• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issues raised by Sen. Bule are mainly hinged on the issue of oversight. I remember asking in this House that you guide us as the County Public Accounts and Investments Committee on what to do, given that the audited accounts of the last Financial Year 2013/2014 are now over due by more than 60 days. The Constitution deadline is that those accounts should have come for tabling by 31st December, 2014. Could you, please, guide us?

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. In consideration of your expected ruling on the point of order by Sen. Kagwe, I would like you to put into consideration the fact that if governors have refused to appear before the Senate, will they The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The Senator is telling us that they sought the concurrence of the CUE to ascertain whether, indeed, the nominee has got university education. I believe that she is referring to a letter dated 27th February, 2015. Could she clarify why in the Report, they have refused to give us a copy of the letter and, instead, they have just given us one page of that letter which has no conclusion whatsoever to convince us that he was cleared by the CUE? Could she show us where? view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not trying to split hairs, I have a copy of that Report and the letter she is referring to is dated 27th February, 2015. It is on the letter head of the CUE. They are responding to the Clerk of the Senate after the Clerk sought their confirmation. You have not given us the whole letter, you have only given us one page. We are begging that you give us the letter so that we see what Prof. Some said. It is not here in your Report. The pages are ... view

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just drawing the attention of the country to the fact that this particular officer; a patriotic Kenyan, must really be lucky. He is lucky in the sense that when he joined the Kenya Police Service, he did so as a Direct Inspector. He never broke a sweat. He was just shoed in, courtesy of none other than Rtd. Brigadier Boinett, former Director-General of the NSIS who is the younger brother of his father. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was very clear in my English. I said “direct inspector” courtesy of his uncle. If he cares to know, a “direct inspector” means the youth who after Form Six were not being subjected to breaking their sweat. There were many Form Six leavers at that time who would have loved to join direct as inspectors, but they were forced to join as police constables. I know what I am talking about. He is lucky because he then went on and was quickly recommended to join the Directorate of State Intelligence where he was given the position ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The officer who is being asked to be responsible for our security was nominated because he had to fit the bill, that is, be a tribesman of the former IG, Mr. David Kimaiyo, because the local leaders had loudly demanded that a kinsman must be the replacement for the former IG. Should we succumb to the loud demands of the leadership from one corner of the country so that we can we can give them an opportunity to have their egos massaged? The answers is “no”. Mr. Speaker, Sir, given that he only served as ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: May I inform the young Senator from Elgeyo-Marakwet that before Mr. Kimaiyo was appointed, we were the ones who vetted and approved him in this House. He had earlier been dropped by Maj. Hussein. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are persuaded that probably, the reason why there is some little semblance of calm is that there is a possibility that some police officers who were The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, because I have spoken before my brother, and colleague, he will have an opportunity to confirm that what I am saying is a figment of my imagination. However, because of the rules of debate, I am free to debate, based on the research that I have done. view
