• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. It is now three weeks and four days since I sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security. The Vice- Chair promised to deliver the report in three weeks and I have not heard or seen anything to that effect, neither have I been invited for any session where they were holding discussions. view

• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I rise to request a Statement. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the delays in appointment and deployment of chiefs countrywide. The absence of these officers, especially in areas prone to insecurity, has had an adverse impact in terms of governance and eradication of criminals. In some locations, offices have remained vacant for more than four years despite advertisement having been done and interviews conducted. Hon. Speaker, in his Statement the Chairperson should inquire and report on the ... view
• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Despite being a member of that Committee, I think I have been frequenting the Office of the President, where these positions exist, but I have not got any answer. Three weeks for me is too long a time. Maybe two weeks will do. Thank you. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also want to take this opportunity to thank hon. Wanyonyi for actually clarifying the mandate and the responsibility of KPR. There was a lot of perception from a section of the hon. Members that we are debating to arm the civilians. The title reads: Kenya Police Reserve (KPR). This is a unit of the police, just like the Anti-stock Theft Unit (ASTU) and the Anti- Terrorist Unit (ATU). So, it should not be perceived that we are arming the civilians. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, cattle rustling or insecurity in ASAL areas has actually ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to support this Motion as floods and destruction have become seasonal issues. Every time there are rains, there is destruction. The proposed Disaster Management Authority should have been formed 50 years ago. Since Independence, disasters have been happening year in, year out. I do not know why this authority was not formed many years ago. Disasters in this country have always been left to foreign relief organizations, which do not have sustainable strategies. It is high time the Government of Kenya took this issue seriously by establishing a Disaster Management Authority to be looking into ... view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, Sir, outbreak of diseases due to floods has also been rampant, and it is something which can be looked into. If the Disaster Management Authority is put in place and devolved to all counties and constituencies, or even to the grassroots level, when a disaster strikes, people will be found ready on the ground to respond to it. view
• 3 Jul 2013 in National Assembly: I beg to support. Thank you. view
• 19 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I rise to support this Motion. Before I make my contribution, I want to thank the hon. Members who denounced the amendment that was proposed because it was killing this Motion. I totally agree that the number of school dropouts, especially girls in ASAL areas is very high. For example, if 100 girls are enrolled in Class One, only less than 20 finish high school. This shows the unconducive learning environment that these pupils go through. One of the reasons is insecurity. In most of the ASAL areas, there is a lot of ... view
• 7 May 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the security situation in this country and more so in northern Kenya and Turkana leaves a lot to be desired. I want to support what my colleague from Turkana North has said. Turkana County borders Uganda, Ethiopia and Sudan. All the tribes that border Turkana County are very hostile to the Turkana. What is worrying most of us is that the Government of Kenya, even after 50 years of Independence, has continued to concentrate security forces in the cities like Nairobi, Nanyuki, Gilgil, and Nakuru. This was actually a colonial strategy to take care of ... view
