• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon.Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this Bill. From the outset, I sincerely support it, because I know the consequences of anti-personnel mines. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not think in military warfare there is another weapon which is deployed in the field and does not depreciate between the combatants and the civilians more than the mine fields are normally deployed, in most cases, in a low intensity conflict and not in a conventional environment. Therefore, if we take cognizance of global history, say during the Vietnam War, or during the S ... view
• 23 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: October, 1996 and the Brussels Declaration of June, 1997 came into effect requesting Governments, which had either ratified or signed the treaty, to assist in the UN efforts on this front. I am aware that we have trained and qualified people who are able to conduct proper anti-mine campaign in our country. I want to say that it is a good global effort which we should join, as a country, so long as there are people who are fighting legitimate governments because they may not have the muscle or what we call military prowess to confront those governments. They will ... view
• 14 Apr 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for this opportunity. At the outset, I want to give my condolences to the people of Kenya who lost their loved ones. In particular, I want to convey my condolences to the people of Kitui East who lost two students. What is interesting at the moment is that among those students who are unaccounted for, one comes from my constituency. At the outset, I want to say that insecurity in this country will not go away soon unless the Government addresses the problem of corruption. It is through corruption, through the mainstream Government, through ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this Motion, in support of the nominee. view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to be on record that I have known Gen. Tumbo for all the years he has been in the military, together with me. I will not say what I want to say about him because he comes from my county, but because he is a man of great integrity. We have served together in the military, and I want to inform this House that to be an Ambassador in South Sudan or Somalia at the moment, is not business which can be taken by anybody. We need people with great security background, just like my friend, ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Gen. Tumbo has enough experience. Currently, as we all know, Somalia is undergoing low intensity conflict. It requires somebody with strategic intelligence knowledge. He also has immense knowledge of conflict resolution, among other things he will be championing in Somalia. Somalia is a country of strategic interest in this region. I am aware that Gen. Tumbo has what it takes to promote regional security. Security is the backbone of regional economy. Until Somalia stabilises, we should not expect to see much economic activities not only in Kenya, but also in the entire region. I am fully aware that ... view
• 18 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I beg to support. view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman for the opportunity. I equally support the removal of (e),that is Cabinet Secretaries, Attorney-General and Auditor-General. However, I strongly recommend that former presidents and prime minister be accorded use of sirens for the following reason: Use of a siren is not just allowed because you want a clear way. There is an element of security involved, especially for those who are entitled to it. Therefore, I recommend that former presidents and prime ministers be allowed use of sirens. Thank you. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to intervene that any Kenyan holding a public office cannot be protected in his office if he is not doing what he is supposed to do. view
• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: I do not think it is fair for my colleague here to come and say that Mr. Nyachae’s name should not have been mentioned yesterday. view
