• 1 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. The other point where an hon. Member contributed on Section 29 is about the dissolution of the council. I concur with him that there is no need to dissolve the council. That power should not vest with the Cabinet Secretary. If there is an officer or an institution, council or an institute which conducts itself in a manner not becoming, there are other procedures to hold them to account. We have the Kenya Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) and the Efficiency Monitoring Unit (EMU). All those agencies can take care of any misconduct on ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Yes, hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to thank the Chairman of the Committee for his attempt to respond. I also take cognizance of the fact that, of course, he is not the person directly responsible for this portfolio. It is just that the rules require him to come and present matters as given to him. In the first instance, I want to thank the President because he personally got involved in this matter while the operatives he had put in office who were responsible for this never took any initiative. We had to make a direct appeal. For that, we ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, my clarification is that the Chairman is not responding properly to the issues which are raised. There is a disaster and yet, the respondent is saying that there is no need for a declaration. I am saying that this is very serious. He must move with speed and make sure that, that declaration is made. There has been data which has been collected. I want to know whether sufficient data has been gathered on the intensity and extensity of that conflict and he says “yes”. I am saying that, that data has no integrity and it must ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is the same old story. It falls completely short of what we intend to achieve in this matter. As I had said earlier, the Kaparo-Haji Committee needs to be facilitated more. In fact, we agreed during the inter-county discussions that, that money be given to a lead agency like the Red-Cross--- view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: But I need to acknowledge whether it is sufficient. If it is not sufficient, it is my duty to bring this to the attention of the Chair so that she can make the necessary orders. That is my intention. The Chairman, through the Government response said that there is what we call rangeland grazing modalities. We are saying that the new Constitution says that land is free. We have lost that position where communities acknowledge that rangeland is managed by communities. That is why I sought that, that mechanism be put in place to address this matter. Nothing has been ... view
• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to draw your attention to this. What I am trying to say is that, the data given here in terms of food ration, if you look at this document, it shows Moyale, which is the epicenter of the conflict, gets the same rations with those who are far placed. They are not party to this conflict. That shows you that there is no integrity in this process. Hon. Deputy Speaker, therefore, could you make the necessary orders? I request - and I am not ordering you to do that – to declare that this reponse ... view

• 23 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Secondly, there is the Kaparo-Haji Committee which is not gazetted and its terms are not very clear. It is a kind of trial and error. They have confided in us that they cannot go beyond where they have reached. So, it is not correct to rely on them to bring peace and try to resettle or rehabilitate people who are affected. To that extent, I think reliance on the Kaparo-Haji Committee only as a means to solving this problem is absolutely inadequate and we need to address it. view
