• 6 May 2009 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) Could the Ministry explain what informed the security operations in Samburu East District in February 2009 and why only members of one community were targeted?

• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is really annoying when an Assistant Minister misleads the House. I seek your indulgence because I do not know how we can even interrogate him when he is giving contrary and different information. For one, one person was killed by the name Loitu Lenayasa. The body was taken to the police but they refused to take it. The community buried it. One person was injured and assisted by the British Army officers who are carrying out an exercise in that area. He has already recorded this case with the Isiolo Police Station. The Assistant Minister ... view

If you look at part “d” of the Question, the Assistant Minister is further asked to state the damage resulting from the operation and the number of livestock confiscated during the operation and the owners thereof. Could the Assistant Minister give us the owners of the animals taken by the Government? That is what I am asking for. You should not tell us about the conflict between the communities! We are talking about animals taken by the Government. This is a Government of murderers and ... view

• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ready to substantiate. I was there and I pleaded with the security officers. It is the Government that carried out the security operation and they used military choppers to round up animals that were grazing. That is actually stealing because they did not have consent from the Samburu. They also killed Loitu Lenayasa and refused to bury him. Is that not murder? Yes, the Government is a murderer! I cannot withdraw! view
• 5 May 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thank the Minister for the elaborate answer he has given the House. From my experience, one of the factors that make vaccination ineffective is the inadequate number of veterinary officers and livestock personnel. What arrangements has the Minister made to deploy enough veterinary officers and livestock personnel to pastoral areas where people depend on livestock for their livelihood? view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security.
