• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday we summoned the Minister and we had very fruitful discussions and the Ministry should give us a Statement soon in view of the fact that the office is overwhelmed with requests for Statements both from here and from the National Assembly. I think it would be fair to give them more time so that they can respond adequately. Even now, I have four Statements to issue. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I think that the Clerks of the Committees should be giving extra copies to the Members, because it is not the Committee which prepares the Statements.

• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Speaker, Sir. On 26th September, 2013, Sen. Billow Kerrow requested for a statement regarding the attack at the District Officer’s (DOs) Headquarters in Mandera Town by a heavily armed militia where one administration police officer was killed and four others were injured. The hon. Senator wanted to be informed on, one; the action that the Government has taken with regard to the incident and in particular whether there are any suspects that have been arrested with regard to the incident and other previous incidences. Two, he wanted to know whether the incident has any linkage to ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. What hon. Billow has said, that there have been two other attacks, is quite unfortunate. However, with the increase in the number of police officers and the 7,000 police officers who are undergoing training, once the training is over, there will be nothing to stop us from posting them there. With regard to the issue of homeguards, I know that many of these have been trained, not only in Mandera but also in Wajir and Garissa. However, up to now, they have not been armed. I will pursue this matter with the Minister and see ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I summoned the Cabinet Secretary on Tuesday and we agreed as a Committee – I do not want to accuse anybody – but both Members did not turn up to enable us to interrogate him. He was there and we did our best to interrogate him and he assured us that he would try his best to put this matter to rest. Anyway, the question of insecurity in this country is a social problem. It is a very serious problem. It is not only for one or two areas of this country but the whole country. It ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to the code of regulations, retired people should not be employed when there are young able people who can be employed.

• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what I normally do in my Committee is to serve the whole HANSARD to the Cabinet Secretary so that he can go through and be able to react accordingly. So, the question of employing retired people from Nyeri to be deployed to Garissa, I think it is up to him to look into it. INSECURITY AT MALALANI IN KITUI COUNTY On 8th October, 2013, a Statement on Insecurity at Malalani in Kitui Constituency was issued in this House. However, it was directed that a more comprehensive report on the measures that had been put in place to ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the question raised by Sen. Musila, requiring to know the number of people who have been killed in two years and the action that was taken, I would like to be given, at least, two weeks. I would like him to be patient in spite of waiting for this long enough. I will make sure that in the next two weeks, I will try my best so that we get an answer. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from ... view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was coming to that. Regarding the homeguards, as I answered Sen. Billow, I am aware that for the last one year, some homeguards were trained in some parts of northern Kenya. But up to now, they have not been armed. In spite of that, I will send a copy of the HANSARD to the Cabinet Secretary to find out the reaction of the Government as to why they have not been armed. view
• 5 Nov 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, regarding the question raised by Sen. Karaba, I will also communicate. From my own experience, when I was a District Commissioner in Kiambu, there was a wave of crime in Tigoni. My Provincial Commissioner was none other than Sen. Musila. I met all the residents of Tigoni and discussed the security issue with them. We agreed with them that some of them were to provide a vehicle for a week. Up to date, I think that insecurity has been curbed in that area. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, similarly, I will pass this question of agents to ... view
