• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on a matter that you have just expressed to the hon. Member for Konoin. This Question was on the Order Paper last week and there was just some little information remaining that the Assistant Minister was supposed to furnish the House with. Perhaps, the Assistant Minister can go on. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the assumption is--- view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to misinform the Prime Minister regarding a matter that the Prime Minister is not seized of at the moment? The Prime Minister is seized of the issue of the Mombasa Republican Council (MRC)? On what grounds is he misinforming the Prime Minister? view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also thank the Prime Minister for the Statement. The issues raised by the MRC, as the Prime Minister himself has confirmed, are genuine and current, which require a quick resolution. This group has the support of the entire communities within the Coast Province in as far as the articulation of issues is concerned, save for secession or other hostile activities. I want the Prime Minister to consider whether, in fact, as the Government, they should be able tone down their aggressive fight or the manner in which they are engaging these youth violently and, ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from the outset, I want to thank and congratulate the Member for Kamukunji for bringing this matter before the Floor of the House, so that we can ventilate and speak on it, since it is of great national importance. I want to condemn this act of brutality and violence against innocent civilians and request the Government --- When these incidents happen, always there are statements by the Government that they will leave no stone unturned until the ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: have so easy an access? Next time, they will come and bomb Parliament, and we will say that it is Al Shabaab. So, I think it is important that before the Government issues a Statement, it should be sure, otherwise, the credibility of Government statements will be questioned. You must be sure and have sufficient intelligence. You must announce what you know. Do not just give us an excuse because it is something that is in favour with the country. It could be a criminal gang operating here in Nairobi, and you might be blaming it on a matter that ... view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as somebody who has been an ambassador, I know that we advised about seven years ago that we had to get this engagement early enough, so that we could deter these people. The interest of Kenya was to be able to make Kenya safe. However, we allowed these criminal gangs to operate along our border with Somalia, to manufacture and recruit. It has now become more expensive to engage them. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: I want to raise a matter that I want the Minister to deliver to the Minister for Foreign Affairs or, if he has an opportunity, to discuss with the President. Security engagement alone is not enough. There is need to engage in a political process. What is lacking now is a robust political engagement by Kenya, so that when we liberate the areas between Kismayu and Garissa, Wajir and Mandera Counties, the people who live in those areas will have the capacity to govern themselves. We do not want our military forces to stay there indefinitely. It is not in ... view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to join hon. Twaha in congratulating the Kenya Embassy and the Ambassador in Riyadh for a job well done. But the Minister knows that they have bilateral agreements with friendly governments, and I am sure that Saudi Arabia is a friendly Government. Why can they not have an arrangement with the Embassy in Nairobi to deny visas to those Kenyans that they think are going to seek jobs, even where those jobs do not exist, instead of bringing back the burden to the Ministry of Labour? That is, because there is always a problem here. view
