• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: who has been living in Nairobi to Northern Kenya or a place like Turkana, he or she is killed. We need to motivate officers who have decided to go and serve Kenyans in such areas. That is why they leave the Police Force and join Al Shabaab because they get paid well. They go there and become suicide bombers. So, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we are all protected by the police, even us Members of Parliament. If we do not provide incentives to our own bodyguards, they might turn to be our enemies. I am talking about our bodyguards, but ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: could easily attack and take the guns. We are telling the Government to secure its weapons before it secures the police officers. Why does the Commission employ professional Kenyans if it does not have enough money? The reason why we go to school is so that we can acquire skills and improve on our careers. Those officers with degrees and have decided to join the Police Force are not desperate. In the Police Force, we need people who are informed. For someone to write a statement for an MP, they have to be informed. He or she must have papers. ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: So, I urge the Executive to stop corruption. It is better we secure funds and ensure we pay police officers enough salary and provide them with adequate housing, uniform, water and electricity. This is because they are human beings. Before they protect other Kenyans, let them be protected, motivated and empowered. If we do not empower them, how will they serve other Kenyans? They are the implementers of our law and so, they bring order. If they themselves do not have order, how will they bring order in the nation? If they do not have enough salary, housing or uniform, ... view

• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion. I also want to support what my able Chairman, Hon. Wario has said. I trust him so much and that is the reason I support the nominee. I have a lot of confidence in the Departmental Committee on Labour and Social Welfare and especially when our able… view
• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: I have been looking keenly at this list and I want to thank the President for observing regional balance. Looking at the names from the first Motion, you realize that these are people from different counties and they are not the usual names which people always criticise. We have very good people from different counties, starting from Prof. Hamadi, Dr. Julius Muia and Nelson Marwa and on gender we have Mrs. Safina Kwekwe Tsungu. I am also preempting the others whose names will be here shortly, that is, Mr. Peter Kiplagat and Mr. Charles Hinga. I think the President made ... view

• 28 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Those we have approved their appointments, we expect them to respect Kenyans and Parliament as an institution. They should not go there and fight Parliament yet we are their employer. view
• 27 Feb 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, thank you for this opportunity. I stand to support this Bill. It is very fundamental especially in the areas where we come from. I want to thank the able Chair of the Departmental Committee for Transport, Public Works and Housing. You have really shown competence. This is because people have been thinking that you are only informed about the issue of security. However, you have now proven to Kenyans that you can also be in charge of roads. We have made very fundamental laws in this House but it becomes a problem to enforce them. One ... view
