• 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
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was never asked that question. Unfortunately, I do not have the answer. If you want the value, you can put a question and we shall answer it. view

• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said, this was a senior officer and unfortunately he set a very bad example. Stealing is stealing whether you steal a pin or a thousand shillings. Therefore, there is nothing I can do about it. I am sorry! view
• 9 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these laws were made way back in 1968. If we were to change any law, we have to change all the laws dealing with stealing. For example, somebody who steals a goat, say in Samburu or even in Ijara, is accused of cattle rustling and sometimes, he is jailed for seven years, but somebody who steals only Kshs10,000 which is more than the value of a goat may also be jailed for only two years. So, it is unfortunate. We have laws and we have to go by them. view
• 14 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. The hon. Member is misleading the Prime Minister. In the first place, Hola is nearly 90 kilometres from the coastal strip. So, when he relates this to the ten mile strip, he is totally out of order. view

• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: On a point of information, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I had a very fruitful discussion with the Minister and I told him that I was going to give him a list of 2,000 people from my constituency who are in refugee camps. I hope that when I do that, something tangible will happen. view
