• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am talking about the appointment of the IG, which I support. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, from what has been communicated, it is an issue of theory and practice. He has the theory because he has gone to school. He has also practiced. However, it is not just an issue of theory and practice, but also a calling. This is because this is somebody who has a first degree, but voluntarily decided to go to the police force and even started from the lowest cadre. That shows that he has a calling for this service. When one does a job that he has a passion and calling for, he does it with ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: There is also need for him to have a plan, strategy, objective and a road map, so that at the end of the day, people will actually say that his appointment was legitimate and appropriate, and he has lived to his promise. There are a number of issues that he needs to put into consideration. For example, there is the issue of corruption in the police force. I have had a very nasty experience with the police. Sometimes when you are travelling, you are just stopped and told that you are over speeding, when actually you are not. What follows ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: I also come out strongly to support and defend the police officers. Sometimes they are under stress. In as much as they are providing us security; they are the most targeted and very insecure. There is need to do something about it. For example, on the housing issue, at the moment they are paid an allowance to look for housing and the best place they can live in with that amount of money is the slums. When a police officer lives in the slum, he or she is compromised. Their families are at risk. In fact, he or she is ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: home and relax knowing that you have reported to the police and hope that they will solve your issue. Sometimes, a week goes by and nothing happens. It turns to two, three and even a whole year and nothing happens. This is when you give up. I will give an example. I imported my vehicle. As a person with disability, we are vulnerable. I was not able to go to Mombasa. I used an agent. The agent called me and asked for Kshs250,000. I was frustrated. I went to Mtwapa Police Station and reported. I was given contacts of the ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker for giving me an opportunity to support this very important Bill. I commend Sen. (Dr.) Zani for coming up with this credible Bill. From the word go, this Bill will be a win-win situation for everyone, for examples, the exploiters, the national Government, county governments and for the locals. This is the direction we should take. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, if this Bill is implemented, it will ensure that the local content is utilised and that locals are not exploited. We have a duty, as a Senate, to protect the interests of counties and their governments. So, if we pass this Bill, we will have played our role as the Senate in a very powerful way. Madam Temporary Speaker, this Bill naturally calls for public participation in the sense that when natural resources are discovered in an area, the locals will have to talk to the county governments and the national Government. Therefore, there will be public ... view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, as the Senate, we are mandated to support this Bill because it is not a money Bill. At the end of the day, locals and the county governments come in. Our business as the Senate is to support counties and protect their interests. If there are natural resources in counties – as a Senate – we need to move with speed and ensure that we support the benefits that come from that particular county. view
• 26 Mar 2019 in Senate: What I also like about this Bill is the composition of the committee. According to this Bill, even the locals will be involved and be part of the committee. About five people will be selected by the locals to sit in the Board. This means that these locals will ensure that they protect the interests of the counties and ensure money remains in the counties. view
