• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. The tradition is that, when you bring an amendment the way he has done, you are supposed to explain the import. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: He has just said that private investigators had not been provided for. That is not an explanation. Who is this private investigator? Why are you bringing this? It was involved in what contest? So, you need to give him an opportunity to explain the import of this amendment. Thank you. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, in terms of the procedure of electing the chairperson and for purposes of consistency, chairpersons are normally appointed by the President. This has been practised in other similar boards. I do not see any value addition in his proposed amendment. It is already provided for, as Hon. Shaban had earlier mentioned. Secondly, when it comes to the composition of the board, for purposes of efficiency and representation of the stakeholders, I do not see the value that FKE will add. The FKE and the The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Central Organization of Trade Unions (COTU) are mutually inclusive. The moment you bring in the FKE, automatically, we will bring the issue of COTU. I do not see value addition in FKE. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to oppose this amendment, particularly the bit on primary school qualification. We know that majority of the people in security service are Form Four leavers. Even the basic academic requirement for enlisting in the National Police Service is a mean Grade D+ in the Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE). In terms of ensuring proper record management, it should be noted that some holders of Kenya Certificate of Primary Education (KCPE) in the rural areas cannot even communicate. In this case, I wish Hon. Ottichilo gave a justification. Why are we talking ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I find this amendment vague and repetitive. The vetting committee must come up with a criterion like the one we have been using to vet Cabinet Secretaries, giving the different attributes that one must look at or a questionnaire tool. Saying that the person who is eligible for registration as a private security service provider must be security-vetted is vague and not necessary. Since this is a private investigator and there is training on security matters, the tool for vetting must be valid and reliable. It must have the security element. So, we do ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: I oppose the amendment. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I stand to support Hon. Ottichilo. The way it is stipulated in Clause 30(2)(e), it is ambiguous and vague. It gives room for discretion. The moment you give room for discretion, there is likely to be abuse and room for corruption. So, we do not know this and I oppose. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: It was the other one. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I rise to support this very critical amendment. I have been a victim. You are driving on a road and you find a roadblock somewhere manned by people who have uniforms similar to those of police officers. You stop only to realise that they are thugs. It is very important. The offence should have a higher penalty because this is something which has been going on. These private security firms must be warned that their uniforms should be totally different from those of officers in the police force. view
