• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, if you delete “two thirds”, it will, therefore, read as follows:- “That in appointing persons as members of the Service, the Director- General and the Council shall ensure that the composition of the Service gender requirement---” What will that mean?

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to oppose the amendment for the following reason; probably, the hon. Member is mistaking this to mean that you will require a certificate of clearance from NIS. This particular clause does not contemplate a situation whereby you have to be given a certificate of clearance. It simply says confidential information about you is passed over to the vetting authority so that the vetting authority makes an informed decision. Let me connect this to the important issue of running for presidency of the Republic of Kenya. It is a vettable position, Kenyans must know. Now we ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Chairman, Sir, I rise to support this amendment. With time an officer becomes very sophisticated by way of analysing information. So, while in service when he chooses to use that information against the State, it is because he has got something very lucrative that is causing him to make that unpatriotic decision. So that members of the force will realize the consequences of making that unpatriotic decision, the punishment must be enhanced. An officer must realize that there is a fine of Kshs5 million and a jail term of ten years or both because in the world of espionage, ... view

• 24 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I stand to oppose this amendment, because the 36 hours are not imaginary. It is a practical calculation. For example, if a person who wants to commit a crime is discovered on a Saturday morning, and he is going to cause trouble on Sunday evening, surely, the NIS cannot wait until Monday when the judge is in the office for them to make an application. So, if you calculate, it will be 48 hours. So, if we give 36 hours--- The drafters have really bent backwards to give us this. We should support it. view
