• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: The issue is when the Chair of PAC is stated in the Standing Orders to come for the Opposition and his Vice-Chair is coming from the Government. That is contradictory. What it means in the interpretation of Standing Orders is that the Chair is an office. It is like the Presidency--- view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: With all due respect, I want to tell you here and now that the feeling I get is that you people are trying to kill parliamentary debate. What is happening is not good for this country. This is not even an issue that needs to be brought up because--- view
• 30 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, just a minute. You sit in the Speaker’s Panel. When you sit on that Chair, you have every power of the Hon. Speaker. So, why would you not want to hear the Hon. Leader of the Minority Party’s view on this Bill? We cannot lead our--- view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Thank you Hon. Speaker, for giving me the opportunity to express my disgust and say that I am not dismayed anymore. What this House needs to address itself to is the mere fact that there is a near collapse in our security system. Hon. Ichung’wah yesterday shared with me what he is saying and it is all over the news. I saw him quarrel with an Officer Commanding Police Station (OCS) about this issue. He went to him demanding information on behalf of his people. What comes to mind is that about four or five days ago, a policeman was ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: Why do the police only protect themselves and what are they protecting? Are the police not supposed to live to the true calling of their duty? Hon.

• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: we have is not working for Kenyans. In my constituency, I have a scenario where an Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) was drinking in a bar and somebody was murdered 200 meters away and he did not respond. That man was taking his child to hospital when he was murdered by common criminals on the road. I complained. I spoke to the I-GP and Mr. Kavuludi. That was one year ago and to date, that OCPD is still there. If you want him, you will find him in a bar. They even transfer other policemen, but that particular one seems ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: This is the situation my friend Hon. Ichung’wah has found himself in. Unfortunately for him, those people have killed one of his own; an educated Kenyan and a lawyer for that matter. How can somebody drive from a court in Mavoko to Nairobi and his car is not detected anywhere. When we were complaining about the death of Jacob Juma, we said it was clinical. We knew what happened. Even when Mr. Ndegwa Muhoro released the tapes, you could see he was selecting a few. The killers of that young lawyer are known. Because of what I saw and followed ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: He was following a case where a police shot and attempted to murder another Kenyan. I am on a point of order and about to finish. This is a scenario where this Parliament has to instruct. Hon. Speaker, you have said you are going to talk to the I-GP and you have the powers. The devil is in the House. The Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security must recommend to this country, going forward, on how we are going to run our security systems. Let us all work together. We have the numbers and time. We are paid to ... view
• 29 Jun 2016 in National Assembly: If you go to the counties, the Administration Police (APs) and regular police have refused to work together. Even if it requires a constitutional amendment, let us do it. In the counties, we have Deputy County Commissioners and Assistant County Commissioners. They cannot enforce security because they do not have police officers. The police do not respond to them. What is the work of an Assistant County Commissioner? I want to speak to the Leader of the Majority Party. Please, convince your side that there are some things in our Constitution that are not CORD issues. They are Kenyan issues. ... view
