• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very grave matter that has been raised by our colleague, Sen. Cherargei. It is really unfortunate what happened to our colleagues, Sen. Malalah and hon. Gikaria. They had a terrible weekend courtesy of police officers who do not appear to be living in the century that we are living in. It is really unfortunate that as a House, despite the fact that we have been confronted with this issue a couple of times, we have never been able to rise to the occasion and find a proper solution. There is no better way other ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not out of child‘s play that people were arrested and before you know it, they were released. That tells you that somebody sits down; watches as this is happening; monitors the reactions and then gives instructions on when to arrest and when to release. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this matter will not be complete if we only discuss and talk about it this afternoon yet you do not give proper direction on how a specific committee of this House will guide the whole House on how to unravel this particular issue. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: This Constitution provided for the Independent Police Oversight Authority (IPOA). However, we have continued to deny that oversight institution the budget to execute their work and the goodwill and support that we can give them as both Houses of Parliament to ensure that they keep these rogue officers in check and ensure that they are brought to book each and every time they violate the rights of not only leaders but even ordinary Kenyans. That is not the kind of police force that we envisioned when we passed the 2010 Constitution. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I hope you are aware that in difficult times like this, the Houses of Parliament have always risen to the occasion and stood firm on matters of the police biting more than they are allowed to by the law. You will remember that a few years back when we were debating the Elections (amendment) Laws and police officers were sent to cordon off the House of Parliament. The Speaker then made a firm ruling that we suspend the sittings of Parliament until such a time as those who had sent them, asked the police officers to ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, kindly give me a minute to conclude. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if we allow this to happen to leaders, you can imagine what will happen to wananchi who do not have a voice. If a police officer can manhandle the Deputy Minority Leader of the Senate, what will happen to the ordinary villager in Vihiga County? You must give proper direction that those responsible be summoned, brought before this House and a policy framework be given on how suspects will be treated. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I want to join the rest of my colleagues who have spoken to the very important issue that is before us this afternoon. This Petition has been brought to us by concerned citizens. These citizens should be commended for a very gallant move of reminding this House that as leaders drawn from all corners of this Republic, if we do not sort out many of the issues that are being canvassed in this Petition that are contained in the Committee on Truth, Justice and Reconciliation Committee (TJRC) Report, then we are walking down a very ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: how difficult it was in the last election cycle, where we even went ahead and had a President that had been sworn in legally and another one that had been sworn in, in some sort of a private function. Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very important issue that should not be treated casually. I look forward in exactly two months to debating the TJRC Report in the precincts of the Senate. view
