• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker, Sir. From the onset, I want to congratulate the Inspector-General nominee, Douglas Kanja, for having gotten a chance to serve, I believe as the fourth IG of Police. Mr. Kanja will be taking office during a very challenging time. I want to state here that his first responsibility should be to ensure that the police respect the provisions of Article 244 of the Constitution. We need to restore public confidence in our police being a police service and not a terrorist unit. I have just been wondering, when those out there who are looking ... view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: When they gave summons to Mr. Jimmy Wanjigi to appear at the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI), he walked there yesterday. That is how we should be; proud as a nation and then we can say we have a police. I am the one who defended Hon. Keter. He was arrested. The Ethics and Anti- Corruption Commission (EACC) published his name on the run-up to elections, and said, this is the big fish that we got. I did that case for him in Naivasha and he was acquitted. However, before he was acquitted, he was in police detention for two ... view

• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: When I heard your introductions, you said you are the County Attorney? view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: He is the County Executive Committee Member (CECM)? view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Okay, that is even better for me. There is an issue that has always caused problems for us. I just wanted to get clarification from you; the issue of public participation. As a County Attorney, I wanted you to shed some light for us. When you do public participation, do you use your professional staff as a county or it is in order for Members of County Assembly (MCAs) to conduct public participation on their own and prepare minutes? Maybe, you could refer to page 355 of volume five where minutes were taken and recorded by an MCA. I have ... view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: That is volume V. I am sure the lawyers will give you. There are a number of photos--- view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Have a look at those photos and just confirm to me whether the people who did the public participation are staff of the County Assembly or it was done by the membersof the public. Finally, I want you to respond to the issue that has been coming from courts. Public participation needs to be quantitative, qualitative and meaningful. If you go to page 463, the people who attended public participation are given as three; Page 467, three people; Page 468, nobody attended; Page 471, five people; Page 485, seven and Page 501, six. As an attorney from the county government ... view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these are quasi -judicial proceedings. This is a professional who is being condemned without being given a chance to say his side of the story. This document would have been introduced and given to the witness when he was on the witness box. If we now produce and table it, it becomes a public document without his side of the story, we would have condemned him unheard. view
• 20 Aug 2024 in Senate: Governor, you gave Linda Gakii Kiome a notice of termination on 26th March, 2024. How did she take it and how is your relationship with the her? Is it cordial, do you talk, and is there any vendetta against either of you? view
