• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was saying that the earlier the Chair nominates the membership of the Kenyan Chapter of IPU, the better. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, the Leader of Government Business has said that we shall reflect on the national reconciliation and healing. It is important to reflect what happened in January. I think it was a low moment in this country. I think it was a shame. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, between January and now, I have a very strong feeling that, as a country, we are almost losing our sovereignty. While I appreciate the efforts taken ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me try to be brief. I think the hon. Member wants me to be brief. The other point I have concerning the Waki Report is that as we debate it, let us think about this country. Let us put the interests of Kenya first. I am glad that I belong to a political party called ODM(K), which is not spending sleepless nights over that envelope because we were determined to be the party of choice. That is the party that, in many ways, stabilized this country when we were in a crisis. The leadership of ... view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: I know this because that is obvious! That is a very obvious statement! The whole country knows that we are not there. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am saying that we must implement that report, in order to fight impunity, using institutions that belong to Kenya. I suggest that the element of foreign judges working in Kenya, should be done away with. Let us use Kenyan judges and deal with Kenyan criminals the Kenyan way. Finally, I would like to talk about the security situation in Mandera. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not said that they are criminals; I think the hon. Member must have misunderstood me. view

• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In view of the fact that, hon. Members are unanimous on this matter, would I be in order to ask you to put the Question? view
• 12 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me this opportunity to associate myself with this important Motion. I begin by thanking Ms. A. Abdalla for thinking about this important aspect of our lives. Many times we do not give enough attention to this issue. The issue of drugs, particularly the effect that it has on young people in this country, is devastating. I am surprised that in over 40 years since Independence we have never felt obliged to come up with an elaborate method of dealing with this issue. The Mover has, in a very elaborate way, informed ... view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. On 3rd November, 2008, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the status of a security operation in Mandera District. view
• 11 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, this is a very sad issue. First of all, the Assistant Minister has admitted total Government failure to protect the citizens and secondly, to secure our borders; this conflict has been internationalised. I would like to ask him what the security forces have been doing when foreign militia are gaining access into the territory of Kenya and causing mayhem. Secondly, I would like to find out from the Assistant Minister why he found it necessary to physically assault chiefs who are the representatives of the Government on the ground. They were beaten up.
