• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you look at the very last amendments, you can see that there are some words which have been included just before “life and property”. That is what we said in the very last meeting that we had. We looked at that and we adjusted it. In fact, it is not a further amendment. It is what we agreed on in our last meeting when we were doing the Report. We agreed that we needed to include some of the words such as “reasonable” and “justifiable”.

We need to look at it, especially the transfers. Recently, a few ladies from the Administration Police (AP) were caught selling illicit brew right at the heart of Nakuru Town. They had opened bars and they were selling beer when they were off duty. They were transferred but they went to court to stop those transfers. Where is this country headed to? So, these are the issues we need to look at. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Lastly, I would like to talk about the attack in Mombasa. It is very unfortunate. We saw very clearly what happened in that mosque. Those people should be in the fore-front of preaching peace. Such a place of worship should be used for such kind of purposes.
