• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, on Thursday, the 7th November, 2013, at about 7.30 p.m. some gunmen, unknown assailants, went to the homestead of the hon. Aduma Owuor, somewhere in Nyabondo, Kabete in Nyakach Constituency. They found the mother, the father and a young man who works for the two old parents. It is very sad that these guys decided to tie up the young man somewhere around the gate. They then went ahead and killed the step mother, Madam Mary Owuor, who died at a kitchen, at 62 years of age. They then went ahead to the ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also important to note that the late Francis Owuor and his late wife, Mary Owuor, were also parents in-law of hon. Olago Aluoch, the hon. Member of Parliament for Kisumu West. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is very saddening to realize that soon after this, they have already started again sending threatening messages to hon. Aduma Owuor, whose parents were only killed last week. So, as a county of Kisumu we are worried because the cardinal function of any government is to protect the lives and property of its people. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are law abiding citizens as you know, we pay taxes and we belong to this Government. We are members of this country and we do not understand why all these things must continue day in, day out and without answers. On Friday, we went to the PC’s office and he did not have answers to give to us. In fact, the only promise he gave us was that the following day, the Cabinet Secretary in charge of Interior and Coordination of National Government, Mr. ole Lenku would be in the county. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I want to say from the Floor of this House that even the presence of the Cabinet Secretary did not add any value to the security situation in the county. Therefore, we are asking the Government--- We are not urging them. We are actually asking them to come to Kisumu County. A lot of times the President and his Deputy are all over and you do not understand why they do not come to the County of Kisumu and address this issue once and for all. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is also saddening that the heads of security ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you can imagine, people walking to the homestead of an hon. Member of Parliament, at about 7.30 p.m. - 7.30 p.m. in a village, unlike in a town, is still very early. They could do all this despite the fact that they knew very well, when you do such an act, there will be a lot of publicity by the Press urging the Government, and security agencies to do which they must do. Even after doing this, they still went ahead to send threatening messages to the bereaved hon. Member. I therefore ask my colleagues ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let us have hon. Yusuf Chanzu seconding the Motion. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I think we need to confirm to this House that we are not doubting the level of consultation this Bill may have gone through. However, we are raising issues of constitutionality. In fact, even if the CIC was consulted ten times, the Bill is brought to this House, we read it and find it unconstitutional we will still raise the matter. That is exactly what we are raising. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we are just requesting that you take your time as the gracious lady who is now in charge and heading this process to ensure that we do not come up with an issue that will later on haunt us. For sure, the constitutional questions involved in this case are very weighty and we do not need to move until this is determined. view
