• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The other area that I wish to note the Committee considered is the drug menace. The drug menace particularly in the Coastal Region has been very high. Sometime back, His Excellency the President directed the Miritini National Youth Service Centre to be opened and rehabilitated so that the youth that are affected by the drug menace can actually be rehabilitated and brought to normal life. The Committee recommended that Kshs50 million be provided to have this centre operational. To enhance the fight against corruption, about Kshs150 million was provided so that the departments concerned, especially the DCI, can really focus. ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security was concerned about the Kenya School of Government project in Mombasa where there is an ultramodern 139- bed capacity facility that was completed over two years ago, but not equipped. This facility for the Kenya School of Government is one of the best and could be the best in Africa. As Members will recall, the Kenya School of Government was the former Kenya Institute of Administration and this was the heartbeat of the public service. Most senior officers, especially in administration and other departments, went through there. Today, we have low capacity ... view
• 9 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Those are the key highlights I wish to bring up on behalf of the Committee and my Chairperson, Hon. Peter Mwathi. We support the Budget. Of course, there are limitations of funding. There are challenges but overall, the most important thing is to be able to enhance our security so that our economy can grow. I support. view
• 8 Jun 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the response given by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding the action taken to arrest the officer and charge him in court for murder. However, I am not satisfied with two aspects. Again, the Report is not factual on the question of firing. It says that one of the officers fired in the air using his official Ceska pistol. It assumes that the one who was killed was in the air and on the ground at the same time. Practically, that cannot happen. Secondly, the Report is not ... view

• 25 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: been expressed by other Members, particularly with regard to Questions and Statements. We note that this afternoon, out of three Statements read by the Chairman, two were not satisfactory. That is an indication of what has been happening with Questions. The Ministry is handling Questions carelessly. I want to emphasize that the conditions of work for security officers need to be looked into very seriously. We visited Industrial Area Remand Prison. The warders there, in terms of living conditions, live in worse conditions than the prisoners. When we visited, we saw some warders living in nylon paper structures. Hon. Speaker, ... view
• 4 Mar 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me a chance to comment on this. The issue of Kapedo requires a very radical action. Indeed, my Chairman, Hon. Koinange, has indicated that the issue of cattle rustling is not only cultural, but it has taken commercial, political and developmental angles. As a country, we actually need to come up with a more comprehensive approach to deal with cattle rustling in that region of Kapedo. Hon. Deputy Speaker, you will note that some time back there was a lot of cattle rustling on the Elgeyo Marakwet/West Pokot border. Moreover, there ... view
