• 29 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: The Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA) demeans the services of the police. The Kavuludi Commission and the civil society are also intimidating police officers. As we pass this Motion today, it should be implemented to the letter. We have talked about very many issues. We have sought many Adjournment Motions in this House whenever we have insecurity in certain parts of this country, but they have not yielded anything. We only sit here, discuss, pass and say that we urge the Government. In every Motion, we urge the Government. I do not know where the phrase “we urge the Government” ... view

This is a very small amendment. It was just meant to align the Act with the amendment which was in this House before, which talked about the Board to finish their work before 31st December, this year. It is very important because if the section remains the way it is, it might bring up some litigation issues. That is why it is good to bring the amendment, which I support.

• 9 Jul 2015 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman. I want to second this amendment by Hon. Wamalwa. This is a very good amendment for the country and for the Government. Remember we are bringing in new commissioners to the Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC). We have had problems at the EACC and the current secretariat of the EACC is part and parcel of the problems that rocked the EACC. That is why we are here today with the issue of new commissioners. To have a new beginning in the EACC, we need to also have a new secretariat. It will be ... view
