• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Could the Minister explain the circumstances surrounding the explosion at Hidaya Mosque in Eastleigh Estate, Nairobi on 7th December, 2012 in which several people died and others injured, including the Kamukunji Member of Parliament? (b) How many suspect(s) have been arrested in connection with the incident? (c) What measures is the Government taking to contain the rising cases of explosions in Eastleigh area? view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the answer from the Assistant Minister; it obviously speaks to only one issue that the Government is actually relying on Kenyans themselves to come up with strategies to deal with insecurity. Since the hon. Member once asked about the establishment of a police post, how in a crowded area like Eastleigh - unless the Assistant Minister does not know where Easleigh is – could he tell us how a grenade was thrown into a mosque where the hon. Member even had his own security personnel around? This is Eastleigh that is heavily guarded; how ... view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister needs to give Nairobians, especially the people of Eastleigh, some reassurance because there have been over five grenade attacks--- view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am going to the question. Since there have been five grenade attacks in Eastleigh in the last six months, whose investigations have not been completed, could the Assistant Minister assure the people of Eastleigh that the Government has not decided that they are not worth their effort and, therefore, does not take the work of policing Eastleigh seriously, hence, the reason they have not even up to date put up a police post that has been requested for even by the Member of Parliament who is now injured? view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want to thank the Minister for calming a situation that was going to get out of control in Nairobi. Most importantly, I want to ask him to consider, because he is sitting next to the Minister for Education, whether that can be a directive given to all schools that are at such risk especially those owned by churches. There are also some churches which want to revert schools from public to private. view
• 3 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Minister, and kindly request him to say what he has said in a simple language, and not in very complicated legal jargon that he has used. I would like the Minister to just clarify, especially for the voters of Nairobi, that Mr. Gideon Mbuvi and Mr. Waititu can vie for the post of governor and senator, and that the letter that was taken to the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission is not an indication that they cannot vie, but some form of request that they should not vie. That needs ... view

• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As you can see, my Question is very urgent. It pertains to a fellow colleague in this House who was involved in very unfortunate circumstances, who is currently in South Africa. Even broader than that, since then, we have had other grenade attacks in Eastleigh. This is becoming a very critical issue in Nairobi. The grenade attacks do not seem to be ending and the security arms of the Government do not seem to be bothered with containing insecurity that is rising. This is a Question that I would have ... view
• 2 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this Bill brought by hon. Mututho. I will support it on only two very critical issues. The issue of alcoholism comes with an added burden of addiction. Then we do not have rehabilitation centres around the country that to deal with alcohol addiction. Alcoholism needs to be treated as a disease. It is a disease and that is why I am supporting this Bill. In these regulations, under the National Hospital Insurance Fund (NHIF), those who are treated for alcoholism should be considered like any other patient who is covered by ... view
