• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the outset, I also want to join others in thanking the police for what they have been doing, and the security that they have continued to maintain in this country under very strenuous conditions. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I also wish to thank the Assistant Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial and Internal Security, Mr Ojode, for coming to the defence of the police, even at times when such a defence is very difficult. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, going directly into the Bill, the debate that has been in the public domain as to whether we want to retain the Administration Police (AP) or not has been put to rest by this Bill. Clearly, we will benefit from the experience that has been generated over a period by the presence of the APs in our country. This again reflects the wishes of Kenyans, who by and large, mentioned that they had seen the need for the APs. The good thing is that both the forces will fall under one command; we have recognized ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, clause 28 talks about appointment. I want to say that I come from Nyandarua County. I will be happy to see the appointments that have been going on in the country--- At least one should come from my County, and at least from an area that is near me, not because of anything else, but because I believe that even in my area we have men and women who are competent and qualified to serve in all the positions that have been advertised. I fear that this trend could easily apply even to the young ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Clauses 82 to 86 need to be read together with Clause 93; they allow the police officers to have an association. This will give them room to air their grievances; their grievances must be heard, respected and responded to. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: It is good to read it with Clause 93 which by and large, takes care of the fact that we could end up with a Police Force that is composed of activists. To some extent, Clause 93 seems to limit the presence of activists or the activities of activists within the Police Force. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is important to also recognize the work that has been done by the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security and the Minister for Justice, National Cohesion and Constitutional Affairs and his team because we now have provisions that clearly deal with police uniforms. We will not confuse security guards with police officers because of the uniforms that they have continued to use. They have confused the public as to who is a police officer as opposed to security guards but also with the qualification that uniforms can be used for artistic ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Again, the recognition of community policing and providing for it within the Bill is something for which we must commend the Minister and those who drafted this Bill. Community policing has helped a lot in this country. I join others who are saying that it is important that they also be considered for some form of allowances because the work they do is very crucial and has helped to reduce the incidences of violence and crime in the areas that we represent. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, with regard to the issue of torture, many Members who have spoken before me have talked about it. It is telling to see that torture or cruel treatment to those who the police come across has been prohibited. It is important to pay attention to the provision that there is no way that you can qualify any amount or extent of torture, but I am happy to read it together with Clause 103 because we may want to say that we do not want people to be tortured, but it is important that we also ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have finally caught your eye and I thank you. I doubt whether there would ever be any person that we will put in the office of the director to deal with issues of corruption who will ever perform. We have tried three and we are all here crying. I think we have to change the style. If you have a director or a person who is charged with this responsibility and cannot be able to arrest a person who is going to bribe him with a Kshs100,000 in his office, how do you expect ... view
