• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I wish to say that if you read Article 35 of the Constitution, it is so clear. It provides that every citizen of this country has a right to access any information. I do not think this is so much of an issue about what is before us now. Article 132 (c) (ii) and (iii) says:- “The President shall— (c) once every year— The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: (ii) publish in the Gazette the details of the measures and progress under sub paragraph (i); and (iii) submit a report for debate to the National Assembly on the progress made in fulfilling international obligations of the Republic.” Hon. Speaker, the Report before us is submitted under Article (132) (c) (iii) of the Constitution. The issue of publicising that document under Article 132 (c) (ii) does not give a time limit. The law does not expressly say that the President shall table that Report after gazetting it. As you give your ruling, hon. Speaker, I want you to be guided ... view
• 31 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: before tabling it in the House. I want to go to Article 252 of the Constitution. This responsibility of the President under Article 132 is what he discharged on Thursday. He was to inform the nation through this National Assembly as it is required of him under Article 132 (c) (iii). That is the duty the President discharged on Thursday. I would wish to request my good friend and brother hon. Junet--- If he alleges that a document before this House is not before the House constitutionally, it is for him to prove that. It is for him who alleges ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Motion. As I support, I wish to say that the nominee, Joseph Kipchirchir Bionett, is a person I have known for some time. We worship together at the African Inland Church, Langata. I stand in this House to say that he is a person of integrity. He is a very humble man and a person who listens. The National Police Service needs people like him to provide leadership. It needs people who can listen to others and borrow ideas in addressing the challenges that the NPS is facing. I vote ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in National Assembly: ensures that this country receives equal attention in terms of deployment of police officers. My Committee on Delegated Legislation is currently looking at regulations on deployment, promotion, discipline and other areas touching on police officers. I am happy that, as we look at those regulations, we are going to have a new Inspector-General of Police, who is going to apply them. I appeal to him to do so in a very fair manner. For example, if you look at the presence of police officers in urban areas like Nairobi, Nakuru, Nyeri, Eldoret and Kisumu, they are many. However, if you ... view
• 25 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion:- THAT, aware that cattle rustling is a major menace and insecurity threat in the South and North Rift regions and other regions in the country; noting that cattle rustling leaves behind destruction of property and loss of lives; deeply concerned that the menace has since left irreparable and negative socio-economic impact which include but not limited to increased number of widows, widowers, orphaned children, poverty, displacement of people leading to the emergency of internally displaced persons (IDPs), disruption of education programmes and other economic activities owing to the destruction ... view
• 18 Feb 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I would like to say that the issue of insecurity in our country is really serious. Baringo County, that is both Baringo South and Baringo North constituencies are faced with serious security challenges as has been said by my colleague from Baringo South. I would like to say that the Government has the responsibility to ensure that the safety of the Kenyan people in Baringo County and other parts is guaranteed. The provision for the Kenya National Police Reservists is, perhaps, the best solution that I would propose as a way of managing this ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, for giving me a chance to contribute to this very important Bill. The security of any nation is critical for any country to develop and without adequate security it is not possible to achieve any progress. I stand to support the Bill and in so doing I wish to state that we seem to be putting a lot of emphasis on the threat of terrorism alone. This country is facing various challenges of security. Cattle rustling has been one of the major threats to peace and security in our country. In the pastoral areas where cattle ... view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: is going to benefit every Kenyan. Every Kenyan is entitled to enjoy the freedom that is set under Chapter 4 our Constitution. view
• 11 Dec 2014 in National Assembly: I would like to particularly agree and support the proposed amendments to Section VI of the Public Order Act where it makes it an offence for anybody to destroy somebody’s property or cause any harm to anybody. We have witnessed in this country, especially in Nairobi, when we have public rallies during campaign times or even when we have rallies, we have had situations where shops in towns have been closed. They have been destroyed and people have been killed. When this law is implemented and passed it is going to restrict every Kenyan and put in place a measure ... view
