• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I stand to second this Motion. First of all, let me thank the Committee on Administration and National Security for a job well done. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, this is about a security project and I want to say that the cardinal responsibility of any government the world over is to provide security, and ensure that citizens and their properties are safe and they do business, or operate, in a secure environment. As has been said, over the last few decades, the nature of crime has become technology related. That is why those in the security sector keep saying that the fight against insecurity requires a paradigm shift in terms of techniques and technology. The project we are talking about, which is called the National Surveillance, ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: This is in terms of money laundering, frauds, and even other criminal offences. Criminals are now using technology such as internet and its other forms. We have in our country, as has been said by the mover earlier, long coastlines and porous borders. The Kenya-Somali border is very long and porous. A lot of human traffic goes through it; smuggling of weapons and drugs occurs through that border and coast lines. This has really increased armed criminal activities. Therefore, I call upon this country, especially the Ministry responsible for fighting crimes, to really look for advanced ways of fighting criminals. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: It is so difficult really to fight these criminals when we have ineffective communication systems that ensure that the response time is so low and when we also have obsolete communication systems used by our security agencies. Every time and I think also in this Financial year 2014/15, while this House was debating the budget we see an item in the police department, called modernization of police equipment and communication systems. I want to agree with the Mover of the Motion, that actually the bone of contention, during the inception of this project was when Safaricom Limited was awarded and ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, the genesis of it starts about 12 years ago when we started as a country to modernize our communication system with respect to fighting crimes. If you read the report of the Committee, it started in 2002 when Tetra Radio Limited was awarded a licence to provide trunk radio system or network for security and emergency cases. From that time, that system faced legal tussles from 2002 that went to court up to 2007. Another one was started in 2007 and again people moved to court up to 2012. Every time we try to modernize our security communication ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: end; the receiver and the sender. So, I have all the reason that our data security is taken care of. Therefore, I want to urge our colleagues. If we implement this system, it will even bring down some other costs that are being incurred now, especially when we talk of--- Last financial year the Government hired 1200 police vehicles. This financial year, what is in the budget is 2000 police vehicles; what we call immovable asset in terms of hardware. This is a computerized system that can bring some of those costs to some manageable levels or to have some ... view
• 20 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Health, together, with water is one of the devolved services. It is 100 per cent devolved and it is a very crucial service. We expected a lot to be done in terms of building new health facilities. Before, it was only the CDF which was used to build new facilities. Now that health services are fully devolved, the county governments should build more health facilities. We have seen in every county government very many ambulances. We expected health services to be a little bit better off with those ambulances. Drugs whose acquisition and storage are still ... view
