• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to reply. I thank all the Members for the overwhelming support they have given to this Agreement in terms of the provisions that are contained herein. That means that they really care about the security of this nation. They want our forces to advance, exchange information and do capacity building with our partners, South Africa. I want to echo the sentiments of Hon. Mbarire that we will also learn from our forces on what they are better off than South African forces. Just like I said when I seconded this Motion, it is important ... view
• 7 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It is also important to mention one aspect. We know soldiers from South Africa may come here. In our laws, we provide for capital punishment while in South Africa they do not provide for that. In this agreement, we have two ways of dealing with those who are found culpable and are residents or soldiers of South Africa. We try them here but do not go the route of capital punishment. If we would find it difficult, then we have agreed that we shall repatriate those back to their country to be tried under their law. But it is agreed ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to second this Motion. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: In seconding, I want to associate myself with all the points that have been brought forth by my Chairman who has just moved the Motion. I also want to share with the House the fact that this is among several other agreements that have happened between Kenya and other countries forming bilateral and multilateral agreements which have been beneficial to our nation in terms of security. As it is very well known in this country, we had a problem of dealing with piracy in our Indian Ocean waters, a problem that has always been detrimental to our economy and some ... view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: It is also important to note that in compliance with the Constitution of Kenya specifically on public participation together with the Treaty Making Ratification Act of 2012, this Agreement was subjected to public participation by way of invitation of memoranda through local dailies. After the requisite time, it took almost a month - it was beyond 14 days- we did not receive any memoranda in terms of either going against one of the 15 Articles that form this Agreement. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: So, as the Mover said, there are areas that are critical especially in capacity building. Our forces are good. We are not entering into an agreement because we think they are weak. They are very strong. This Agreement is to enhance that capacity, to share information and deal with the sophisticated nature of crime that has been witnessed in the world of late. view
• 6 Nov 2019 in National Assembly: In compliance with the law and the requirements of the Constitution, this Agreement has not been effected. It has been signed but it has been up and down because it was approved by the Cabinet sometime in October 2016 but South Africa found out that it was not complying with its internal mechanisms and so they took it to allow compliance with the internal mechanisms in South Africa. In February 2019, they signed it and we also signed it. Up to now, it has not come into force, the reason being that it cannot until it is ratified by this ... view
