• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is a bit surprising and I think it is shameful that six armed Kenyan police officers got detained in Comoros one month ago – almost a whole month – and it took the intervention of hon. Yusuf Hassan. It is just after they realized the Question was appearing on the Order Paper that these Kenyans will be released this afternoon. Why did it take a whole month for him to release these Kenyans and subjected their families to unnecessary anxiety if it was not laziness on the part of the Government? view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Immigration and Registration of Persons:- (a) whether he is aware of the many Kenyans who have registered as refugees in camps and have been denied national ID cards; (b) what measures have been put in place to assist them to acquire the document; and, (c) whether he could provide a list of names of the affected persons. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily I thank the Minister but on this one I am not going to thank him at all; it is unfortunate that in this country today young Kenyans are flocking to refugee camps because the services provided in the camps are much better than what the host communities get.

• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot see any other reason not to thank the Minister because he has given a very strong commitment, but the number I have given view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is, indeed, a very difficult thing to understand this Ministerial Statement. From the outset, I would like to state that nobody supports view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are definitely not convinced that the 1,600 students cheated because there is no possibility of collusion over a distance of 1,500 kilometres between Mandera and Ijara, with students colluding in the same manner. I want the Minister to consider establishing a special audit committee to investigate this matter. There should be an independent team from his office or otherwise to investigate this matter to convince us, as parents, and the students that actually there was collusion. Could he consider establishing such a committee to convince us that the 1,500 students cheated? view

• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Yesterday, this House was in full anticipation of a statement from the Prime Minister which was later promised by the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. We are all ready and prepared this afternoon to listen to the Statement from the Prime Minister. view
