• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: how much he will have changed the perception and the reality of Kenyans on the issue of corruption in the National Police Service. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Second and most important, I thank Sen. Sakaja for spending a good amount of time speaking about the issue of extrajudicial killings. As a young person, and more so a leader representing so many young people in this House, the issue of extrajudicial killing continues to pain my heart. It is unfortunate and sad that even this House has never formed a select Committee. I encourage Sen. Sakaja that when he eventually brings a Motion to set up a select committee to look into extrajudicial killings, I am willing to serve together with him. This is because growing up as ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Should we approve Mr. Mutyambai, three or four months down the line, we want to measure him and see how much order and discipline he will have brought to the National Police Service on account of extrajudicial killings. Will he have stopped it and the officers who are found to be culpable face the full effects of the law? view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: I had four other points, but in the interest of time, I just want to talk about three points. I was also concerned about his response on what is a big topical issue right now in the country, that is, the roles of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) versus those of the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC). I do not think that anybody in their right mind can say that the DCI should not take time to investigate corruption cases. Many of us have used this Floor and other avenues to speak against some of the practices that we ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: mandate. That was not the issue. We appreciate and know that the DCI has powers to investigate corruption, but the issue that people have continued to raise is on how he executes his mandate; whether there is a hidden hand behind how he carries out his duties. The challenge that I give Mr. Mutyambai as I conclude is that he should run a police service that is impartial and independent. He should serve the people of this country with great dignity and honour, such that in another four years, when this House reconvenes over another Motion like this, it will ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I support the work that has been done by the Senate Committee on Finance and Budget on this very important issue, because it was beginning to threaten our work, as legislators. This is because, many-a-times, when we went to public functions, one of the questions that I remember being asked was: “What informs some of these decisions that you people make in Nairobi and want to force down our throats, as residents of a particular county?” Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of the residents that we represent in this House do not have the luxury or ... view
• 28 Mar 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
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Many of them have not paid school fees for their children, including many challenges that you are aware of, that the citizens of this country continue to face. Therefore, owing to the cries that were brought before us by members of the public on this particular issue, it was important for the Committee to sit down and have a roundtable discussion with the Council of Governors (CoG), the County Assemblies Forum (CAF), the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC) and the State Department for Public Works. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Though I did not sign the report, it is not because I did not agree with it but I may not have been around. I agree with it entirely because I participated in coming up with the recommendations. Having listened to contributions about building county governments residences, including the county headquarters, this is an issue that has been before this House for a long time. We had this issue during the previous Parliament. I think five counties were found not to have any infrastructure that would support county headquarters offices and we made our recommendations. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Concerning the SRC circular that was issued on 24th October, 2016, county governments should consider vacating that decision. In many occasions, we Members of Parliament (MPs) speak about the SRC. It is considered that we do so based on our interaction with them on issues of salary but that is not the case. view
