• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to voice my support for this Motion. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when this issue came to light for the first time, it was a shame that the Kenyan Government denied the existence of the recruitment of those youths into Armed forces of Somalia, to go and fight against the Transitional National Government (TNG). When such things come to the fore in such an instance that the Government with all the security apparatus, machinery and intelligence, is unable to view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: either confirm or deny the existence of Kenyan youth who are being recruited to go and join foreign forces, we are kept to wonder whether our own security is guaranteed by this same Government; and whether the illegal actions that are taking place within the country can be brought to the fore and attention of the public, so that, at least, they are deemed to take care. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if such an instance was denied its existence thereof by the Government and it came to the truth of the matter that even one of the recruits by the name Yunus Dere Buhat comes from my constituency--- His parents came to me asking to know why we have allowed Kenyan youths to be recruited. This same Government which is supposed to guarantee the security of its borders, public, populace, actions and omissions of whatever takes place in this country, was denying the real facts that were in existence. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we would want to go even further than this Report because it only recommends that investigations be done. I think the Kenyan Government is answerable to these people and it should answer its populace as to why it, indeed, refused to acknowledge the existence of a fact that the Kenyan youth were being recruited for a so-called lucrative job to go and fight alongside foreign forces. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, since so many hon. Members have contributed to this Motion, I only wanted to voice my concern that it happens; so that many Kenyans from the Northern Frontier District (NFD) go to join refugee camps not because of their wish or they would want to disown their own country, but because they think that life in the refugee camps is better than whatever life they are being accorded by the Kenyan Government. As hon. Chachu has stated, this is a shame. If refugees who have run away from their country because of turmoil and turbulence are ... view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with those few remarks, I wish to support the Motion. view
• 7 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister should come out clearly. It is not about the determination of prices but the purchase of maize from farmers by the Government. Yesterday, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government announced here that La Nina is about to set in and they have put in place plans to ensure that the bumper harvest that the farmers experienced will not go to waste. He also said that they will ensure that they increase the Strategic Grain Reserve from what we have currently, because we have not reached the maximum of eight ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while thanking the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government, I wish to remind him that Kenyans will not gauge the speech they are giving about the looming La Nina but how the Government is able to handle and deliver Kenyans in the supposedly looming La Nina . Apart from that, the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Local Government said that there was an alarm after the bumper harvest of maize. La Nina means low rainfall or no rainfall at all and this would put this country and food production under the mercy of irrigation ... view
• 6 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, secondly and lastly, if there is no rainfall or if there is little rainfall that means people from northern Kenya and semi-arid areas will have to suffer a lot in terms of provision of water. There have been complaints in this House that the provision of water holes and dams has not been done in a balanced manner. That is, putting areas, for example Tana River and northern Kenya in a very big problem when it comes to La Nina effects. What is he doing as the supervisor of Government to ensure that funds in the Ministry ... view
