• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to support the Motion. I want to commend the Committee for a job very well done. It is quite clear from the findings of the Committee that the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK) as a regulator failed miserably and also that intervention by the Government came a little too late. It is, therefore, also clear that both the regulator and the Ministry of Finance knew they had a responsibility to intervene but deliberately waited for the banks to make a kill before intervening. What we need to know is that when inflation goes high, ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, although in many countries there are no laws capping the interest rates, the effective regulations ensure that interest rates stay in manageable digs. I therefore say that this Report is a wakeup call to the Government. Let us pass it and then pull for the implementation of recommendations. I will not go on to read the recommendations. I am sure the mover of the Motion did that. I want to once again commend the Committee and call on us, as the House, to pass this Report. I beg to support. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise in support of the Motion. This is about our internal security. Sometimes, internal security can be threatened by external matters. We remember the incident in Lamu where people from across the border came to abduct tourists and threatened our homeland security. I, therefore, from the outset, want to say that I support Operation Linda Nchi and commend our armed forces for a job well done. I also appreciate the fact that they are now joining African Union Mission for Somali (AMISOM). That is because Kenya should not be an occupational force. ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, may I call upon the police and all the security operators to up their game. Let us show the seriousness that our armed forces have shown in Operational Linda Nchi . Let the police borrow a leaf from the Armed Forces and do a thorough job, so that we can be secure, not only at the border points, but also within our borders. view

• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the Assistant Minister’s answer it would appear that the main charge against the four officers is that from 3.00 p.m. when they engaged in investigating this Chinese national, they took him to the police station at night notwithstanding the fact that they had to verify very many forms and other accessories. If the officers are being charged and have been dismissed for that lapse of time, what about the officer who released the Chinese national when there was prima facie evidence that he had committed a crime? Who is that officer and has action been taken ... view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister for Lands:- (a) whether he is aware that Government land numbers LR. 209/10219 and LR 209/10220, situated in Mukuru kwa Reuben and meant for a community school, police post and dispensary, were illegally consolidated and issued to an individual as LR. 209/11887; view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (b) whether he is also aware that the said land has been used to secure a loan; and, (c) what measures he will take to ensure the said parcel of land reverts to the community. view
• 13 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have no objection to that and I am willing to share documents with the Assistant Minister to show that a school exists. Some of them are photographs which I have already given him. However, I would have been happier if we did it on Thursday, this week. However, I will not contest the date. view
• 22 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am just seeking your guidance and really pleading with you to let a few more of us give our condolences. It is a unique thing; the passing of a Member. I really want to plead with you. I know you had given your ruling but it is within your discretion to extend a little. view
