• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: If approved, the IG will have to deal with a number of issues. He will need to work with Parliament very closely. As the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, and as assured by the Chair of the Committee, we are ready and willing to sit with the IG as and when he desires, so that we can see how to help his work and that of the NPS in matters legislation and other areas. We want a NPS which is playing core function in the fight against corruption, which the President is currently championing both internally and externally. ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: We want a lot of support, and through the Committee, there is nothing that is going to undermine the work of the IG. Laws are being talked about. Those are normal legislative proposals. However, as the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security, we will not allow those laws pending in this House to pass. This year, we are adding money to the DCI to fight corruption. According to the reports of the Auditor-General, we lose over a trillion each year. This must be successfully undertaken and the money made available to enable His Excellency the President implement the Big ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Road blocks were addressed in the National Police Service Order which we enacted before we went for elections last time. They need to be addressed when Mr. Mutyambai assumes office. The role of the National Police Service Commission (NPSC) and the mandate of the IG in commanding the police need to be harmonised. I believe this is the IG who will see to it. In the Constitution, the NPSC should be recruiting, transferring and promoting. However, by legislation we have brought a bit of confusion in that realm. We want a situation where these matters are dealt with. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Lastly, the matter of police welfare such as allowances has to be looked into keenly by the IG. However, look at the amounts being proposed by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). Can they enable a police officer serving in the cities to rent a house? It is a problem. So, we would like the IG to engage the SRC immediately. If that approach is used, there can be meaningful payment in that regard so that the police officers live decently. We do not want police officers to commit suicide. So, the psycho-social support that Mr. Mutyambai, the nominee spoke ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, time is short but I wish the nominee well if he succeeds to get thee approval from the House and an appointment letter from His Excellency the President. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. We began debate on this Motion last Thursday. I was the last person to be given opportunity to address it. I indicated to the substantive speaker at the time that I would not contribute because I would bring amendments and so, substantive contribution would interfere. On Friday, I took the proposed amendments to the Table Office. Today morning I was told by the Table Office that the amendments would be on the Order Paper. I was even given a copy of the processed amendments and I have them here. I, therefore, proceeded to inform ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: whole weekend processing these amendments and then they are brushed aside and we proceed to debate this matter. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: My thinking is that if my amendments are not here, I will take the hard position of opposing and lobbying my colleagues to reject the whole Report. This is not a good thing, because we can save the Report through the amendments. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg that we do not proceed with this Report before I am allowed to move my amendments, which I proposed within the required time in Parliament. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I beg to move: THAT, the Motion on the Report on the Examination of the Financial Statements for the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission for the year ended 30th June 2017 by PAC be amended by inserting the following expression immediately after the expression “February 27th, 2019” subject to – A. deletion of Recommendation 1 under Chapter 33.0 (Committee Recommendations) on pages 4 and 127 of the Report and substituting therefor the following: “1. Parliament expedites the strengthening of IEBC by reviewing the legal framework and the general policy guidelines while taking into account the recommendations ... view
