• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sympathize with the situation on the ground on the use of a vehicle which travels 300 kilometres away. But I want to assure my friend that we are going to do all that it takes to repair the vehicle and return it immediately to Marsabit for their use. I am glad that even the issue of banditry has gone down. That came as a result of the frequent patrols which my officers are doing. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is very right to say that the Government is in the process of auctioning. The Government has not auctioned those vehicles; so, we do not have the funds now. But I want to assure the hon. Member that we have actually gotten the funds which we are going to use for the repairs of that vehicle. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: That is a good question, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It depends on how fast the repairs will be done. We have the money already and once we tow the vehicle in two week's time, within a month, once we get the spares--- view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, within one month, I think the vehicle will be ready for use. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, Land Rovers are the best four-wheel-drive utility vehicles we have in the country for any terrain. They have never let us down. The only thing which is required is to put in good money for purposes of maintenance. If we put good money for maintenance of the vehicles, they will last longer than the rest of the vehicles. I have never heard of any manufacturer’s defect. If there is any, maybe, my attention has not been drawn to that. So, I will not be able to answer that particular question. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite important that the security of this country must be given priority. Each and every Kenyan must get security. We are also trying to do that. Imagine that 40 million Kenyans must be provided with security and we have done it successfully. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the issue of these other vehicles, they were reclaimed because they are fuel guzzlers. So, if I take back the vehicles for re-distribution, it will not beat the same logic. So, once these vehicles are sold as-is-where-is basis, then we can take the proceeds and purchase the Land Rovers which are handy and, in fact, which will go to any terrain. They have served us very well. I believe that my colleagues have been very supportive in terms of security and that is why the rate of insecurity is now going down. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, a vehicle having a breakdown does not necessarily mean that the Government is not serious about security. A vehicle is just to facilitate the movement from point A to B. We are going to supplement with the use of motorbikes for security purposes. I am going to buy 200 motorbikes to supplement the movement within Nairobi City and then spread it to other cities. Priority number one of any Government is security. I think we are doing very well on the side of security. The rate of insecurity has gone drastically down because of the ... view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that his constituency is quite expansive. I will try my level best to fast-track the repairs of this vehicle for it to be redeployed back to Laisamis. view
• 7 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: 17 Wednesday, 7th April, 2010(A) POSTING OF MEDICAL DOCTOR TO MARSABIT NORTH DISTRICT view
