Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the code of conduct of this House is very clear; that the dress code must be decent. The hon. Senator is not wearing shoes and she is giving a notice of Motion. I think we should look into that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I stand to support this Motion and congratulate Sen. Kihika for such an effort. I remember that on that fateful day, she endured the midnight cold to stand with the families. She has been very vocal when it comes to advocating for the rights of the victims who lost their lives and the families who survived. She is an able Senator who is executing her mandate very well. I was aggrieved when I attended the funeral service at Solai and the protocol officers there wanted to deny Sen. Kihika a chance to speak as a ...

rider who knocked down a school girl. He was charged in court for not renewing his driving licence. He was given a cash bail of Kshs100,000 which he has not paid to date. He is still in remand just because he did not renew his driving licence. It is sad that the people who caused the death of the Solai victims have not appeared before any court to be charged. Up to now, they are walking free. I feel very bad that such incidences have happened before and nothing has been implemented as per the recommendations that were made. I ...

I am passionate about this thing. I was asking Sen. Kihika why she did not include me in the Committee. If I am allowed by the provisions of the Standing Orders, I seek to move an amendment on the composition of the membership of the Committee to remove Sen. Sakaja: and replace him with Sen. Malalah since I am more passionate. Sen. Sakaja, you have other issues of Moi Nairobi Girls Secondary School and Huruma building collapse to handle. This House should vote on whether he should be removed and replaced with me immediately. The electronic version of the Senate ...

Madam Temporary Speaker, I stand to be guided; is it in order for the hon. Senator to take us through the amendments and yet she is just supposed to second the Bill? I think she should be addressing the gist of the Bill generally not to take us through the specific amendments. I would suggest that she address the generalities of the Bill and not the specific amendments. That can be done in the Committee of the Whole. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like you to give direction as to whether the question that was asked is a property of the Member or of the House. I think we also should have information on the response. The Member cannot attend a meeting of the Committee and think that he has satisfied the House. I do not think this is a matter of the Member but of the House and the response should come to the House.

Thank you. We need to address the issue of police brutality and come to a conclusive end. However, I still want to look at this problem from the police officer’s perspective. The police officers are not corrupt because they are greedy but because they are demoralised. The other day, I was shocked when one of the agencies suggested that we should reduce the salaries of police officers. I think that is absurd. We need to encourage and give morale to our officers. When you look at their housing and insurance package, I think these are some of the factors that ...
