• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Honestly, I waited for somebody to raise a question, but nobody raised it. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. As to the question raised by my friend, Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale, I am not aware whether this murder has any political connections. Neither am I aware of this person who threatened the deceased a day before his death. If it is true that there was such a threat, then the witnesses should have reported the matter so that the police may investigate the circumstances surrounding the death of this prominent lawyer. As to the question raised by Sen. Okong’o, we all know that there are a lot of small arms which have come into this ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not know whether I should start with you. However, because of seniority, I will start with your question. Mr. Speaker, Sir, these criminals are also very clever and crafty people. They will tend to hide even if it is hiding in a hole, like Saddam Hussein. I am sure one of these days the police will catch up with them. As for the question raised by my sister, Sen. (Dr.) Zani, I think it was not casual at all. I do not know whether you were expecting for me to cry ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is not right for the Senator to say that the Government is not serious. The Government is serious. The current Inspector-General of Police was the head of the unit that the Speaker has talked about. Now that he is the Inspector-General of Police, we hope that he will combine his position as well as his knowledge as officer in charge of small arms. Hopefully, we will see some improvement in the situation as soon as possible. I have two more statements to make. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have summoned the Cabinet Secretary. He will appear before my committee tomorrow. I will use that opportunity to address the issues. CLOSURE OF THE KENYA-SOMALIA BORDER The other statement was requested on 23rd October, 2013, by Sen. Abdirahman regarding the closure of the Kenya-Somalia border. The hon. Senator sought to know one, whether the Kenya-Somalia border is closed. If so, an explanation as to why it was closed. Two, state why stuff like sugar and electronic goods are smuggled through the border in connivance with the representatives of the national Government and the Kenya Revenue Authority ... view

• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the consultations are very high. view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Cabinet Secretary admitted that sugar and electronic goods are finding their way into the country. I find it difficult not to agree to the fact that we, as a country, are losing a lot of revenue because of the panya routes being used by smugglers. There are porous borders and that is true. We have no roads there. There is only one major road. I think the Government should consider reviewing whether it is necessary to continue closing the border. This, I will communicate. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with regard to insecurity as raised by Sen, Billow, ... view
• 31 Oct 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I stand to say that Sen. (Dr.) Machage is totally wrong. If he has any information to the effect that the KDF officers are bringing arms into the country, he should go and report it to the police so that they can be investigated and action taken. This has nothing to do with the looting of water at the Westgate Mall. view
