• 2 May 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had requested a Ministerial Statement on the insecurity in our city some few weeks ago. The Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security had said that he would respond to it today. I think it is an urgent matter given what has happened in our city in the last week or so. Therefore, I just wanted to emphasize the urgency and the importance of the matter. view

• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not have the advantage that some of my colleagues have because I am in Nairobi and my constituency is just some few metres away. So, I am constantly in touch with my constituency. However, in the recent past, we have been visited by many problems in Kamukunji, the latest being the devastating grenade attack where we suffered losses in terms of human beings. Nine people died and more than 50 were injured. I have just come back from there, where the community had a fundraising drive to help the families that have been affected. ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, once again, I want to urge the Assistant Minister not to play politics with the lives of the people of Kamukunji and Nairobi. It is in the HANSARD that he had pledged that there would be a police post. We have daily attacks. Even last night when we adjourned, one person was injured seriously in Eastleigh. There are attacks in Gikomba and Muthurwa. Therefore, all I am urging is for the Ministry to do its job and provide protection. I know that the police officers want to do their job, but they are handicapped. I sometimes ... view
• 15 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I also wanted to sort of raise another issue which the Assistant Minister touched on yesterday.
