Col (Rtd) Ali Rasso Dido

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This appears to be a classic case of homicide. That is why, as a Committee, we have been fighting to have the forensic laboratory up and running because if a murder takes place in an inhabited forest, it...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. When I read this Protocol, I thought there would be no debate about whether we would ratify the Treaty establishing the IGAD because we are part of the greater Horn of Africa. We are on the Indian Ocean rim. We...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Speaker directed that we give an interim report to this. It is the property of the House and we want to give a response.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker for indulging me. The Member of Parliament for Kilgoris Constituency, Hon. Julius Sunkuli, requested for a Statement regarding the land clashes in Angata Barikoi. The Member particularly sought to be informed as follows:

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) First week.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I wish to thank Hon. Njeri for this request for a Statement. Last week, we engaged the Cabinet Secretary, Interior and National Security, and today, in passing, the Prime Cabinet Secretary 30th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 70...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. This is a case of clear murder of an elder. I believe that something is already in progress. However, without waiting for the House to resume in May, once I receive the Statement from my colleague, we will...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) We will give a response to the House in the second week after we resume from recess, but we will not wait until then. We will escalate the matter with the authorities immediately.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I will indulge my good colleague from Navakholo, so that we get more information from him. At the same time, they say justice delayed is justice denied. It has taken a while and for that reason, we will give a response to...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Hon. Colleague who has presented this request for a Statement is a lawyer just like you are. The issue borders on a civil case. I do not want to put the cart before the horse, therefore, allow...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I wish to ask the Prime Cabinet Secretary about Kenyans registering themselves at the Kenyan Embassy in Saudi Arabia. Apparently, of all the problems we see emanating from different regions, Saudi Arabia is the worst. How much registration takes...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, she can be on a point of order on something else, not this one, because I am an expert on this one. On what Hon. Makali said, when we reviewed this case by looking at the statement with the DCI, we are...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am also on a point of order. 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES 31

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, the Member of Parliament for Tana River County, Hon. Amina Dika, requested a Statement on the disappearance of Abdullahi Ahmed Mohamed of ID No. 42848612, a resident of Ngumu Village, Tana River County. The Member particularly sought to be informed on: 24th...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. Hon. Makali is an economist, not a security person. From a security point of view, when you report a crime, you are actually the first suspect, and the police will start with you. That is how security is...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Member of Parliament for Nyeri County, Hon. Rahab Mukami, requested a Statement regarding the recent murder of a patient in Kenyatta National Hospital. The Member particularly sought to be informed on: 24th April 2025 NATIONAL ASSEMBLY DEBATES...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I thank Hon. Mukami for raising this statement. When we read through what the police provided, the crime scene resembles that of James Hadley Chase, where a fellow killed a patient in a hospital ward and walked away...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. We mulled over this issue of registration, and it is true that some people can operate with fake number plates or fabricate them. That could be the difficulty with NTSA. However, we will not stop at that. We...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Yes, she is in the House.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. The Cabinet Secretary responded to the Statements sought by Hon. Kakai Bisau and Hon. Hussein Barre of Tarbaj on Tuesday. The responses were comprehensive, and my colleagues were satisfied. I have two other statements which were not responded to, one...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. My colleague has raised something fundamental. Earlier, I said that if criminals can walk into a ward and kill a patient at Kenyatta National Hospital, the top hospital in Kenya, one must ask how safe other patients are....

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. With the benefit of the doubt to the Chairman, these answers come from the Ministry. There is the famous Lake Turkana Wind Power that generates 360 megawatts for the national grid. The reason the community went to Court...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe we are well guided on that matter. As committees, we do not take it for granted that Members ask questions and that the responses brought here are frivolous. We will go the full mile to establish the issues...

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I have heard what Hon. Gitari is seeking. Last week, when Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, appeared before the House, he addressed himself to that issue. Additionally, he appeared before the Committee...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. I believe the Member has made a substantive request. His constituency borders our neighbouring country and is under a serious security threat. Although we will share the Statement with the Ministry, I ask him also to engage the...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA)Immediately after the recess.

Hon. Dido Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker, for indulging me. The Member of Parliament for Marakwet was in the House when the Cabinet Secretary said he needed Ksh2.5 billion to operationalise every administrative unit that has been gazetted. So the onus is on us. If we are...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. I support this Petition by Hon. Kitayama. It is about the rights of minorities. In this country, the Bill of Rights

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. With your facilitation, we were able to provide this House with a very detailed report. Currently, the area that is experiencing a lot of problems is Baringo, while in most of the regions like Turkana, Samburu, Isiolo, and Marsabit,...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am here, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Raso Dido (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Speaker. It was really the thing when Hon. Saney talked very passionately about the Ajuran and the people of the North. Inclusivity is the solution to Kenya's problems. We will marginalise others when we live in exclusivity. I must...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Temporary Speaker, I beg to move the following Motion: THAT, taking into consideration the findings of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Affairs in its Report on the vetting of a nominee for appointment as Principal Secretary, State Department for National Government Coordination,...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. Actually, these Miraa transportation vehicles should not be on Kenyan roads. They should have their special roads. For those of us who use the Nairobi-Isiolo-Marsabit Road, you must give way once you come across Miraa transportation vehicles. They neither...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Immediately after recess, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) That is in order.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am Hon. Tongoyo in another capacity. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank all Members who have contributed to this Motion on the State of Security in the Six Counties of the North Rift: Baringo, Elgeyo Marakwet, Turkana, West...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am here, Hon. Speaker.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Hon. Speaker, listening to that Statement, there is also the element of transport.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am well guided, Hon. Speaker. I want to say something, following the comments by my colleagues. Hon. Speaker, Kenya is bigger than all of us. When we have a platform, we have to use it responsibly. Many of us in this august House have...

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. We will bring a response in two weeks’ time.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) Transport.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) It is about civil aviation.

Hon. Ali Raso (Saku, UDA) I am waiting for the Paper.
