• 22 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: So, I believe for purposes of showing Kenyans that we are mature in what we are doing, we should also act within the rules that we have set. Thank you, hon. Speaker. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this opportunity to also address this issue which is actually a cancer in our country now. It is a fact and everybody knows that we are a country under siege. This has been confirmed by what happened the other day at the Westgate Mall in Westlands. I do not know what we have been doing all these years because the security situation is deteriorating day by day. You could go to any place in this country safely and return home when we were growing up but you cannot do that now. ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: It is not only the Samburu who are crying, we have even seen the suffering of innocent people in Nairobi. Children are raped and killed. Cartels are all over the place even muzzling business activities. I believe that this cancer will spread very fast and we might not be able to contain it if we do not do something now. Whereas these problems exist, we must also take responsibility as leaders. This is because if you look at cattle rustling, you will find that it is communities fighting each other. They are fighting for scarce resources. You will see some ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On unemployment, let us not bury our heads in the sand. The economy of this country has gone to the doldrums. Our children are not employed. What do they do? They amass themselves and drink and engage in drug abuse. What follows after that? It is lawlessness. So, this does not just affect the towns, but it also affects the countryside and everywhere. So, we must come together as leaders and ask ourselves, where did we go wrong? How do we reverse these ugly incidents that are affecting our country? After what happened at the Westgate Mall, I believe that ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Let us think about what the future holds for us. What should we do for our country? I believe that we have these problems more than anything else because if I am the one in power today, I make sure that it is only my tribesmen who get everything; that is job opportunities. How do we get out of that? It is an assumption that I can only get something if I fight for it. Somebody will say that, that person is not a Kenyan but an enemy. That is somebody who has to fight in order to survive. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: In conclusion so that other Members can get an opportunity to contribute, we must also look at the security forces. You cannot tell the security forces to go out there, sacrifice as it has been said by hon. Lati, they are killed and yet you do not look into their welfare. The other important thing is that we should look after our security personnel. We must also make sure that they are properly housed. I was surprised to learn that there is no compensation for the Kenya forces. If a policeman is killed, his family suffers a lot. I believe ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I believe that this is something that should be looked into. I also believe that this is something that should have made this House full today. I believe that this is something that should have made the Majority Leader to be here. This is not a Government issue neither is it a party sponsored issue. This is a Kenyan issue and it affects all of us. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: If you fear to talk about it just because you will be seen to be anti-Government, then you do not even love that Government but you hate it. The Constitution says that the right to property and the right to life is paramount and must be protected. It is the duty of the Government to enforce that. I have noticed that we always come together when our welfare is being threatened or when we are in a situation where we feel that we are The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of ... view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: disadvantaged. It is time we came together and said that this is our country and we must reclaim and fight for it. view
• 10 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I thank hon. Lentoimaga for bringing this Motion and I support it fully. view
