• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an unfortunate case of denial by the Government. This lady was killed in 1994 in Garissa in full view of the public by a police officer. The matter has continued to raise concern in Garissa and among the family members. Could he confirm that, on this date, this lady was killed and it was reported? I know that there is an inquest file and we are going to provide it to the House but could he confirm that this lady was killed on this day? view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, of course, the Assistant Minister is making this matter seem very trivial. It is unfortunate, as my colleague has said that he is doing it in the presence of the Head of State. The family of the late Fatuma and, precisely, her husband Mr. Hussein, took the Attorney-General to court. The Assistant Minister has said that he has no knowledge of the matter; where the Attorney-General was taken to court by the family. I would like to table the evidence to that effect. Due to the nature of this matter, I request that we defer this Question ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in that case, I will lay on the Table the following documents to confirm that the police killed the late Fatuma. That is why the Attorney- General was taken to court. view

• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second this very important Motion. view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to really thank my friend, hon. Mbau, for bring this Motion before this House. This is a very important Motion that goes to the core of our national unity and stability. At one time, I brought before this House a Motion that requested the House to sit in other parts of Kenya, other than Nairobi, so that we could have a rotational sitting of Parliament in Garissa, North Horr, Turkana or the Coast. This House has an opportunity to be associated directly with the Kenyan people. I am glad that, ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Motion encourages national unity. Kenya is not a homogenous State. It is not like countries, particularly in the Arab world or even countries within the region like Somalia, where the language is one. Kenya has 48 or so ethnic communities and all those communities have got their own unique cultural affiliation and languages. If all us stood up on the Floor of this House and spoke in our mother tongue in terms of contributing to a debate, you can imagine the kind of chaos we will have in this very National Assembly. Therefore, that ... view
• 8 Jun 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there are departments today - and the honourable Mover has mentioned - in Government where people can transact official business in mother tongue; from the Managing Director all the way to the sweeper, without any problem. They discuss official business matters in their own mother tongue. This is dangerous and one of the reasons why this country lost after the last general election. This is one of the underlying critical reasons why, as Parliament, we need to confront this menace. We are going to bring this report before Parliament. The report does not target any ... view
