• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think Members of Parliament would like to have ragtag soldiers. We want to have soldiers who can read and learn military science, and also be able to fight. If I knew you were going to ask that question, I would have tabled a letter here to show how the military of Kenya is being praised all over the world. view
• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that recruitment is not based on constituencies, but rather on districts. If one constituency cannot provide one student, other constituencies can providehim. Therefore, the question is answered. view

• 14 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot promise that we are going to recruit from those areas, but the point has been taken. We shall look into it. view

• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, the Minister of State for Defence is aware that one 101461 ex-Service Warrant Officer II, Evans Maisiba Bitange, was dismissed from the service after serving for a period of over 28 years on 30th October 2009 but not on 20th November 2009 as alleged by the hon. Member. This was after he was caught with stolen assorted aviation equipment. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: (b)The Minister is also aware that one Force No. 101461 ex-service warrant officer II, Mr. Evans Maisiba Bitange, has not been compensated since he was dismissed from the service. Personnel who are dismissed from the service are not legible for payment of retirement benefits according to the Armed Forces Act, 1968. (c)The Ministry of State for Defence cannot consider reinstating ex-warrant officer II, Mr. Evans Maisiba Bitange immediately or in future because he was dismissed for gross misconduct and, therefore, the dismissed warrant officer cannot also be compensated because of the gravity of the offence which led to his dismissal ... view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate but according to our records, this ex- service man was enlisted on 24th December, 1980 and on completion of his basic training, he was posed to the Kenya Air Force where he progressively underwent an aircrafts technician course. However, in view of the seriousness of the offence that he committed, it is very difficult to trust this officer anymore in the Army because he is likely to cause even more serious offence. view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I find it very difficult to answer the questioner. Once he was my deputy and another time he was my Permanent Secretary but all the same as I said, it is very unfortunate. We cannot change the rules and the law of the country simply because of one officer. I sympathize but I think it is very unfortunate that there is nothing that I can do about it. view
