• 6 May 2021 in National Assembly: issues. We may have a junior police officer and Officer Commanding Station (OCS) who is ineffective but the Inspector-General of Police cannot do anything about it because the process of the National Police Service takes very long before action is taken. Security is a very serious issue that requires quick response. In every constitution-making process, of course, there are those parts which might not be favouring certain areas of a country. The problem I have with the BBI Bill is the emphasis on population in resource allocation. We come from areas that are vast. I do not understand why important ... view

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this important Bill. First of all, I want to congratulate the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security for coming up with it. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Drug trafficking in this country is a very serious issue. The use of drugs is directly proportional to the level of crimes generally. In countries where we have the highest prevalence of drug usage, especially in Latin America, this is where you find the highest murders in the world. The use of these banned substances leads people to engage in crimes. In a country where we have high level of unemployment, drug trafficking becomes a menace. Because these youths do not have gainful engagement, they are easily lured to be drug peddlers. Because this Bill has punitive measures and enhanced ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: My greatest concern is that areas that were traditionally considered as drug trafficking free are nowadays a haven for drug traffickers, especially in Northern Kenya. We have a huge border with our neighbouring countries, especially in Ethiopia, which is hard to man. We have witnessed in the last couple of years serious business of drug trafficking. We have a thriving drug trafficking business. It comes all the way from border areas like Moyale and El Wak. It passes through Mandera and Wajir, and comes all the way to Isiolo and finally into the Capital City of Kenya. I am sure ... view

• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: If we concentrate on the preventive aspect of this drug business, then we are likely to deal with the whole problem. Sometime in 2019, I remember a young promising businessman, barely in his 30s, was killed by a speeding Land Cruiser which overran his saloon car. Mr. Deco was a very good friend of mine. These people drive in a killer speed and they have no regard for the law because they are carrying contrabands. They overran this young man who was driving his saloon car and it was a very tragic incident. Many areas have reported such incidents. view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: We even have police officers who help these drug traffickers. That area is so vast and is very hard to manage. We even had an incident a month ago in Isiolo, where a team of multi- agencies who were on the trail of some drug traffickers were ambushed and about three of them were injured. This Bill proposes some punitive measures. This Committee has done a wonderful job and I greatly support this Bill. view
