• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: One of the things which have come up and should be of big concern to these particular new Commissioners is the new activity which is going through the courts. If somebody dies in the hands of police officers, a lot of times, it is a case of misadventure. If there is a robbery and somebody who is far away or near that incident gets shot, the police officers are convicted for murder. From what we have seen in the Press, the Director of Criminal Investigation went through that experience. He almost lost his life trying to save Kenyans. This is ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. These police officers come from our constituencies and other parts of the country. They do a very important job. Each one of us is assigned a police officer for taking care of our security. Therefore, the whole scenario must be re-looked at by the new commissioners, so that we can make sure that our Kenyans are safe, and also the people who take care of our security are safe and happy where they live with their families. A lot of other Kenyans who are looking for job in security area will look forward to ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I want to come to the vetting of Ms. Lilian Mutio Kiamba whom I know very well. As a practising lawyer, I had an opportunity to work with her on matters pending at the DCI. I want to confirm that this is a very able officer. She has balanced the gender. She has the capacity to work. She is still very strong, despite the long service in the police force. I believe she will deal with matters relating to children, gender, women and people living with disabilities. A lot of Members have alleged here that a lot of police officers ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I also want to assure Kenyans and this House that the Inspector-General, Mr. Boinnet, is very keen on the safety, security and welfare of police officers. Even though he will go on retirement, I am very sure Kenyans will miss him and will look forward to another officer of that nature to come to serve Kenyans. These are the same people the Constitution talks about. People who serve the public with distinction should be considered in serving Kenyans in different The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only.

• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: capacities. As you heard earlier on in the House, one of the biggest challenges in Kenya is cattle rustling where lives are lost. We passed a law on cattle rustling. What can we do to make sure that lives are not lost because of cattle rustling which at times is a cultural practice but it has now been turned into a crime equivalent to murder or robbery with violence in the new law which we passed in this House? I believe that if we do all this and we approve these very important commissioners, Kenyans will be served in a ... view

• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I would like to seek your direction before Hon. Washiali moves the Motion. We had agreed before the Session that each Member speaks for three minutes, according to the Standing Orders. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. The operative word here is “may dismiss”. Therefore, it is not mandatory. Again, appropriate reasons for the said dismissal is a sufficient threshold when you want to sack a CEC Member who is wayward. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me an opportunity to contribute on this very important Report by the Select Committee on NG-CDF. Quite a number of things have been highlighted, but the most important is on how money has been disbursed, the amounts already given and what is pending. If you go through that list of constituencies, Makueni is one of them, and it has been allocated Kshs109 million. What has been disbursed is Kshs36 million and what is expected to be disbursed is Kshs73 million. You can see how the people of Makueni are disadvantaged by what ... view
