• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: I begin by saying that Mr. Kanja is taking office at a very critical moment in the history of our country. He is occupying office at a time when this country has endured the greatest levels of police brutality. Mr. Kanja is coming into office when the National Police Service (NPS) in the eyes of almost every Kenyan, is known for two things. One, brutality, and two, corruption. Yet, in Article 244 of the Constitution, under the functions of the service, I took time to go through that Article. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information ... view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: I cannot locate the NPS under the provisions of Article 244 of the Constitution. Why? That Article says that the Service is supposed to uphold the highest standards of professionalism. That is wanting in the Service. It says that the Service is supposed to prevent corruption, act transparently and pursue accountability. I cannot locate that in the Service. It says that the Service is supposed to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, which is also lacking in the Service. It says that the service should promote a relationship with the broader society. That also is lacking in the service. view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: I have listened to Sen. Mugatana seconding the Motion. He spoke from my mouth. A time has come that perhaps the head of the NPS needs to work extra hours and with greater dedication, to change the face of the NPS, so that a person in dire need sees a police officer on the streets, they run to the officer because the officer will provide help at the time of need. As I speak, if you are lost in the streets of Nairobi and see police officers, it is difficult to approach them for help. What could happen is that ... view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: The IG is coming into office at a time when there is need for him to exercise full independence as provided for in Article 245 of the Constitution. Abductions by hooded police officers must be dealt with. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I conclude, he is coming into office on a day when Maina Wanjigi has been arrested for reasons we do not even understand. That belongs to the past and it must stop. I thank you. view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have followed submissions by Munene and the other witnesses. There is a very simple way of settling conflict on this legal advice. I would like the witness to submit to the House, who has custody of the original copy of the legal advice. view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to guide you on this, but I would request that you give that as a directive. At a point that is appointed by you, the advice should be made available to us to help us make a decision. view
