• 28 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: at zero shillings. With this amendment, somebody can refuse to display the licence for three years and still the maximum fine will be Kshs1 million. Let us leave it to the discretion of judicial authorities to determine how badly the person has committed the offence. I do not agree with this kind of provision. I think this is a wrong way of drafting. I oppose. view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. This amendment is a blanket cheque to the vetting committee that is supposed to issue licences. This will breed corruption. If somebody refuses to play ball, they will cite Clause 30(f). Clause 30(2)(a) to (e) is sufficient to determine that the person being granted the licence is capable of respecting the security interest of Kenya. I do not see what national interest would mean because it is not specified here. Anybody can say that anything means national interest. view

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, once more, I oppose. The reason I oppose is when you say that “the licensee has engaged in acts prejudicial to national security or national interests”, I presume anybody who engages in acts prejudicial to national security should be taken to court and the court should adjudge them to have engaged in that. The other day, we saw Hon. Joho being denied his gun licence. A political matter can be said to be against national interests. If you allow something like this to be a yardstick of determining whether a licence continues in force or it ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I totally agree with Hon. Mwaita. If we are bringing regulation into this sector, it is important that we take this opportunity to improve efficiency, ensure security and limit the rate of crime committed by people who are in this sector. view

• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I am happy that today, the slavery in this sector has come to an end with the passage of this Bill. Lords of slaves have been running this sector exploiting innocent Kenyans. With this Bill, this comes to an end. I am also very happy that this House did not succumb to the temptation to override the Firearms Act through a Private Security Bill. I am very happy that we have kept the Firearms Act The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can ... view
• 26 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: alive and for once, we are going to be able to keep a data bank of all those who work in this sector. view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I support the Petition. Definitely, the biggest problem is not the people who do the illegal connections, but the recipients down the line who have no idea that somebody has connected power illegally. The Government needs to take the necessary action and check this out. There are those who are doing illegal water connections. One would wonder whether that water is safe or it is something that can affect the bigger population in that slum area. This is something which, in my view, needs to be looked at deeply. It is not only in Kibera, but ... view
• 19 Apr 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I am worried about debating this Bill in this House because if we are told that somebody has passed it internationally and we should be ratifying what they are saying then, in essence, we are saying--- view
