• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: of the Treaty Making and Ratification Act. We identified this as a big gap. This is a responsibility that is at the doorsteps of the Attorney-General. This Committee pleads with the House that this be done within a period of two months. To ensure that this recommendation is not in vain, this Committee recommends that the Attorney General files a status report to this House within a period of three months to confirm full compliance of this recommendation. On legislative reform, my Committee recommends that this honourable House amends the National Police Service Act and the Independent Police Oversight Authority ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thirdly, we are recommending to Parliament that the Independent Policing Oversight Authority Act, the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, the Prisons Act, the Forest Conservation and Management Act and the Kenya Coast Guard Services Act be amended to expand the mandate of the IPOA to exercise civilian oversight and investigation mandates on crimes alleged by officers of the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS), the Kenyan Police Service (KPS), the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) and the Kenya Coast Guard Service (KCGS). view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: The reason behind this is that as we stand today, IPOA does not have a mandate over the bodies that we have named here yet we have accounts of the abuse that has been committed by officers serving under those bodies. The body responsible for these amendments is Parliament. We have proposed that this be dome within a period of 12 months. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, on the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Interior and Coordination of National Government, we have made a recommendation that he moves with speed to make regulations on the use of force and firearms to guide police officers as is required under the Sixth Schedule of the National Police Service Act. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: This is a lacuna because this obligation is placed under the mandate of the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government. However, these regulations have never been enacted. This has left the police to be a bit roguish on how to use reasonable force and firearms in enforcing the law. We are of the view that once these regulations are put in place, it will act as a check on the use and misuse of fire arms by police officers. The actor who should implement this is the CS for Interior and Coordination of National Government acting together with ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: there is no clear guideline on how victims who are supposed to receive compensation under the Victim Protection Act should get their compensation. We recommend that action should be taken by the Attorney-General in collaboration with the CS for National Treasury and Planning, and that this should be done within six months. To ensure that our recommendation is not in vain, we recommend that the Office of the Attorney-General and the CS for National Treasury and Planning should file a status report on compliance with this recommendation within three months. Madam Deputy Speaker, that marks the end of the Committee’s ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: operationalize the National Coroners Service Act and the Prevention of Torture Act. These are very progressive pieces of legislation that were enacted by Parliament, but were never operationalized. This was left in the hands of the Attorney General and the CS for National Treasury and Planning. In the course of our hearings we did not get convincing reasons why these two pieces of legislations have not been operationalized. This Committee, therefore, makes recommendations that the Attorney-General, acting with the CS for National Treasury and Planning, should operationalize those two pieces of legislations within a period of two months from the ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, another administrative recommendation is that the Office of the Attorney General in consultation with the Labour, Social Security and Services Cabinet Secretary and the Health Cabinet Secretary and other relevant Government agencies should make available all necessary information and provide psycho-social support to families affected by extra-judicial killings and enforced disappearances. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, if you read the report; I gave an account of the psychological suffering that families go through when their family members disappear without trace; without knowing whether they are alive or dead. This causes a lot of mental torture to families. We are recommending this should be done on a continuous basis by the Office of the Attorney -General and the Attorney-General files status report to Senate within a period of two months. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, another recommendation is that the Attorney General in consultation with the Cabinet Secretary for the National Treasury and Planning should view
