• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, His Excellency President Mwai Kibaki immediately sent a condolence message to the President of Uganda, Yoweri Museveni yesterday on 12th July, 2010, and also spoke to him on phone, following the twin bomb attacks. President Kibaki condemned the atrocities and pledged that Kenya Government would fully support efforts of Ugandan security personnel in tracking down the culprits. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you may be aware, there are tens, if not hundreds of thousands of Kenyans living in Uganda, including approximately 30,000 students studying in various institutions. My Ministry has been liaising with our ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, can I answer the first three? view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with Mr. Maalim that that should be done. I hope that tomorrow morning or afternoon, we will have an opportunity to observe a moment of silence in respect to the departed brothers and sisters. It is also important to note that our President has sent a message of condolences in writing and has spoken to his counterpart. I have done the same and I believe this afternoon before Mr. Maalim walked in, I was speaking on behalf of this Parliament and the people of Kenya. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government in ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, to answer Mr. Mungatana’s question, yes, the cache of arms in Narok and the arrest of the 300 bomb detonators causes concern. It also reassures us that our security systems are working. That is how we bust Narok and Rongai. We have bust many more that have not come to the fore of the media and Kenyans. I assure hon. Members and the rest of Kenyans that we are secure, and that the Ministries responsible, that is the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and the Ministry of State for Defence that ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, from hon. Konchella, the law is very clear. Any person who enters this country is required by law to declare their status. If you are a tourist, casual visitor or business person coming for a conference, for whatever reason, there is a requirement under the Immigration Act for one to declare their status. But the fact that people do not, it does not mean that there is no law. I think it is important for people to do that. That is why the Ministry of Immigration and that of Internal Security have been from time ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, once again, on behalf of all the colleagues in this National Assembly, I send our very sincere and heartfelt condolences to our brothers and sisters in Uganda and assure them that we are together in this, and we will be able to stand by them at any rate in any event on all issues. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Keynan may have come in late. At no time, in all I have said here, have I, even by innuendo or conjecture, talked of Kenya being engaged militarily in Somalia. I have not. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this country, its people and Government know their priorities. We know our strategic interests and our security needs, including in relation to Somalia. The Government will not waver on pursuing these interests within the context of our foreign policy that it starts with looking in the region, sub-region and going beyond our continent. view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Deputy Speaker as you know, always speaks with a lot of passion on matters of Somalia. But the issues he was raising are the same issues I talked about. All I said was we have strategic and security interests. But we are a region. We are a team leader in this region. We have IGAD with whom we have worked very strenuously to bring normalcy to Somalia. We will continue working with IGAD because with IGAD and the AU, we can do a lot better than we can do alone as an individual country. ... view
• 13 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Finally, I agree with hon. Keynan that there is some thriving war economy in Somalia. There is no doubt about that. Some of the money finds its way here. I have on many occasions expelled some of those warlords when they come here. I have on many occasions imposed sanctions on them and told them that this cannot be a heaven for warlordism for people to come here and use Kenya as a pad for destabilising their country. But the bottom-line is that we, as Kenyans and particularly as leaders, must collectively work together without sending discordant voices on how ... view
