• 13 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I wish to second the Motion and I wish to say that because we have another equally critical Bill that we are all looking forward to discussing, I wish to request that we probably give it the five minutes that my colleague has requested so that we can fast track this and get into the other order of business. Thank you. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much hon. Speaker. I want to send new year greetings from my people of Migori to Members of this House. As hon. Mbadi has said, I think if the Committee of Supply has been overtaken by events, then I would like to use this opportunity to request that even as you look around your gadget and as you check on who should speak, it is also fair that this year, you also look at the fairer gender. That way, even as we line up in your card there, you are able to see an hon. lady Members ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Having said that, I also want to say that this House, having over 300 hon. Members of Parliament, I beg that we do things differently. We should give opportunities to the not-so-common faces so that our people are able to see that we are making very serious contributions in this House. Thank you. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to oppose the amendments to this Bill. I know that this Bill seeks to remove powers from the Commission and take them to the Inspector-General. You know very well that when too much power is given to an individual, it can be used very badly. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: We have a Commission which I feel is better placed to handle the issues of National Police Service. Therefore, giving too much power to the Inspector-General of Police will not work very well. I feel that these amendments are in bad taste; the same way the Committee has just given us a Report this afternoon. That is because we needed to read this Report so that we can understand and give our input on the Bill. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Teachers Service Commission is a Commission that looks at the welfare of teachers. We have the Ministry of Education and they complement each other. To me, I look at the mandate that has been given to the Commission. The Commission is mandated to do the recruitment, training and promotions. Look at what happens in the Police Force. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The Police Force is the most corrupt institution right now in this country. Promotions are given right, left and centre. We need a Commission that sits down, consults and discusses very well issues to do with promotion. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I come from a place where police have been sent to do their work. You will find a police officer staying there for over ten years. This is a man who cannot know exactly what he is supposed to do. He has been there for ten years and yet, police officers are supposed to stay in an area, if it is longer, for three years, so that they do not engage in all manner of illicit issues. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, look at housing for the police. Where we come from, police officers continue to live in dingy areas. You cannot even compare where the police live and the kind of work they are supposed to do. They are supposed to provide security and yet, they have no houses and vehicles. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: From this point of view, I feel that the National Police Service Commission is better placed to handle issues of the police than giving so much power to the Inspector-General. view
