• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Inspector-General of Police is not being empowered as such. After all, it is just a four-year term. The tenure is just four years and we get another one. We are not trying to empower one person. It is an institution or an office which does not belong to Kimaiyo or Kavuludi. That is because all of them are working for the interest of Kenyans. We agree that there has been a problem of security in the whole country and the Police Force has even changed its name. It is now called “the National Police Service”. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want Members and Kenyans to support the police because they are our brothers, sisters and sons. It is us who can rectify the problem. They are demoralized the moment we start throwing stones or making a lot of noise. Already, their morale is very low because the civil society or the Non-Governmental Organisation (NGOs) are attacking them a lot. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: When 50 policemen were killed in Baragoi, no NGO made a lot of noise or went to court. It is like they were dogs which were killed. However, if one Kenyan is shot by a policeman, the whole country is turned upside down. We are saying that those people need our support. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, vetting is going on and we have seen a number of officers being thrown out of the Police Force. Therefore, I want to say that by giving the Inspector-General (I-G) that operational decision-making, we are going to assist him. An hon. Member talked about ... view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, if I had the time, I would propose a further amendment to this particular amendment because even though we are claiming that it is other people who are killing our wild animals, those people also use our people. Secondly, wildlife cannot be contained in the parks only, especially the dangerous ones, including rhinos, elephants and lions. There is no enough land. They stray daily onto our community land. They go there to kill our livestock and attack people. I cannot say much. Therefore, I support the Chairperson with a lot of reservations. view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order! view
• 13 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: What is out of order is the issue of the Inspector General transferring people. I want to say that the Inspector General is also a member of that commission. I want to read. “The Commission consists of the Inspector-General, the Deputy Inspector-General---” The Inspector General sits in the commission and he provides the agenda for the commission. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I want to support the Bill with amendments. When we were doing the amendments, we involved all the stakeholders. For example, the Commission on Implementation of the Constitution (CIC), the Independent Policing Oversight Authority, the National Police Service Commission, the Inspector-General’s office, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights, the Kenya Law Reform, the Attorney-General’s office, the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government, KEPSA, the Citizen Group comprising of Katiba Institute, Kenya Human Rights Commission, Usalama Forum and others. This Bill is meant to make the police friendlier. view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: As I speak, the police are seen not to be friendly at all. Sometimes they are accused of being trigger-happy. They are considered very rude. This is part of the reforms that will make them friendlier to the citizens and deliver services efficiently. During our interaction, we borrowed so much from reports that were written by Ransley Kriegler, Waki and many other reports that have been written in this country about the police. The Committee also received memorandum from private persons and in particular, we were also looking at the issue of the quarrels that were going on between the ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: This particular Bill is meant for prosperity and not because of the two institutions of the police. We also went through the issue of the amendments that were made, about the involvement of the Cabinet Secretary. The Bill addresses the issue of avoiding the interference of the Cabinet Secretary because it erodes the independent role the Commission has. The Cabinet Secretary should not get involved in the human resource aspect of the Commission. On the issue of the coram during meetings, the Bill also addresses the issue that, at least, the coram should be six and the uniformed officers must ... view
• 12 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: The Bill also looks at the board, which comprises the Inspector General, deputies and one human resource officer. Before the agenda is taken to the main Commission meeting, the board prepares an agenda for that meeting, so that it is easy for it to be deliberated in the meeting. view
