• 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
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: On a point of order Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I agree with my colleagues who have spoken before me that what Sen. Kang‘ata is pursuing is an exercise in futility. A few months ago, the Deputy Speaker of this Senate made a detailed ruling about this particular issue when we had a matter that generated more heat than this particular one. I know that Sen. Kang‘ata occasionally walks in and out of the Senate but sitting down and following the proceedings of the House will do him more justice. He should also take time to read the copies of the HANSARD. The electronic ... view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: What about the points of order? view
• 15 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a sad issue that we canvassing as representatives of the people. It is unfortunate that with each passing day, there seems to be an emerging trend where CSs sit in well-furnished air-conditioned offices and make policy pronouncements that have completely no bearing or understanding of the challenges that members of the public face. This rogue policy direction reminds me of the other one where somebody sat in the Cabinet and made a decision that traders who import goods into this country cannot transport them in one container by pulling resources together. This forced them to ... view
