Dido Ali Raso

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I second.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs is sitting tomorrow at 10.00 a.m. I would like Hon. Parashina to appear before the Committee because it is about the interest of the people which cannot wait until February 2025. For that reason, on...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I really want to thank the President for the sub-county of Ileret that belongs to the people of the Daasanach. They are among the minority tribes of this country. They live on the border of Kenya and Ethiopia, along the shores of River Omo and...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Let me thank the President for his bold and focused speech. This is not the first Government. This is the fifth administration of the Republic of Kenya and within two years, Kenyans are saying the election promises have...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We have heard the ping-pong between the two Hon. Members. If somebody dies in a foreign jurisdiction, that does not fall within the realm of Kenyan courts. What the Ministry of Foreign and Diaspora Affairs is advising is...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker. The issue that has been presented to you is not a stand-alone issue. Teachers work for very many years, maybe 40 or 45 years, and sometimes stretching up to 50 years. But when it comes to pension, they actually slack. They...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Indeed, there is accidental discharge which happens in any firearm, from a pistol to a machine gun. If you look at the movement of that particular weapon, you will note that the trigger can easily pull the round forward...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Listening to the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Social Protection, I think she is very clear. She has laid the message bare. I must also thank the questioner there. What the questioner has been saying is that she...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) On a point of order, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I rise to eulogise two great Kenyans. I served with Hon. Suleiman Murunga in the 11th Parliament. He is somebody who brought simplicity and finesse leadership. Wherever I saw him around, I always thought Hon. Murunga was a...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I really thank Hon. Omboko Milemba and Hon. Wamboka for bringing these two eulogies or messages of condolences to the House. We may not give much, but sounding it from the Floor of the House of the National Assembly, it...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This morning, we had an extensive discussion with the Inspector-General of Police and commanders of the National Police Service. The major reason of our discussion, to the extent that we went into camera, was to address the rising...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I join my colleagues in congratulating Hulder. In fact, last year in October 2023, we visited the Minnesota State Parliament and she was among those who contacted us. Actually, for the first time, we were able to see...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Deputy Leader of the Majority Party has stood in his place to cast aspersions on the success of a lady in far waters. Is he in order to say that the State legislature is just like a county assembly? That is...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. From the Statement given by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, it is clear that abduction of citizens by authorities linked to the Government is not within the policy of the Kenyan Government. This is because...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I wish to respond to a request for Statement regarding abduction of persons in Garissa Township. The Member of Parliament for Garissa Township Constituency, Hon. Barrow Dekow, requested a Statement regarding the abduction of four persons from Garissa...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I represent the pastoralists in this Parliament; and over 90 Members of Parliament who come from the Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASALs) . There is a lot of money in the Ministry of Agriculture and Livestock Development in...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the matter raised by Hon. Sunkuli is a national security concern. Going further, it is within the realm of NGOs. Most likely, they might have been allowed to operate in Kenya by the NGOs Coordinating Board....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) We will respond in two weeks, Hon. Deputy Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I rise to respond to a request for statement that was raised yesterday by Hon. Chonga. There is enough evidence that the County Commissioner and the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) are aware about what the Hon. Member raised about...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. This is fundamental. It is about human rights, the protection of lives, and the sanctity of life, which is enshrined in our constitution. But I think I will need two weeks after the recess to respond. Thank you.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I think this is a hot issue in the country. Youngsters do not have anything. They live with their parents. They are told that to get an identification card, they must pay for it. I think it is something that we have not yet reached...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Actually, Hon. Deputy Speaker, the fees were gazetted. It was a means of raising revenue for the State Department. However, there were no concerted discussions with the Committee of Parliament. Whereas it is out in the public domain, we need to review that position because...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes, Hon. Speaker. The task that you gave me yesterday was that the County Commissioner and the Deputy County Commissioner (DCC) should, this morning, sit and deliberate on the matter of removal of that family from their land. What they have also confirmed to me...
