• 24 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the 42 million Kenyans deserve praise for the unity they have displayed. Some of them have put their lives at risk by going to the mall to try and help save the hostages. Others donated their blood and money. There are women who prepared meals for our soldiers. All these people deserve to be congratulated. We tell our security forces: “Well done.” They have proven themselves, not only this time, but also on many other occasions. It will be sad if we try to apportion blame against our officers who have worked tirelessly to secure this nation. ... view

• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. Sen. (Prof.) Lesan requested for a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Interior and Co-ordination of National Government regarding the abduction of administration police constables Joseph Maritim and Joseph Wambugu from Damajale area in Garissa on 25th May, 2013 by suspected AlShabaab militia.

• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, a contingent of officers from the Rural Border Patrol Unit, Regular Police, General Service Unit (GSU) and the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) were subsequently dispatched to pursue the militia where the footprints were traced up to the border between Kenya and Somalia and, therefore, KDF took over the search. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, following the incident, the respective family members were informed of the development through the respective District Administration Police Commanders (DAPS).

• 19 Sep 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think that this is not a laughing matter. I really confirm that both Baringo and Kitui counties are marginalized areas. The fact that the former President Moi came from Baringo County is not enough to say that he should have taken all the money from this country to Baringo County. We know that people are being accused in Central Province and other places, because of such behaviour. Former President Moi was a forthright person and never misused the resources of this country to bring up Baringo County over other areas. Similarly, ... view

• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. We only resumed yesterday and this morning only at the last minute is when we got a quorum. I wonder whether there should be a Motion to discuss the issue of quorum in this House. Because it is very shameful that we have only come from a one-month recess and yet, hon. Members are not here. view
• 18 Sep 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion and also congratulate my brother, Prof. Lonyangapuo, for bringing it at the appropriate time. It is very timely in view of the heightened insecurity in the country. Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Senator said during his introduction, homeguards are doing an excellent job due to the fact that they are committed and know the terrain of the areas that they are serving. They are fearless unlike some of our officers who have been brought up in urban areas and hence, find it ... view
