• 23 May 2019 in Senate: This Senate will never be effective in discharging its oversight functions if it does not get the full backing of the President and the oversight funds. We cannot talk of oversight with no funds. In that case, we will continue talking from Nairobi because we do not have funds to facilitate us visit the projects. As that happens, the governor will be smiling for he knows that Sen. Cheruiyot has not been facilitated to discharge his functions at the county. Sen. Cheruiyot needs to speak to the people that he represents in Kericho. He needs to have money to call ... view
• 21 May 2019 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also rise in support of the Statement that has been raised on the Floor by our good friend, Sen. Cherargei. First of all, we must appreciate that when we enacted the Constitution, 2010, it was not in vain. We have a The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 21 May 2019 in Senate: chapter that is dedicated to what we call fundamental human rights - respect for people‘s human rights. view
• 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
