There is misleading information being given by some Members that in the course of their interviews and findings they did not find any report that terms miraa as a drug. That is very misleading information. The true picture is that the Pharmacy and Poisons Board Act--- view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I also want to add to what hon. Shill has said. It is true that in most parts of the North Eastern region – what is called Garissa, Wajir and Mandera counties – police units are very few. All the AP units that have been in existence in that area have been removed. That is a fact. The head of the National Police Service (NPS) and his two deputies are aware. We have raised this matter with them. Their explanation then was that it was because of the attacks that happened. According to them, a police post ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, the national police reservists are part of the National Police Service and the Police Service Act gives the Inspector-General authority to decide how and when to recruit and deploy them, in consultation with the National Security Council. It gives powers to the IG to decide on how to deploy the national police reservists. So, the national police reservists are part of the National Police Service. view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I stand to support this Motion. I thank the Mover of the Motion, hon. Lentomaiga for bringing this Motion at this time, which is timely. For most of us who come from the ASAL areas, we acknowledge how important security is. Whereas in many parts of Kenya security is precarious, in the ASAL areas, it is worse. In my constituency which has the longest border with Somalia, we have suffered insecurity related incidents and Al Shabaab attacks where regular police officers and the APs are limited. It is mostly the KPRs who do the ... view
• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: could only improve their working conditions and their welfare, give them some allowances, uniforms and firearms, I am sure they will do wonders as the regular police officers. Honestly speaking, the ratio of the police to citizens in Kenya is way below the UN standards. I was in Australia last week and when you go out at night in the major cities, after five minutes, you will see a police patrol car. In those developed countries, when we talk of the ratio of the citizens to the police, it is very different from ours. For us to meet this shortfall ... view

• 25 Sep 2013 in National Assembly: As leaders, we feel that the County Police Commanders along the border areas are sleeping on their job. They are co-opted into corrupt practices by corrupt individuals. The people who attacked Westgate Mall sometimes enter this country through the borders. We are wondering why the County Police Commanders are not working. We have clear examples of this in our counties. We would like this matter to be taken into consideration. In the ASAL areas, we used to have various ways in which the police worked during the colonial era. Police used to ride on a camel because we did not ... view
• 1 Aug 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir.
