• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, before I finish, I would like to say that the created perception that there is a problem between the Commission and the IG is one you must kill. This House passed a law to create this Commission only last year and it has no business to begin to blame it now. We wanted a civilian Commission to run the Police Force because this country wanted to inject civilian input in the Police Force and how they are run. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support. The infrastructure sector is one that we need to move fast and set up. I know the issue which was addressed by the engineer who has just spoken about the retirees of Kenya Railways; it must be addressed. Most hon. Members who have been here for a long time know that view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, the people Kenyans fear most are the policemen. That was the logic of a civilian commission and the IG is a member. Instead of talking about a law to chase an individual whose community is already saying that it is marginalized, we should be looking at a way of harmonizing the law so that the two individuals can work together for the sake of the security of this country. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: I support. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I rise to oppose this Procedural Motion. This House is not anybody’s rubber stamp. These are issues of finance. I understand what the Government may be trying to do, but there is no Bill before us. As far as we know we have been sitting here all day. I am told that the Bills have been delivered at the reception, and hon. Members have not had a chance to look at them. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: The reason why you need seven days is for public scrutiny. We have not even looked at the date of publication for this Bill. It may well be that the four days being requested end today or today may be the fourth day. We cannot, as a House, be in the business of being pushed to do things which this very House may later regret, like we almost regretted the passing of the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) money last week. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, I strongly oppose this Procedural Motion and urge the House to read between the lines, so that we have enough time for public scrutiny of this Bill, so that we do not do something wrong. This is for the betterment and good of the Government. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, Sir, now that an explanation has been given, I withdraw my opposition and I support. These people, whenever you give them a chance, explain things, because we are dealing with issues of money. Last week, they almost messed us up and we will watch them with a sharp eye. I support. view
• 25 Jun 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to quickly support the Bill. view
