• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. More than a month ago, I asked the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations about an issue concerning one of my constituents called Mr. Mukanda who was working with Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and was involved in a road accident. I have tried to inquire about his case and the Chair informs me that up to today the Office of the Clerk has not sent the petition. When you look at the tracking system, today is 40 days past the period I requested for this Statement and ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I had said that we would respond to this one week after. Our Statement is ready only that we have not been listed on the Statements’ list. We will ask our clerk to ensure that it is listed on the Order Paper so that we can respond. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Bill, The Kenya Heroes Bill, National Assembly Bill No.30 of 2013. This is a very important Bill in that we will be able to identify our heroes and have a structured way of recognizing and rewarding them. We know that this country is full of heroes but to the extreme end, we also have cowards who have been a disgrace to the society. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I was in my constituency over the weekend. Twelve girls dropped out of Cherubai Primary School in Chepchoina because of pregnancy related issues. The majority of these pregnancies were caused by security officers who are stationed at Chepchoina GSU Camp. This is the case, yet those officers are supposed to provide security to those innocent children. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, it saddens me that those officers have abdicated their responsibility. Instead of guarding and providing security to wananchi they have started cheating school girls from Cherubai Primary School and in all the neighbouring schools. We now have a very high dropout rate of students in those areas. Those officers lure those girls with sweets, biscuits, lime juice and other petty luxuries. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This is a grave concern to me as a Member of Parliament of that area and to residents. I want to thank my neighbouring Members of Parliament, hon. Wafula and hon. Ferdinand Wanyonyi, who supported me on this issue. We have realized that, that problem is not just limited to Endebess, but is also found in other areas. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: One of the main reasons for this is that the GSU camps within those areas are not fenced off. This is an issue that I have raised with the Cabinet Secretary, Mr. ole Lenku. I have raised it for the last three months, but nothing has been done. I hope that the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Kimaiyo, is listening to this because it is a very serious issue. We think that the security people have a responsibility not only to provide security, but also to have high standards of moral integrity, so that they can also be considered as heroes ... view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, just as the Leader of the Opposition, hon. Raila Odinga said, lizards will always struggle to climb trees so that they can be seen. I think you can just allow the men to sit the way they want so that we can also see them. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for protecting me. I think this is a pertinent issue. When we identify issues, there are people we look at and think they are heroes in our society. We want to look at the security men as heroes who protect this country. We are glad when we look at the work that has been done by the Kenya Defence Forces in protecting our country, especially in the northern area, and fighting aggression by the Al Shabaab . They are our heroes. Our children feel secure that the KDF has protected this country from aggressors, ... view
