• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, an intended action will be to take the surveyors and show the community where the boundaries are in accordance with the Act of 1992, but it will not help the people represented by the hon. Member. It will only escalate conflicts in the area. This is why I want to appeal to--- view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a Boundaries Review Commission which will go through this exercise much more in detail and solve this problem amicably. That is why I was going for the route of Members of Parliament from Pokot and Turkana districts meeting together, so that we cool down our people. There is already a lot of tension there. Whatever side we determine the border is at this time, is likely to create problems. So, we want to go down and talk to our people. That is the appeal I want to make. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot confirm hearsay. I totally deny that the Provincial Administration is perpetuating boundary disputes. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think a boundaries review Commission has been established. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are in a live transmission and that is why I was appealing to have a meeting with hon. Members because it is not proper for me to take sides and say whether it is the Pokots or Turkanas. So, I deny that there is an expansionist agenda being held by any of those parties.

So, let view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stated that the Provincial Administration, through the peace committees, will arrange for those movements so that there are no permanent settlements. With regard to the problem of the Kapedo boundary which has also been raised by Mr. Ethuro, I leave that matter to the Boundaries Review Commission. view
• 28 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we intend to add more security in that area although we already have 130 security personnel there. So, we will definitely push this matter within the month of August. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the answer should have been here an hour ago. view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. His Excellency the President has appointed these officers due to their competences and wealth of experience in managing public affairs. The mandate of this Ministry includes the promotion of statehood and nationhood, co-ordination and supervision of Government activities in the field, maintenance of security, law and order, mobilization of local resources for development and providing a secure environment for Kenyans to realise speedy socio-economic development. Since Independence, 46 years ago, the organizational structure of the Provincial Administration has remained the same despite the growth in population from 8 million to approximately ... view
• 23 Jul 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, part “a” of the Question is about why Provincial Commissioners are reshuffled, while part “b” of the Question is why senior officers were appointed. Part “c” is whether merit was followed. I have answered this Question in brief. I have said that it is the prerogative of the President to reshuffle Provincial Commissioners and appoint senior officers in the administrative cadre. So, I do not see anything unusual in the President appointing officers within the scheme of service and posting them. This is an executive matter which should not be discussed here. This is because ... view
