• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, three months ago, I sought a Ministerial Statement on the presence of Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) in Wajir North Constituency. The Minister concerned assured the House that the OLF people will leave that constituency. However, after three months of waiting, there has been no action against OLF in Wajir North and they have kept on increasing in number. As it was reported yesterday, there are now more than 100 people with guns and bombs. They are being supported by two ex-chiefs in my constituency and a lawyer who is based here in Nairobi. The Government ... view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought I should, at least, give the background of this issue. That is because three months ago, I had sought a Ministerial Statement and I was promised that action will be taken. Those are foreigners and the Government keeps on giving information that they will be dealt with. But up to now, they have not done anything. What action is the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security taking to make sure that these people are out of Wajir North Constituency? view
• 24 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. We are talking of retired chiefs and not chiefs. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for your consideration. It is not only in Kibwezi where roads have been washed by the rains. At the moment, this Member of Parliament is unable to access his own constituency. Seriously, the road between Malka-Gufu-Buna- Korondile-Moyale is cut off. May be the Assistant Minister can help me by giving me a chopper to go to my constituency. I request the Assistant Minister to give immediate emergency funds for this road which is about 85 kilometres. view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like the Assistant Minister to deny or accept that in North Eastern Province there are 651 KPR guns, and a single district has more than 844 guns. This is the case and yet we have 14 districts in North Eastern Province. For example, Wajir North, which is on the border, has very few guns. Could the Assistant Minister deny or accept those figures? view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Education, in which I would like him to provide the number of clerical officers, drivers and subordinate staff members who have been shortlisted from Wajir North District. I understand that the employment of simple clerical officers, subordinate staff members and drivers for this Ministry is being done at the national level, and I am aware that there is nobody from Wajir North District who has been shortlisted for interview. So, could the Minister issue the Ministerial Statement and clarify this issue before the House goes ... view
• 1 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am a little bit confused because what we have been discussing was the Proposed Constitution of Kenya. At the commencement of business we find, in the Motion, the words “to approve the Draft Constitution”. When did the Proposed Constitution become “Draft Constitution”? view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this amendment. view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I think it is hypocritical for some of us to keep on claiming that only security issues are paramount for this country. When issues of minorities come here, you shoot them down. When issues are sponsored by a given party, we shoot them down. But when Maj-Gen. Nkaissery and the Minister concerned with security rise up here, they tell us to support them. Issues affecting minorities are not being supported in this House. It is not only the issues of security that are paramount to this nation. There are huge issues which we need to talk about. Everything here has ... view
• 31 Mar 2010 in National Assembly: I am now discovering that this Constitution is serving the interest of the powerful people. Minorities have not been given a chance. The majority are ruling over the minority. The rich are trampling the poor. We need to be rational on every issue, but not just a single issue. view
