• 15 Oct 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me the opportunity. I also rise to comment on the President’s Speech, which I thought was very good. I support the President for the decision he made to go to The Hague. Before I comment on a few things, I would like to correct an impression that was created by one of my colleagues a few minutes ago. He said the reason why the President handed over the presidency for 48 hours was to appease the URP side. That is far from the truth. That is a constitutional requirement that any time ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to join my colleagues in, first of all, congratulating the President for nominating those Kenyans. I think this is the biggest number of ambassadors who have been nominated. I want to say that when you look at the report of this Committee, they have done a very good job. I am not a member of this committee, but I had a chance to watch the vetting when they were interviewing the ambassadors to be. I must say that those are good Kenyans and we must give them the opportunity to serve ... view
• 10 Sep 2014 in National Assembly: There are hon. Members who are playing with us. I wish if you could take serious measures against those hon. Members. With those very few remarks, I support this Motion and I urge my colleagues to support this Motion on those wonderful Kenyans. Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for also giving me this opportunity. From the beginning, I want to support this Motion as amended. I must say that I am a Member of this Committee. I have heard some of my colleagues castigating this Committee. That it is not the business of the Committee on Administration and National Security to procure goods and services for any Ministry. That is true. Indeed, it is not our business and we do not intend to go that way. Let me also remind the House the reason why we are here. We are here because ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: about three decades ago. The criminals in this country have upped their game. The police require new technology to combat the new criminals that are coming to our country. Some of us who come from the security background know the kind of system that they are using right now is no longer being used anywhere in the world. It is only in Kenya and probably in Tanzania - our neighbours. But all over the world, they have embraced new technology. As a Committee, we were also shown the installation of a video surveillance system. We will have a surveillance system ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: So, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I was happy when Safaricom came to our Committee and showed us how that technology has been used by other countries and have reduced crime rates to certain levels. The issue that was interesting to our Committee is why the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of Government used direct procurement. I answered that by saying that there were two issues that were brought to our Committee. The reason why they used direct procurement is because it emerged that the procurement entity which is the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Security arrived at the ... view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The other reason we wanted to know is why Safaricom and not any other telecommunication network go the tender. There were three reasons which we were given. The first reason is its ability to provide for the specification of the system in a timely manner. I must mention to this House that we do not have so many telecommunication companies in this country. Even if we have them, how many have the power and know-how to give that new technology? view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish the hon. Member, who is a very good friend of mine and neighbour in Kisii, would read this report. If he can read this report properly, he will be able to tell us what he is trying to tell me. But I will leave that to him. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: The other issue that I want to bring out is the financial ability and experience. We all know that network coverage in the country – the only network or company that has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: coverage all over the country – is Safaricom. Even if you talk of any other company, the one we have for Celtel or the company he is talking about, none of them has the coverage that Safaricom has. The only company that can procure that kind of network in all our 47 counties is Safaricom. view
