• 10 Nov 2021 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought that we have only one Speaker. I do not want to expose any accused person or suspect to the principle of double jeopardy but we have had cases where people have been released and rearrested on different charges. We do not agree with the modus operandi of the police where they abduct people without following the legal process. However, we have scenarios where people have been rearrested after their release when the police believe that they have sufficient evidence for a different charge and many Kenyans are aware of this. It is important to note ... view

• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I also thank the Senator from County 001, Sen. Mwinyihaji Mohammed Faki for being a wonderful host. When we visited Mombasa County in April of 2019, he was one of the most magnanimous hosts who ensured that our fact finding mission in not only Mombasa County, but across the coast was a success. He was on the forefront of organizing the meetings with the organizations that we met in Mombasa and the then County Commissioner, Mr. Achoki. Sen. Faki ensured that we visited the Shanzu Prisons and other organizations. I also thank the other Senators from the ... view

• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, the issue of extrajudicial killings is a sad affair. In this city of Nairobi, there were so many testimonies by parents who alleged that when the trigger happy police officers kill your son or daughter, who are mostly young, you have to pay for the bullet and they had a price tag for that bullet. It is sad to live as a young person in this city and other major cities in this Republic. You are more likely to die from the bullet of a rogue police officers than through an accident or disease. The more we ... view
