• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we talk of a suspect holding the office of a Senator being arrested, detained in a police station for two nights and released without any charges being preferred against him, ordinary Kenyans need to worry. If this is happening to Sen. Malalah, what is happening to Wanjiku, Moraa and Oloo out there? view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: That newly appointed Inspector General of Police (IG) should understand that in fulfilment of his constitutional mandate under Article 245(2), he is supposed to exercise independent command of the Police Service. Under Article 245(4), he is not supposed to receive direction from any person, to enable him investigate any crime against any person. If we go further to Article 49(h) the police have powers to release a suspect on bond pending presentation before court and a charge being preferred. Why should you arrest a Senator, who does not pose any flight risk; keep him in police cells, in very inhuman ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: It is not right for the police to say that they will arrest you, lock you up, conduct investigations, and if they think they have not found any grounds to charge you, then they release you. That is not the way it should be. The police should only arrest a Kenyan after they have conducted investigations and there are grounds to sustain a criminal charge in a court of law. If we allow these kinds of abuses by the police, then we cannot say we are a democratic state. We are under the tyranny of the police if this can ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I saw the picture of the Hon. Gikaria in Nakuru; on a cold floor and without shoes. Why should this happen even after passing our Constitution, 2010? That is not the way the police should conduct business in this country. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I urge the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to invite the Kenya Human Rights Commission (KHRC) to look at the conditions under which people are arrested and detained in police cells. Madam Speaker, if that is what is happening to Kenyans, then we are not in a free democratic country that respects human rights. We will be living a lie. This House should take stern action against the Kenya Police, especially the Officer Commanding Kisumu Police Station. Even after direction from the DPP, Sen. Malalah was kept in police cells up to long past ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I protest against that shameful conduct of our police officers. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: I support. view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologise. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I also rise on the Statement that has been requested by my good friend, Sen. Pareno. However, I think the case we have at hand is a very clear indication of an institution, by the name, Teachers Service Commission (TSC), which has gone berserk. This is the expression of an institution that wants to become the Lord of impunity. view
• 16 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Article 47 of the Constitution states that: ―Every person has the right to administrative action that is expeditious, efficient, lawful, reasonable and procedurally fair.‖ What I have heard from the nominated Senator is that the TSC has proceeded to interdict teachers even before the period provided to respond to the ―show cause‖ letters had elapsed. This is an indication of an institution that does not even want to respect our own Constitution. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard ... view
