• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: assume that nothing has been done and yet, that problem still persists and it is very serious. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: I thought I would get a response this morning because I was given two weeks but no response was given. I would like to get an assurance that the response will be given tomorrow, given the grave nature of this matter. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I had indicated that the structure of command in the police needs to be streamlined according to the amendments proposed. There has consistently been an insistence that the Commission should be in charge of administrative functions such as simple transfers and even giving commands. This, in my view, has resulted in the police force not performing its duties properly. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: We have instances like I earlier mentioned about Laikipia, where the police force is not able to respond adequately and speedily to situations on the ground, my view is that this comes from a disorganized command structure. This may be removed if certain functions of command are made the sole preserve of the Inspector General of Police.

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: It is on his own admission. view
• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. I am in full agreement with what you have said. I would suggest that since this particular Bill has been prosecuted fairly enough, we allow contribution by only a few Members and conclude debate on it.

• 27 Nov 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. As the Mover of this particular Bill said, the majority of the amendments involved are minor. There may be those that are substantive to some hon. Members and, indeed, some that we might need to adjust. But we might need to tidy up. I would appreciate if I would be given my moment. You will have your moment. This Bill is before this House procedurally. view
