• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, first of all, I want to thank you for being very kind to me because I have not been very attentive. I undertake again to report this matter to my colleague, the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, and possibility request him to issue the Statement on 27th. view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. I have personally worked with Mr. David Kimaiyo both as a Provincial Commissioner (PC) and later as an Assistant Minister and then as a Minister in the Cabinet in the Office of the President and lately as Minister for Defence and Acting Minister for Internal Security. I would like to thank the Police Service Authority which had identified the qualities that we know of hon. Kimaiyo and by extension also thank His Excellency the President and the Prime Minister for concurring with the recommendation of the Police Authority. I also want ... view
• 20 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kimaiyo has many qualities which is very rare in many people and in the first place, he is a very religious person. Secondly, he is very humble and a quiet person. Thirdly, he is an honest and hardworking officer. During his career, he has dedicated himself to the service of this country and it is something to appreciate that Kenyans now have matured to know qualities of people who have served this country for many years because on many occasions, you will find that there is never a good Kenyan. A Kenyan can do ... view
• 18 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have much to add to all the good things that have been said about our brother, Mr. Gichohi. However, there is one outstanding matter I want to bring to the attention of the House. As we all know, Mr. Gichohi is a very humble and religious man. Among the revolutions that he has brought in this House is that when we came to Parliament 14 years ago, we had only one chapel here. Muslims used to go to the mosque outside the precincts of Parliament. When we approached him, he provided us with a ... view
• 4 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I oppose this amendment on the grounds that all our banks keep shareholders’ money who are either Kenyans or other people, who invest in this country. It would be totally wrong for us to pass the amendment since it will rob people who have invested in shares of the money. We cannot take money and give it to a few people because we are trying to help them. We have helped them already by giving certain incentives; therefore, I think it is quite in order to proceed with the Bill. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I am only enquiring whether the hon. Member is right to say that we are being assisted. There is no country which has assisted Kenya. We have gone to this liberation of Somalia on our own. It is only the African Union with whom we have entered into agreement who are supposed to make the payments. No any other country has helped us. view
• 3 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree. I was merely talking about the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) that were fighting alongside the Transitional Federal Government soldiers who have also gone through a difficult time. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not going to say much, but will only add to what those who have spoken in support of this Motion have said. Most of the Muslim Members of Parliament who have spoken have ashamed those who had the perception that Muslims are opposing this Bill view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: . What the Muslim Members of Parliament were doing, after a lot of consultations among themselves, was to ensure that whatever happens is in conformity with the Constitution of Kenya, and is also in the interests of the majority of Kenyans. As it is known all over, terrorism cuts across all religions. A few months ago in Denmark one person killed about 65 innocent people. Therefore, the perception that Muslims were opposing the Bill is now dispelled. I want to thank my colleagues for joining the Government to pass this Bill. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. I have known most of these people who have been recommended. If they are not the best Kenyans, then I will say that they are excellent Kenyans. I am saying this because the proposed chairman worked with me when I was the Provincial Commissioner (PC), Western Province, and I know how we turned round the education system in that province. It is unfortunate that in Kenya, we have developed an attitude of mob justice. We think there is no good Kenyan at all. Every Kenyan is branded as somebody who is ... view
