• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: fast track the payment of court awards and reparations for victims of unlawful police killings. We were given accounts of court awards that have turned out to be paper awards because most of the victims who have received compensation have never been paid. There was a case of the late opposition doyen in our politics, the late Mr. Kenneth Matiba. The period he waited for his compensation was inordinately long. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, we are making a recommendation that once court awards are given, payment should be immediate. However, we have cases where victims have been waiting for as long as 10 years without getting compensation from the Government. Another recommendation is that the Inspector General should ensure compliance with Section 25 of IPOA which requires notification to IPOA of all suspicious deaths and serious injuries that happen to members of the public in the hands of the police officers. Madam Deputy Speaker, we were told by IPOA that the NPS has never complied with this section of the law. ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: The police behave as big brothers and never make any reports available to IPOA. We hope that this can be done on a continuous basis and status reports be filed to the Senate. There are number of administrative recommendations and I may not go to all of them. Others include failure by the NPS to interdict and discipline police officers who are found to have breached professional standards of the police. The reasoning is that if disciplinary action is taken, then we are able to weed out bad elements from the NPS. However, IPOA told us that rarely do police ... view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: We also recommend that the Inspector of General ensures all police records and registers are correctly, properly and timely, and accurately entered, updated and kept so that the idea of going digital; the e-occurrence is fully implemented. Occurrence Books (OB) should now be electronic and fully automated. We recommend that the Inspector General should ensure that this is complied with henceforth. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Finally, Madam Deputy Speaker, we recommend that the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government, in consultation with the National Treasury and Planning Cabinet Secretary and the IPOA, should increase budgetary allocation to IPOA. The accounts we got from IPOA is that they have continued to be underfunded to the extent that they are not able to respond and conduct investigations to the police excesses that are done across the 47 counties. We are strongly recommending that going forward, the National Treasury should increase budgetary allocation to IPOA. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, in brief, we want to report to the House that having done this inquiry, we formed the conclusion that the Kenyan police should be professional, observe the rule of law, respect constitutional rights of Kenyans as enshrined in Article 26 of the Constitution and ensure that suspects are subjected to the rule of law by arresting them. They should take them to court, but not taking the law into their hands. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: This sustained abuse and excessive use of force and extra-judicial killings is giving a very bad international image to this country. It is something that we condemn as a Committee. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Madam Deputy Speaker, I beg to move. With your permission, ask a member of my Committee, Attorney-General Emeritus Hon. Amos Wako, Senior Counsel, to second the report. view
• 9 Nov 2021 in Senate: Yes. view
• 4 Nov 2021 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for giving me an opportunity to contribute to this report. Every time I stand to read a piece of work done by the Senator of Nairobi City County, I cannot hide the brilliance in the work that he does. We must acknowledge that among the Senators in this House, one that is hardworking, brilliant and puts belief and conviction in the work he does, is Sen. Sakaja. When you read the report that he has presented before this House, it is not disappointing. I must thank him and Members of his Committee for the ... view
