• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute to the President’s Speech. Personally, I see a President of the Republic who is determined, willing, ready and who has the energy to take Kenyans where he wants them to go, but has lacked the capacity and goodwill of the people around him. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I say so because we have heard several times the President complaining about cartels within the Government that are not ready to let go. As such, we should only be thinking of what we can then do as a country to ensure that the President and the Deputy President move this country forward. I agree that their failures are very important to us as the Opposition but again when you come to a point where Kenyans can go without food and are not secure within their territorial boundaries, then something needs to be done. The electronic ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the runaway insecurity in this country is not about more vehicles or lack of personnel. I believe our security personnel are capable of handling crimes within our borders. The problem is lack of clear command structures. We have a system where in the morning a County Commissioner gives orders that are contradicted by the County Commandant. Then the Inspector-General (IG) comes in and then the Cabinet Secretary makes another statement and everybody thinks what they say is right. We are confusing the personnel that are ready to handle crime in this country. We are in a ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have misplaced priorities in this country and this House must help to bring order. When you wake up in the morning, you see a woman carrying a child on her back and luggage on her head trying to move and make ends meet with sincerity and honesty, and then we come to a point where in our system we do not give her any support. We want to take more to the upper class and make the lower class suffer more. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I see the President has given opportunities to the youth, that is the 30 per cent and all that but again you see these loans that are given to the youth have certain regulations that are quite discouraging. At the end of the day, these loans end up in the banks where rich men use them for their own benefit. So, they are not beneficial to the youth. We would like to see the Government coming up with mechanisms of ensuring that the conditions attached to these loans are easy and the youth can access them. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we have the system of Nyumba Kumi that is being celebrated. This system cannot work because in Kenya we have a civilian Government but we want to run security through a military system. There is already inherent mistrust between the police and the citizens of the Republic of Kenya. We cannot sort out that overnight, but when you put the citizens to be reporting directly to the police we are bringing problems. These people trust their village elders who in turn trust their chiefs and who in turn trust the District Officer (DO). Nowadays, if a ... view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: I would also like to see the Government owning up and telling the United States of America (USA): “You aided us when we were going to Somalia to chase away terrorists, they are now in Kenya, assist us.” The international communities must also come and assist us. Terrorism is an international thing and we cannot leave Kenya to deal with it solely because we would have protected our borders instead of chasing them away. view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, going to Migingo, I believe Museveni is a friend of our President. Ugandans steal fish from us daily. I do not know whether there is connivance, but why would we have security agencies from outside coming to interfere with our people? view
• 1 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Finally, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to see a system where these big tenders that we give to the--- The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
