• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) whether he is aware that cases of armed robberies, violent attacks, gang activities and muggings have doubled in Kamukunji Constituency in the recent past; (b) what the police are doing to deal with the escalating crime and protect residents of the constituency; and, (c) whether he could consider increasing police posts, police patrols and visibility in the constituency, especially in the most affected areas of Eastleigh, Pumwani and Muthurwa. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Assistant Minister has now suggested that this police post is in Eastleigh Section II. Now, Eastleigh Section III is not the area I was referring to in my Question. I asked him about Eastleigh North which is one of the largest commercial centers in Nairobi and in which half a million people go shopping every day.

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I was wondering whether I would have the opportunity to ever speak on this issue. I would like to join the others in raising my voice in condemning of what had happened. I was hell-shocked to view the pictures of the demolition. The sheer brutality, the sheer inhumanness of it is something I thought had no place in the Kenya of today.

• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I also want to say that although this was seen on television by many people and it shocked many of us, it is something that happens in Nairobi everyday; it happens in the slums of Nairobi among the poor and the marginalized people of Nairobi. The only difference is that this is done in the darkness of the night and it is not seen on television. view
• 15 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: I think it is shocking to live in Kenya today, where we have no consideration for others. We have total contempt for poor people from the poor areas of Nairobi.
