• 11 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to support the petition. There are incidents all over the country and in, particular, there was a very painful incident where two Kenyans were attacked by crocodiles in Gababa in Ijara Constituency. Those two ladies were breast feeding when they went to the river to fetch water. They had no identity cards and, therefore, they could not be compensated with the little money that Kenyans are given when they are attacked by wildlife. I support the petition. I would like to ask the Government to prepare the Bill immediately so that we can save ... view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have personally negotiated for some of the projects contained on the Assistant Minister’s list. view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Yes, I am building my case, Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker. Is the Assistant Minister in order to allude that all these projects were negotiated by the Ministry when I know very well that some of them are projects I personally negotiated with donors? It is through such personal effort that some of the projects have been implemented. Is he, therefore, in order to mislead the House? view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, what the Assistant Minister was asked is specific. He was asked, under the recommendation of Sessional Paper No.1 of 1969, what the Government has done. We are not talking about donors. Donors came because there was a gap. Leaders from that region sat with the donors and did it. I am saying that as a person from a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) I negotiated for some of the projects. It was not the Ministry of Agriculture. So, we are asking the Assistant Minister to inform the House what the Government has done as a result of Sessional ... view

• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister said that there was one incident and I want to tell this House that it was more than one. When we got that information, Mhe Shakila and I took the initiative to go to the ground. We met with the County Commissioner, the District Commissioners (DCs), Provincial Police Officer (PPO), and Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPDs) of Lamu County. We held many meetings and it is true that the Police Reservists used excessive power to abuse the people of Lamu County. I am asking the Assistant Minister what he is going to do, so ... view
• 10 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you have heard the Assistant Minister say that 7003 Kenya Police Reservists are working on voluntary basis. They do not have any resources allocated to them from the Government and these are people who can be hired by anybody any time. They are provided with guns by our Government. Could the Assistant Minister confirm that these people have been hired by people and that has created conflict in this country? That is why we are having all these problems of insecurity in this country because there is no proper way of monitoring them and giving them incentives. ... view
