• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mr. Idle Mathey Ali, Personal No.97027645, was appointed Assistant Chief Grade II to serve in Diff Sub-location with effect from 7th May, 1997. He was, however, rejected by the residents on ground that he was not a local resident as he hailed from Abakore area, which is view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: over 250 kilometres away. Therefore, his appointment was rescinded with effect from 1st March, 1999. The post was re-advertised and Mr. Abdikadir Maalim Sirat was appointed Assistant Chief of the Sub-location with effect from 14th October, 2002. (b) The Minister is not in a position to reinstate him since the vacancy has already been filled. (c) Not all Chiefs and Assistant Chiefs serve in their first stations until retirement. In major urban areas like Nairobi and other places, they are transferable. However, in rural areas, they can serve in their first stations until they retire. In this case, Mr. Ali, ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, this particular Assistant Chief was rejected by the people because he was living in an area which was far away from the area where he was supposed to serve. Therefore, his appointment was rescinded. However, if what my friend, hon. Sirat is saying is correct and there is, indeed, a vacancy, I cannot promise in this House that he will be appointed, but he can--- view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not need to answer the hon. Member. You have done it for me. Regarding the Assistant Chief who was sacked, I was going to say that if there is a vacancy somewhere, where he can fit in, let him apply and compete alongside other applicants. He will be considered, if he is found to be still fit 16 years after his appointment was rescinded. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with my brother, hon. Cheruiyot but, unfortunately, as I said, in that particular area, the post has been filled up. However, if there will be another vacancy arising in the area and he applies, he will be considered alongside other applicants, but with a sympathetic eye. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in order for a chief or assistant chief to serve people effectively, he or she must come from that area. I am not aware of the case being raised by the hon. Member of Parliament. I think this issue can be answered in this way: If somebody did not belong to that area before, but he bought land and lives in that area, he has every right - like the people who have been living in that area before he came into that area - to be offered employment like a Kenyan. view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I entirely agree with the hon. Member. I think it is important for the interviewing officers to make sure that the people they are interviewing belong to that area. I do remember that as a District Commissioner (DC), in order for us to know everybody, we used to incorporate in the interviewing panel the prevalent religion in that area. If there are Christians of a certain denomination, we invite one of the bishops or pastor to tell us about the character of the person and, therefore, I think it was a big error that, that ... view
• 5 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, in rural areas, chiefs are not transferrable. In any case, I am not sure that in that particular case, there was a vacancy at that time when this man was being removed from his post. I also said that if what the hon. Member is saying is true, that there is a vacancy in Abakori, I advise that he applies for the post and he will be considered along with others, but with a very sympathetic mind. view
• 4 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: I think I touched this thing by mistake. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware of the increased vandalism of transformers for cooling oil and scrap metal, telkom wires for copper, wood furniture and home appliances for sale as scrap metal. (b) I am aware that the crime has continue to increase due to the high demand of iron for construction in Kenya--- view
