• 6 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as the Minister has rightly said, I accompanied him to Sudan. I am really saddened that in spite of the fact that he used one-and-a-half hours and all the skills that he has both as a lawyer and as a diplomat to convince President Al Bashir to stand down the threat that he was giving and succeeded, unfortunately, yesterday some activists in Non- Governmental Organizations (NGOs) who want to sustain themselves were attacking him directly, when what he only did as a Minister was to fight for the interest of Kenya, otherwise Kenya would have suffered.

• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, last week, hon. Mungatana raised a concern about the statement made by the President of Somalia on the operation that is going on inside Somalia territory, and whether our troops will be fought both by the Transitional Federal Government (TFG) and the Al Shabaab . The Al Shabaab, obviously, will be fighting back because we are fighting with them, but it will not happen that the TFG will fight the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF), because we are together in this war and our job was to assist them in the front; we are assisting them. So, ... view
• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that yesterday, the hon. Prime Minister of Somalia, led a high-powered delegation came to Nairobi and both our Prime Minister and myself met them. We had a very fruitful discussion.

• 1 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is what is being reported in the Press. We have not received any official communication to the effect that Sheikh Shariff was against the engagement of our troops in Somalia. This can be attested by the fact that he sent his Prime Minister and a number of Ministers to come and confirm that they are with us in this war. view

• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (c) The ranger instructors and, indeed, all military training institutions have, nevertheless, been sensitized on the need to uphold safety in training, as has been our tradition all the time. In addition, the ranger instructors have also been instructed to endeavour to monitor the ocean tide before such training sessions to ensure the trainees’ safety, even though the tide, at times, is known to be erratic. view
• 17 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the number of officers who were in that exercise was more than the two who died. The instructors are always instructed to be around to assist anyone who would run into problems. But you will appreciate that the number was big and it was too late when it was discovered that the two officers had ran into a problem. view
