• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I commend the Mover of this Motion for highlighting the most critical areas where we require Government intervention. I just want to say something very briefly in support of this Motion. Those of us who come from pastoral communities admit that cattle rustling is an old cultural practice that has outlived its usefulness. It has to be discarded in all ways possible. I want to emphasize that the Government should make a deliberate effort through affirmative action to deal with the youths who are actually the people involved in cattle rustling from all ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: will be able to get some income and put it into proper use instead of engaging themselves in cattle rustling. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, my major concern is the way the Government handles or deals with communities affected by cattle rustling. The Government must be seen to be fair and not discriminative when it handles issues of cattle rustling. Just as we have acknowledged that cattle rustling is an old phenomenon, we have had a traditional way of handling cattle rustling amongst the communities. For example, when animals are stolen and they are pursued by the people, once the ... view

• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances did a British Army truck hit and kill a 12 year old girl, Nolkura Lenkare at Nakwamoru near Archers Post on 5th August, 2010? (b) Could the Minister clarify whether the driver responsible was identified and indicate the action taken against him? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I really would like to thank the Assistant Minister for giving that honest answer that it is the British Army vehicle that was involved in the accident. The accident took place at 1.30 p.m. in broad daylight. The driver would have been able to see the difference between people and other things. The fact that the driver did not stop after knocking down the child is an indication that he wanted to conceal the accident. What action is the Assistant Minister going to take against that person? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been many other incidences involving British Army vehicles. Those reckless drivers are either killing or injuring our people without compensation. There are many other incidences where people have been killed or maimed by un-exploded ammunitions without compensation. Could the Assistant Minister consider suspending the operations or any exercises carried out by the British Army until they account for the death of that child? view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for the Assistant Minister to avoid answering the question? I have asked him that given the number of incidences committed by British soldiers, could he consider suspending any operations or exercises being undertaken by the British Army until they account for the death of that child? That is because they are misbehaving! view
• 17 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Vote. First, I would like to start by thanking the Minister and her team for the good performance which has ensured that Kenyans get access to water. I am particularly grateful to the Ministry because last year was really a difficult time because we experienced a very severe drought. For those of us who come from Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL), we really experienced scarcity of water. Dams, boreholes, seasonal rivers, shallow wells ran dry and resulted to schools being closed prematurely. My appreciation ... view
