• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in addition to reinforcing this cadre of our police system which is the KPR, we really need to change the mindset of our security system. For the information of hon. Members who do not come from these areas and who have been to these places, is it acceptable that over 100 people meet somewhere, collate themselves, walk over 100 kilometres and decimate whole villages? They collect over 1,000 animals and if they meet police on the way, like they did in Baragoi, they kill them? First, they are not stopped and nobody is aware of this ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have had conflicts all over. Two of my villages were burnt down almost four months ago and until two days ago, no soldier had been there. This is because those are clan conflicts. Those are not security problems. A KPR officer was killed there. I can bet that his name will not be entered in the Occurrence Book (OB). There is no investigation. So, that mindset in this country must change. The approach to security is still very colonial and reactive. We must come up and this House must help to overhaul our security system. ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: the ones we are talking of in Turkana, Marsabit and other places are poor people looking after their goats. They have volunteered to defend those communities but where are the police and the CID? Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in my view, this group must be absorbed in the cadre of police even if it means we create that cadre in this Parliament. I want to agree with the hon. Member from Turkana who said that regular police would not want to go after cattle rustlers. In the old days, the people we recruited into the police force had a calling, ... view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is only my laptop that I am carrying. view
• 18 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, it is only the laptop and those things that go with it, the Ipad. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am going to seek a very simple clarification, so that the House can understand that it is not the whole of the two counties that are completely on fire. The fighting between the two clans is happening in Mandera. The clashes have spilled over to Wajir. It was very clear in our agreement with the Government that the officers that were to be transferred were those who hail from Mandera. We have another security problem in Wajir, namely, Al Shabaab, although the local security officers have so far done very well. We managed to recover ... view
• 9 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Chairlady, I would like to support the deletion because in the new Constitution, we have created two governments with different functions but there are grey areas. Through the disputes resolution mechanism that has been created, which is very clear in the Act, we want people to explore so that those functions become clear. Adding a clause that discourages people is not good because the moment you say you will be personally responsible, nobody will want to go through the system. Let what this Sub-section 3 is advocating for be within the Law Society so that if lawyers continuously take ... view
• 8 May 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. I wish to also support this Bill, but hopefully, I intend to bring some amendments. I have reservations on what has been mentioned by others, but I want to expand on it. In 1965, through the Sessional Paper No.10, somebody decided that there are areas with potential and defined what that is; if I remember correctly, it was areas with tarmac roads, good rainfall and people who accept development. From that statement that was passed in this august House, the people of the ASAL areas and northern Kenya suffered for over 50 years. In this ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think they should be coming anytime now. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think we should discuss that because I just talked to him and he said--- Mr. Duale, being in hospital does not mean that he is admitted and I do not think we should go further than that discussing it. I am sorry that I actually mentioned it. view
