Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. The NPS is important in the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government because they deal with internal security, matters of crime and protection of people’s lives and property. All the units within the NPS, including the General Service Unit (GSU) and the Administration Police (AP), should be put together. An intelligence unit should be introduced. As things stand now, we do not have an investigation department. The National Intelligence Service (NIS) is independent. The police can only get intelligence from NIS. An internal intelligence wing in the NPS is very necessary for prevention ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry. I am not threatening him. Hon. Njomo is my friend. Thank you for the one minute. I want to stress one point that was raised by Hon. Nyikal about the registration of voters who participated in the Referendum in 2010. I have just been informed that because they were not captured by the Biometric Voter Registration (BVR), they will not be eligible voters. Therefore, enough communication, advertisements and mobilization should be done to those who particularly voted for the 2010 Referendum. Secondly, we have only three BVR kits for every ward in my ...

unexplained deaths under circumstances that are not clear. We have had cases where people have been killed and the police are suspects. Or even sometimes, police themselves kill and claim to have done so in self-defence or the suspect was a dangerous criminal and so on and so forth. They go ahead to investigate those deaths. Obviously, if I were involved and acted in a manner that would cause problems for me, I would have to cover up. This is natural even for you. This is natural. Therefore, the decision to bring about this Bill to establish the coroners service ...

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am sorry, I was not referring to you. I was referring to the Chair. I am just saying that the decision is quite laudable. I commend the decision to table this Bill because it will go a long way in helping unravel cases which would have otherwise gone like Hon. Wanyonyi has just mentioned. Our son, Jacob Juma, was killed. Even before investigations had commenced, everything had been taken away including the car and the body. Nothing was on the scene by morning. To date, nobody has explained. Nobody has said who killed him. This ...

If you go further and look at the investigations and examinations in Clause 30 which proposes investigations and matters to be ascertained, it clearly says what needs to be done. For example, the purpose of the investigation into a person’s death is to ascertain the particulars of the deceased how, when and where the deceased met his or her death, the cause and manner of death and particulars required under the Births and Deaths Registration Act. It gives all details up to the state of the person. This Bill is laudable. We need to move with speed and I hope ...

Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for that warning. When you have the coroners in place, I hope they are not going to be like others. I was telling Dr. Nyikal that we were so happy when the Ombudsman was introduced and we thought he is going to look at things and have an impact that will be visible to Kenyans. That has not happened. We hope this kind of good law when passed, is not going to be like that of the Ombudsman. We will need to see things happen. When someone is killed, like the one who was ...
