• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: bloodshed, loss of life and property and untold suffering by the people of Lamu, not only in the areas that have been listed in this Question, but also other parts of Lamu County. I have been asked to tell this House and the people of Kenya whether those attacks are targeted against a particular community or religious group. The answer is in the negative. Those attacks are attacks by criminals who hide behind religion while they themselves are not religious. They hide behind religion to hurt other people not just in Lamu County but also in other parts of our ... view
• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Therefore, the operation in the Boni Forest is doing well. The last review of that operation was yesterday. I spent the whole day in Lamu. I sat with all the commanders in the National Police Service (NPS) and the Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF). I must also commend the working relationship between our officers from the organs of internal security and those of our national defence. They are working seamlessly and patriotically. They need our support and applause. That operation is effective but we keep improving every day so that we defeat this enemy. About a month ago, we published a ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. With regard to the issue of engaging communities in the fight against terror, we are in complete agreement with the sentiments by the Member for Garissa. I think going forward, beginning with what we were doing in Lamu yesterday, we want to foster ownership of the fight against sophisticated crime within communities. We want to anchor this and built trust among the various communities in whatever locality and also between communities and security agencies so that we can win this war. On the question of extrajudicial killings, the policy of Kenya Kwanza administration is zero tolerance ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: so that you can carry those communities on board so that, even after putting the beacons, they continue existing together. What is unique to us in Kenya and is not permissible is introducing crime in the discussion around boundaries. We have in various spaces increasingly introduced violence and crime in discussions around boundaries. For us, as security managers and law enforcers, we urge our fellow countrymen to remove violence and crime from discussions around boundaries and let the other civilian discussions around boundaries continue. We, in the Ministry of Interior and National Administration, will facilitate those discussions as quickly as ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: and giving them to innocent citizens of Kenya to kill their fellow citizens simply because they come from a different ethnicity. Again, Hon. Temporary Speaker, maybe I will expect some reactions when I come back to the House next time because we will be fair. We respect all leaders. We have a lot of respect for elected leaders but we have no respect for criminals. Lastly, Kisii and Nyamira counties have witnessed gang crime of late. It is not just Kisii and Nyamira but also Nakuru. There has been a resurgence even in a bit of Nairobi. We had made ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true there have been cases of insecurity in Mwingi Central and North. First, last month, I toured that area and measures were taken to ensure we manage the perennial conflicts between herders and farmers. Already, security committees with participation from elders and local leaders are coming up with a framework on how to manage these perennial disputes that lead to altercations and loss of lives from time to time.
