• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to start at the outset by saying that what Kenya needs today are strong institutions and not strong men, strong women, strong individuals in strong offices that can abuse and subject Kenyans to difficulties and sufferings. What this Bill is trying to achieve today is to return Kenya to the past where there were individuals or specific office holders who had more power and ability to make life difficult for Kenyans. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The contentious issues being proposed in this particular Bill are trying to take away the constitutional mandate given to the commission in this Constitution, under Article 246. They want to give the management of the human resource of the Police Service to an individual and further even to weaken the commission as was very well articulated by my colleagues before me. They want to subject decisions to the approval or consent of a Cabinet Secretary who, indeed, is not a member of this commission under the Constitution. How can he be involved or how can he be sought for consent, ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, this House is today standing another test or trial. We must stand firm to make sure that Kenyans, Police Service and administration is never taken back to the draconian days when power was abused using this particular force. The Inspector General is very well represented in the commission. He sits in that commission with his two deputies. In addition to that, he sits in the commission with two previous colleagues who have served in senior positions in the National Police Service. What decisions can he not push through the commission if he really wanted? What is ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the commission has a free hand in regulating and ensuring that there is a smooth running of the Police Service. Indeed, it can empower and delegate to the Inspector General certain issues which are within its mandate and under its supervision to give him the powers to be able to suggest or ensure that the Police Service is moving on well. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I want to turn your attention to an amendment that is being proposed. I just want to point out the cautions that we might put on this particular amendment. Clause wants to amend Section 28 of the principal Act by amending subparagraph (n). I want to turn your attention to that subparagraph (n) which deals with the vetting of the applications by the commission. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: If we do not stop this from happening, we will have very many unvetted officers showing up in the Police Force. We will have very many “Waiganjos” showing up in various parts of our Police Force. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am looking at the National Police Service Commission (Amendment) Bill which we are discussing today. If you look at Clause 6 of that particular amendment which is amending Section 28, you will find that it wants the deletion of paragraph “n” that deals with the vetting process. So, I am rightfully on this. What that means is that the Inspector General wants to have exclusivity of vetting these officers himself. He is taking this away from the noble men under a commission that has been established. There is something very wrong in this amendment. If ... view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I end, I want to challenge my fellow colleagues that this House’s ability to stand and defend the Constitution and the right of Kenyans is on trial again today. We must stand strong and say no to these amendments. We must ensure that Kenyans have decided to devolve power and we must not negate that achievement by passing this kind of Bill. I rest my case. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you very much. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Chairman is misleading us! view
