• 7 Aug 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to report that the Committee of the whole House has considered the Statistics (Amendment) Bill (National Assembly Bill No.37of 2019) and approved the same with amendments. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. Hon. Kamuren wants to harass me out of my opportunity to speak. However, he should know that he has no chance to second a Motion for Adjournment. I wish to support the Motion. It is a Motion that touches on the security of Kenyans, particularly those from fragile counties and constituencies of this country that have had incessant cases of insecurity since time immemorial. From the prosecution of the Motion by the Member for Turkana East, I wish to speak to the issue of the recent disarmament of the National Police Reservists. I happened ... view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: amount to insecurity should be reinforced. We should support the NPR and any other security initiatives in those parts. If the justification is the fact that the NPR are suspected to be engaging in criminal acts, we know some police officers who have used their positions to harass and kill Kenyans. We cannot be told that the solution would be to withdraw the police officers. view
• 30 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The wise and just thing to do if a member of NPR is involved in a criminal act, is to deal with them. Unless we are being told that our country lacks the infrastructure to identify that a Government-sanctioned firearm has been used for a particular criminal activity and pin down that particular criminal. Any member of the NPR who engages in criminal activity is not the entire NPR. The solution would not be to expose the parts of the country where NPR services are needed so much by justifying, wrongly so, that the NPRs are involved in criminal activities. ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to speak to this Motion. I commend the Committee for taking up this matter on its own motion as we see from the Report. The Report raises a number of critical issues that caught the eye of the Defence and Foreign Relations Committee. That notwithstanding, it is with many reservations that I speak to the Motion. We are talking about matters of national security which concern all of us. However, such matters must not be addressed in a way that out rightly disenfranchises the very people for whom the ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: One of the things they were supposed to investigate is whether there was a proper environment impact assessment done on the land. I do not know why the Report came back to the House without answering this critical question. What did they find out from the ground? This matter is still questionable. The Report has come back to the House with a question. Then, why bring it to the Floor, instead of taking more time to investigate? Finding out whether an environmental impact assessment was done or not is a simple job. They should have sat together with NEMA and ... view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: If we are talking about national security, the people of Narok have no problem supporting such a project of the national Government of this magnitude, which speaks to the national security. It must not be done at the expense of the people, which the same security is supposed to serve. The other question that has not been addressed, on which one Fred Kariankei, a member of the community, has written a memorandum, is lack of public participation. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: We appreciate that matters of national security are handled in a discreet manner and shrouded with a lot of confidentiality for good reasons. But involving the members of the community cannot be overlooked. This is a constitutional right of the people of a certain locality for any project of this magnitude. For public interest, it should involve serious public participation. International standards require free prior and informed consent for any project that happens within community or private land. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: The Committee does not give us answers to these critical questions. That is why I say that the Report is not fully baked and should not have been brought back to the House in a hurry. I see the Committee has made recommendations that the Ministry of Defence should go back and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 24 Jul 2019 in National Assembly: look into these issues and give answers. I am happy to see Hon. Kenta here because he is the Chair of the Committee on Implementation. The questions that have not been answered by the Departmental Committee on Defence and Foreign Relations should be taken up by the Committee on Implementation. Let the Ministry of Defence come and defend this position. There are very many other pieces of land. If, indeed, they find that an environmental impact assessment was not done, then this project must be stopped until we have a clear indication that the social disenfranchisement of the people of ... view
