• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: “As the Inspector General of Police, I would like to assure you that they have the capability, capacity, and training to succeed in this mission and that they will deliver when they get to Haiti”. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: That is the last thing that Kenyans heard from him, but when the country is burning, he is silent. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, one of the requirements for demonstrations is that demonstrators would notify the police of their demonstrations. Then they would be The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Director, Hansard and AudioServices, Senate. view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: guided on how to organize their demonstrations and where to go. They would be escorted through the streets or wherever they are going to present their petitions. All this time, the IG is absent. Perhaps, the words that the President used on the former IG of Police, Mr. Mutyambai, on the level of incompetence and cluelessness, are better suited used on IG Koome. Perhaps the President spoke too early when he addressed Mr. Mutyambai. Talking about incompetence and lack of capacity, the IG is the embodiment of lack of capacity to lead the Kenya Police Service (KPS). Mr. Koome must ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Including what Sen. Onyonka has said. More serious and important is this thing about MPs and public officers being expected to dish out money in Harambees every day--- view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for indulging me. This idea of MPs being seen as moving Automatic Teller Machines (ATMs) or people who have so much money to just give to people will not help us. Both the leaders and the people being led must learn to live within their means. Let people not expect too much money and contributions from Members at a time that we are saying we must uphold austerity for this country to move forward. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be ... view
• 3 Jul 2024 in Senate: Lastly, as the Senate Majority Leader said when moving the Motion, let us now have a new budget estimate tabled before Parliament so that now we can debate and pass a budget that reflects our ability to finance our own operations. There was no reason why the Members of the National Assembly added themselves Kshs30 million for National Government Constituency Development Fund (NG-CDF). What for? If you multiply Kshs30 million by 280 constituencies, that is Kshs8.7 billion? In fact, that money should be going to counties as part of the equitable share. We must confront these issues and deal with ... view
• 26 Jun 2024 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for this opportunity to add my voice to this Motion. This is not the first time that an adjournment Motion is being sought after going through the necessary approvals. I would say that, perhaps this is the first time that an adjournment Motion is being sought for the wrong reason and at the wrong time. I take this opportunity to declare that I, on behalf of the people of Kitui County, oppose to an adjournment at this time. This is for the following reasons. It is basic knowledge that we have three arms of the ... view
• 26 Jun 2024 in Senate: like any other defence officers in any other country in the world, are trained to do three things. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish the Senate Minority Leader could listen to this because he supported this Motion. First, the KDF is trained to fight. The other thing is to kill and the last thing is to die for their country in defence and against external aggression. The KDF is not trained in crowd control. They do not understand that language because they are not trained in that way; unless we are telling them to come out and kill as many as ... view
• 26 Jun 2024 in Senate: The other institution that I want to address is the Judiciary and specifically the Chief Justice and the President of the Supreme Court of Kenya, Justice Martha Koome. I applaud Justice Martha Koome. She has the courage to lead from the front. I am beginning to admire the way she is doing her things. At a time that young people are being arrested left, right and centre and abducted, she very well articulates the provisions of Article 49 on the rights of arrested persons. She said the Judiciary is ready to work overtime to hear cases, make determinations and to ... view
• 26 Jun 2024 in Senate: When I hear my colleagues here say that the intention was not to kill, I ask myself, when you fire live bullets into a crowd, what do you expect? In fact, I really thank God that the numbers are not what this officer, and officers like him, intended them to be. The intention to kill was evident. The clergy have spoken. Even as late as last evening, the clergy spoke. Not once, not twice, many times. Professional bodies, including the LSK, teachers' organizations, medics, the business community, investors, both local, regional, and international and the ambassadors have spoken. They have ... view
