• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am on a point of order. My learned senior and teacher has whispered to me that the issue I was about to raise was raised yesterday and dealt with. I wanted to raise with the Chair the desire to have properly visible clocks on the walls of this Chamber and very important writings that used to be at the entrance. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Parliament can do better. What they do in other jurisdictions is the clock will be visible on the screen. I think this is an omission that may have been occasioned during the process of installing this. It can be improved so that every Member can see and check the time on their screen. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for interrupting my hon. Colleague. However, I want to request the Chair that in view of the tremendous interest we have in this matter, you allow each hon. Member just about three or five minutes, so that we can ventilate because everybody wants to speak on this issue. Other than the Mover of this Motion, the rest of us should be given about three minutes, so that we can make our points. view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. May I also join all colleagues in regretting the death of Sheikh Rogo and more so that he was shot in broad daylight in the company of his children and wife who is in hospital and whom we wish a quick recovery. What has been seen in Wajir, Garissa and Tana River, and now in Mombasa should act as a wakeup call to all of us particularly that we are headed to elections. I want to urge this House together with the Minister for Finance to allocate urgently enough resources to recruit more police officers ... view
• 29 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: You will recall what Kriegler and Waki told this country that we were terribly under-policed, and that the police force we had was inadequate to cope with the emergencies such as this. This House should take that extraordinary step to support the Executive with resources to recruit more police officers. What we are seeing is not just about criminals. There is a worrying trend of emergence of intolerance and extremism in this country. I saw, on the social media yesterday, somebody posting a message “ tumemalizana na nguruwe moja, tutatafuta ingine”, in reference to the shooting of view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support the Bill and I will be very brief. I want to urge the Minister, when it comes to the Committee Stage to simplify the manner in which petitions are presented. Persons who bring petitions to the House are groups of people, or individuals, who ordinarily either are unable to come to the House or do not have a Member who represents them to bring an issue to the House. Sometimes, they even look for an hon. Member who does not even represent them in their jurisdiction. I want to urge that, as Mr. Langat said, ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to support this Bill and urge the House to support, pass it and thereafter, strengthen and implement the content so that we can secure our country. With the growing levels of terrorism, extremism, intolerance and sophisticated crime, we need an equally sophisticated, empowered, well trained and responsive intelligence service to protect the people of this country. Previously, the intelligence service, better known in those days as Special Branch (SB), was notorious for doing everything but gathering intelligence. They were part of the brute side of the Police Force. They were notorious for torturing people. Indeed, ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Times have changed. The intelligence Service does not have to man, keep or own cells to incarcerate and torture people. They do not have the capacity to torment people. All they have is to gather intelligence and give early warning to the system, so that we are able to nib in the bud any dangers to our country. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you have seen what has been happening of late. I am sure if the intelligence service redoubled their efforts, this young extremists and intolerant characters that have been tossing explosive devices in houses of worship and social ... view
• 22 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I could see my fellow bull fighter following what I was saying. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we want to pay attention to flash points that we know, so that we can make sure that we will not have our children reading in our view
