• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, I rise on a point of order to support what Sen. Sakaja said. When there is a substantive issue like the pros and cos of this Petition, the issue of relevance is very important. We are not some village baraza where you can just arrive and start talking things that come to your head without thinking through them. We are a House of record, and the rule of relevance applies. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only.A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: I would have thought that Sen. Murkomen would remind the House the position he took when this House was discussing the Security Laws (Amendment) Bill. The position he took is what is making it possible for the police to do the kind of things that are being done now. You will remember that we went to court to challenge the Security Laws (Amendment) Bill, which he supported. If this law is affecting him now, he should not blame others for it.

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: If he wants us to talk about principles, he can bring that debate here. We have things to say about his principles.

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, this matter is so grave. Under the new Constitution, security forces include the National Police Service (NPS). I hope they read Articles 238 and 240 that require security forces to comply with the rule of law and more importantly the Bill of Rights. That means that even if somebody has committed a crime, which can only be confirmed by a court of law, you are not allowed to treat a human being in such a way that harms or kills. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: On a matter like this, the Cabinet Secretary in charge of internal security should have said something about it. The Cabinet Secretary should have issued a statement before this matter was brought to the Senate. When Floyd was killed in the United States of America (USA), the President and every person of goodwill spoke against the action of the police.

• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Sometime ago, I said our police force can bring the government down by their behavior. You can see what is happening in Embu County. People in Embu County may not have a problem with the Government or the President. However, once such things view
