• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There is one very legitimate question asked by Eng. Maina but I think the Prime Minister has not addressed it quite adequately. For a Constitution to govern people, it must be legitimately owned. I think for any legitimacy, it borders more on acceptance. One thing that we must have skipped in the review, and I have acquainted myself with the review process, is that Eng. Maina asked what will happen if almost half of the voters say “No” to a Constitution and it is passed with a majority of 50 plus one vote? Mr. ... view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. In the Assistant Minister’s response, he said that the new institutes and new TTCs will be done and the sites he has identified are the ones where you have existing institutions; the Farmers Training Institute, and the Agricultural Institute in Kitui. What becomes of that institutions or it is the Government involved in a zero- sum game where you have one plus one minus one? view

• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the Assistant Minister’s reply with regard to the distribution of types of rifles, in all the pastoral districts where the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) have been established, it is only in Tana River District where all the KPRs have the Mark IV type of rifles. All the other districts have the automatic rifles, that is, the G3 and the AK-47. Could the Assistant Minister give an undertaking in this House when the KPRs in Tana River will be given the automatic rifles just like in the case of the KPRs in other districts? view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while the Assistant Minister’s response to my question as to why there is discriminate issuance of types of rifles in Tana River compared with the rest of the country is not convincing, I would like to say that the crime rate in Tana River has gone down since 2008, that is, with the advent of the Tenth Parliament. That is the time I came to Parliament. When pastoralists purchase guns, the initial intention usually is not to harm others, but to protect themselves because the Government has failed in its basic provision of security to these ... view

• 6 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It has become a normal clause under which the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, always to hide under the fact that an inquest file has been opened. In March, 2008, two people were shot at by police in the Chardende area of Bura Constituency. Since then, despite several letters to the Ministry, they have always been claiming that an inquest file has been opened. So could the Assistant Minister tell us what is the benefit of opening inquest files which are never closed, which are never concluded and what is ... view
