• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to condemn the killings that have taken place in Central Kenya in Karatina, involving about 44 people. This is a Kenyan problem. It is not a problem of Central Kenya. It is not a problem of Karatina. It is a Kenyan problem. That Kenyan problem is continuing because there is lack of understanding and commitment. People do not believe, trust and cannot depend on the security forces of this country to protect them, no matter where and when. The issue of criminalising groups is not right. The Mungik i has been criminalised. ... view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, in fact, I did not mean a “message”. I meant his physical presence. This is a national issue. His physical presence is important. He is the father of this nation. We do not want him to send the Prime Minister or Prof. Saitoti. We want the father of this nation to go and console with those people. I am sure that he feels so, and I am sure that he will go. view
• 6 May 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you! Eight-four people were killed in Kisumu. To date, we have heard nothing. Live bullets and G-3 rifles were used on the youth, but we hear nothing. We are told: “We are investigating.” There were Rapid Deployment Unit (RDU) personnel sent to Kisumu during the skirmishes. Why were officers from the RDU not sent to Karatina? We want to know why; is this another way conducting extra-judicial killings? I cannot support! I condemn this action with all my heart. Thank you, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 29 Apr 2009 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The Assistant Minister is talking about extra-judicial killings. Is he in order to mislead this House when extra-judicial killings took place in Kisumu and he said nothing about it? Why can he not discuss that as well? Is it in order for him to discuss the killings in Karatina when there were killings in Kisumu and he does not want to talk about it even when we bring it to his attention? view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am very reluctant to support this Motion. As a matter of fact, I was debating whether I was going to oppose it. We were called four weeks ago to attend to matters of national importance. But what we have ended up with is a disaster. We have gone from one disaster to another. We have come across the maize and fuel scandals. I do not know what other scandals are coming. The situation is that politics has taken over. What should have been a committee--- We had elected this committee to come ... view
• 24 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: I think many of us are going to answer to our God about what we have done today and these four weeks. I go a very sad person. I have spent four weeks here. I was to go somewhere for a medical check up but I refused to do so. I missed that medical check up because I felt it was important to be here. view
