• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Sorry, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. There is nothing out of order. I rise under Standing Order No.97. This is a very important Bill. Many Members will want to contribute to it and so, the 10 minutes might deny us the opportunity to contribute. I suggest that we be given five minutes per each speaker. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Five minutes. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity to contribute. First and foremost, as Members of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we were privileged to see this Bill before and discuss it. The Kenya Police Service Act stipulates very clearly that we can formulate a law that can regulate other security agencies. This industry has not been very attractive and people have not invested a lot in it because of the very many shortcomings. As Hon. Chrisantus Wamalwa has said it only attracted retirees. This is because of the low wages people who work ... view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: A few international private security companies are now operating in this country. These companies have brought some order into the industry and I thank them for that. These companies have attracted very young, experienced and educated men and women. Training which has been mentioned earlier on is very important because we need a disciplined force. We have seen how the disciplined forces behave.

We have seen a few policemen being charged in court for hiring out their guns to be used in crime. Therefore, it is important to be very careful when thinking about giving out guns. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee on Implementation visited Turkana. We were looking at the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) and the situation was very pathetic. The KPRs said that they had guns which were outdated to the extent that no company manufactured their ammunition anymore. So, once the ammunition in that station is over, they look for other guns. It is very unfortunate. So, even if we gave out guns, we must understand that we do not just give out very old guns that cannot match what the enemies have. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The other aspect relates to percentages in ownership. It has been said that 25 per cent is too low. Secondly, we will bring some regulations to curb the fees which will be charged by this Authority. The National Construction Authority (NCA) has denied young people a chance to join that industry because of charging very high fees.

• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Lastly, I want to mention one of the laws that nobody has talked about. This is the affirmative action regarding the staff who will be employed in that industry. view
• 30 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I support the Bill. However, we will bring some amendments to improve the Bill in the Third Reading. view
