate. This Ministry is composed of two very important departments; the department of the Provincial Administration and that of the Internal Security, which has regular and Administration Police (AP). The cardinal responsibility of any Government is security of its citizens. So, if the Ministry with that mandate is under- funded then it becomes very difficult for it to fulfil its mandate. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard from the Chairman of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security alluding to the issue of one policeman to 450 people by the UN standards. In our case, it is one policeman to over 1,000 people. So, how do we expect them to be more effective and efficient? We, as a House, need to critically support issues of the national security. Without national security, there is nothing else we can do. There will be no development and education. No investors will come to this country. Therefore, we must be a serious law making institution. ... view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you cannot patrol our porous border, which is very expansive running between Mandera and Lamu. I know majority of my colleagues here do not know that, but I know. It is too big. To patrol that border, we require high mobility vehicles. We require communication equipment to be able to effectively guard this nation. I will recommend that every police station should at least have one vehicle and a motorbike. Those police stations in outer areas should be having at least two vehicles and effective communication equipment. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of morale is fundamental if we want to have efficient and effective security organs. We cannot achieve that if we do not give good housing to take care of the regular and Administration Police officers. We cannot achieve high morale unless we have given proper welfare due consideration. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as a House we need to say that the recommendation of this Ministry should be given due consideration. As you realise, we are undertaking police reforms. This is the right time that we take into consideration the issue of national security and fund it appropriately. view
• 24 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: With those very many remarks, I beg to support. view
• 19 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to second this very important vote. In doing so, I would like to take this opportunity first and foremost to commend the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance and his entire team for giving this country prudent fiscal leadership. view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support this Vote. It is very important that this Ministry is given serious support in terms of financing. This Ministry is the image of this country. When you travel all over the world and you get our diplomats, they portray this nation in a very positive and important way. But when you look at the amount of money the Ministry has been given and the professionalism that it is undertaking at the international and regional levels--- When you come closer home - in the Horn of Africa ... view
