• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it can be true. Migingo Island alone has a population of about 400 people and that is a big number. Anything can happen when they are fishing. I am also aware that the Ugandan authorities had imposed some heavy fines on the fishermen on the Kenyan side. They asked them to pay about Kshs40,000 per year. All this will not happen once we sort out the issue with the Ugandan authorities this month in Mombasa. All those foreigners who are occupying islands in this country will not be accepted unless they follow the required channels. They ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it will be very difficult and hard on our part to know who has paid what. We will compensate the fishermen by removing the Ugandan forces from that island. EVICTION OF KANGEMI DAM RESIDENTS FROM PLOTS LR.22767/LR.22768 view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. You have heard the hon. Member accuse Ministers of harassing the District Officer. Would I be in order to ask that he explains to us whether he is talking about former Ministers or current Ministers? view

• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, on 4th November, 2008, hon. Mohammed Affey, a nominated Member of Parliament, rose on a Point of Order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the state of insecurity in Mandera District. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the security operation in Mandera East and Mandera Central districts is founded on the illegal arms in the hands of civilians. The clashes between the Garre and Murule clans date back to the year 2005, when the two engaged in violent clashes, leaving several innocent people dead and scores injured. ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that my friend, Mr. Affey, is asking some of these questions. First of all, the Government is in full control. Had we not moved swiftly and fast enough, we would have had more casualties than we have experienced. Secondly, we have called for meetings with the northern Kenya hon. Members and Mr. Affey has never November 11, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3347 attended any peace meeting with us. view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are dealing with a grave matter here. This case is not something to laugh about. It involves loss of lives of people in northern Kenya. Over the weekend, we were in Garissa. We invited all hon. Members from the area, and all of them came except my friend, Mr. Affey. So, I am just saying that team work will bring peace. Any time where there is a security operation, there will be some casualties. But the chiefs who were arrested were arrested because they were aiding the militia groups from Somalia and Ethiopia. What do ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start by responding to what Dr. Nuh asked. There was a peace accord which was signed between the two clans. One of them did not honour it. What are we doing as a Government? We are putting them together so that they can agree and live peacefully amongst themselves. With regard to the other issue raised by Mr. Kapondi, I would like to say that any time there is a problem within an area, there must be a cause. So, you have to go to the root cause of the problem so that we ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is why I am constituting a committee to investigate all these allegations. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The alleged Police Constable No.70025, Ex-P.C. Alex Muriuki Kiramana, was not a serving police constable on the day he met his death.

(b) Following the shooting to death of the suspect, a police file Maua Criminal.147/116/2007 and Inquest File No.14/2008 were opened. The matter is still under investigation pending the arrest of the escaped suspects. The Magistrate will peruse the Police Inquest File No.14/2008 and rule on the circumstances ... view
