24 May 2012 in National Assembly:
On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I was very categorical because there are no issues in Mandera. The irrigation programme is cross-cutting the three constituencies of Mandera West, Mandera Central and Mandera East. The three Members of Parliament have met over this issue. There has been no complaint from the ground or any problem. But the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has not commenced this project. So, could he tell us why he has delayed since there are no issues there?

23 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to seek a clarification from the Prime Minister on the issue of Somalia. As he is aware, Kenya has invested heavily, as he has also mentioned in his Statement, in getting peace in Somalia, for the last 21 years. Right now, he has said that over 4,000 of our Military personnel are in Somalia trying to secure peace there. We have heard that a number of countries have opened their embassies right in Mogadishu despite the insecurity there, so that they can create confidence for even the Somalis who can re-invest back in ...

Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to say that I am a member of the Committee. This Report was done quite a long time ago. I believe that it should have come before this House much earlier than now. That is because some of the cases are already far much ahead than when we started.

23 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am in agreement with the fact that, as citizens of this country, as responsible members of this nation, we should not, at any given time, condone any criminality, whether committed in Kenya or outside Kenya, whether by Kenyans or non-Kenyans. The fact that the incident that took place in Uganda was associated with terrorism, we should condemn it with the fullest condemnation. The fact is that terrorism is becoming a menace not only in Uganda, not only in East Africa, but the whole world. Kenya, in particular, has suffered as a result of terrorism threats. ...

23 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we sympathise with the criminal activity that took place in Uganda; the loss of lives and property. We also commend Uganda for deploying their forces in Somalia to bring back sanity inside Somalia. However, that does not justify any contravention of the law. We have the Constitution that clearly stipulates - as already mentioned by the Mover and Seconder--- The Constitution takes care of how criminal activities should be dealt with. Kenya is a member of the East African Community. Uganda is also a member. But we do not know of any rendition treaty between Uganda ...

23 May 2012 in National Assembly:
This is where we have a serious problem. Some of these people who have been taken there as suspects may not even have been suspects. It is the courts that should be able to get these facts on whether they are actually part and parcel of this terrorism or not.

23 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are asking our Government; whose responsibility was it to surrender these Kenyans to Uganda, if everybody is denying? If the Ministers and the Attorney-General are all denying and saying that they had no knowledge of who surrendered these suspects to Uganda, then who was behind it? Are there some authorities in this country who do not pass through the legal channels to ensure that proper and due procedure is followed? If the police were the ones behind this, then who were they taking orders from? The courts haven not sanctioned this; the Minister has ...

22 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to ask the Assistant Minister whether he is aware that between South C and South B, along the Mombasa Road, there are quite a number of people who cross this road and there is no flyover. Because of the high speed at which vehicles cruise along the highway, quite a number of people lose their lives as a result of accidents. If the Assistant Minister is aware of this, what will he do to ensure that these Kenyans are safe when they cross that road?

9 May 2012 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, this incident took place on 28th March, 2012, that is about one month and two weeks ago. Why is the Assistant Minister, through his officers on the ground, unable up to this time to know whose gun actually fired the bullet that killed this lady? Why has it taken too long to unearth this simple fact?
