Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As my colleagues have mentioned, I also want to pass my condolences to the family of our late brother, Sen. Kajwang. We have lost a leader who was able to cover the gap whenever an issue arose. Yesterday, I remember very vividly at such a time when we were seated here and Sen. Kajwang sat in the Chamber nearly the whole afternoon. He called me after I had just moved my Bill and was very touched because he had been following very closely what is taking place in Baringo County, particularly the operation taking ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to move that the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, (Senate Bill No.29 of 2014) be now read a Second Time.

I want to inform the Senator that the people we are recruiting in the NIS are children of very top people. This has become like the Public Service Commission (PSC). This is now a recruitment bureau which no longer brings people who will add value, but people who will be employed to enjoy the perks that they will be given.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to appreciate the response and answer that has been brought quickly as it was requested yesterday. It looks like the Ministry is taking this matter casually. It is not alleged that shops were burnt down. They were actually burnt. Ever since I asked this question more towns and centres have been destroyed. When the statement says that it is alleged that they were burnt, this is not true. Every eye saw this, including Cabinet Secretary ole Lenku, who was with us that particular day. This part of the answer is not satisfactory. A proper answer ...

Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The clarification was supposed to be so clear by me re-reading it, so that it comes out this way. Many people have attempted to go and report that their property was looted and shops were burnt down. Many things happened, including cows that were bombed. No statement has been taken. Why? The police officers that the answer purports to send them to say: “You are not allowed to come and report.” I want to hear from the Vice Chairperson, give us the direct address where people can go and report because the police are refusing to ...
