• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, also aligned to that is the security situation in our country. We know a lot has to be done to contain these threats we are seeing here and there. The most recent was the one that occurred yesterday in Eastleigh. This is very unfortunate. However, in his Public Address, the President said that his administration has tried to reduce the police ratio to the citizens in terms of service.

• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: On the issue of orphans, disabled, elderly and the urban poor where cash transfers of about Kshs.1 billion has been injected, it is estimated that half a million households will benefit. This is very commendable because it is cushioning the poor from the high cost of living. Let me also say that the infrastructure that is being put in place by this Government within one year, if you take for instance the Lamu-Lokichar and Lamu- Moyale Road, you will find that it is very commendable and I want to thank the President for that. view
