30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are discharging a very serious responsibility in order to save those who brought us to this House – some of who serve in the private security services sector. The authority will also provide private security officers and their employees with an employment formula and a way of protecting their interests as well as the interests of the users of security services. Under this proposed law, if you engage a security firm to provide you with security guards, an alarm system and cash transfer services, how are your rights guaranteed? The electronic version of the Official ...

Part III of the Bill outlines the requirements for registration of a private security service provider. It outlines certain parameters that one must fulfil in order to qualify for registration as a private security provider. Not every Tom, Dick and Harry can form a security firm. There are many quacks and private companies that pretend to provide private security and yet, they can hardly afford to provide their guards with uniforms. Clause 21 prohibits an individual private security service provider from providing security services at a fee unless such service provider is registered by the authority. Therefore, you cannot form ...

Clause 27 requires all individuals to comply with a new code of conduct that is set out in the Second Schedule of the Bill. If this Bill is assented to, there will be a code of conduct that every individual serving in the private security service must comply with. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Part IV of the Bill provides for the registration of a corporate private security service provider. Clause 28 prohibits a corporate private security service provider from providing security services unless such providers are registered by the proposed authority. Even if you are a corporate private security service ...

Part V of the Bill sets out the general provisions. Clause 37 provides for additional requirements for registration, such as submission of clear and complete fingerprints of all the prospective service providers. Some have previously committed crimes. Some are murderers but because they have no jobs, they end up becoming security service providers. Some of them are known rapists but, at the end of the day, they end up guarding your house. Such people can rape your daughters and steal from your house. Therefore, under Clause 37, a security service provider seeking to employ a guard must provide a clear ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clause 40 of the Bill requires PSSA to keep a register of all persons licenced and registered as private security providers under this Act. Today, if the Inspector-General of Police (I-GP), other national security armed agencies and the Director- General of Kenya's National Intelligence Service (NIS) wants to find out the number of private security service guards, they can have that information. They will have their history, bio-data and finger prints. The envisaged authority will have that data-bank to provide and say: “So and so works for this authority. These are his finger prints. This is ...

30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly:
Part IX provides for a complaints process for a person aggrieved by the quality of the service provider. I am sure most of us use private security firms. They come to work when they are drunk. They come and rape the people they are supposed to guard. They steal from schools and collude with gangsters to steal from banks. So, Part IX provides the complaint process for a person aggrieved by the quality of service given by the security firm and how to get redress. Clause 35 sets the procedure for such a process. Clause 54 provides for the appointment ...
