• 2 Jun 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I second the Motion. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Cases of violation of human rights by police officers are on the rise. In fact, it is not supposed to be a “Police Force.” We changed it to a “Police Service.” This is something that cannot be taken lightly. As I appreciate and congratulate the Chairperson for the Statement, I am at a loss because the Chairperson is a fellow Member of Parliament. The only thing we want to ask the Chairperson to do on our behalf is to be a little bit harder on the relevant Government organs and agencies. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: When you are told that investigations are on-going, who exactly is conducting those investigations? If the investigations are being carried out by the same police officers who have been suspected of committing the crime, they certainly cannot conduct independent and factual investigations. If it is by IPOA, which seems to be weakening by the day, then I want to ask the Chairperson to report to us the number of cases of violation of human rights by the police that have been reported to IPOA in the last two years. We see such cases every day. How many such cases have ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, we must speak with one voice as a House and send a message to this Ministry; that they have no rights to molest Kenyans. They have the rights to maintain law and order, but they should do so with decorum. We cannot just bully, beat and kill innocent people left, right and centre. There is a case of someone who took his wife to hospital only for him to be killed while returning home. How do you justify that action in a civilized country? So, this is something that we expect the Chairperson to look into. The ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. The Leader of the Majority Party has raised a matter that is fundamental and that goes to the core of democracy in this country. I agree it is really a shock that, that is what transpired in the Senate. If the Hansard has captured the same, then it is a very sad moment. There is no way the people of Homa Bay will have their votes cast by a Senator from Kakamega. That cannot happen. If at all the Senator for Kakamega voted on behalf of the people of Homa Bay, it is unconstitutional, undemocratic ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I still stand by my position. Why? What we are dealing with is not a Bill from the Senate. We are dealing with a report of the Mediation Committee. If the report was to first go to the Senate then come to the National Assembly, then it would be a different story. We would argue that because the process was not followed, then we cannot deal with it. But what we are dealing with is a mediated version of the Bill. So we deal with it and the Senate also deals with it. Hon. Deputy Speaker, thank ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to take this opportunity to thank the Leader of the Majority Party for coming up with this Motion. Kenya, like any other nation in the world, is facing tough times. We all know that managing and controlling this pandemic is not easy. We are working hard, but this is a pandemic and not an epidemic. We are confronted with a number of challenges which we must deal with. There is the health crisis, which we are all aware of. We also have issues of social intervention and humanitarian issues, but above all, ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: roads. We can live without roads as we eat. Right now what Kenyans are concerned about is food to eat. So, we must provide funds for our people to eat. In every constituency, those who live below the poverty line must get Government funding to be able to eat. By the way, the figures are there. If you come to my constituency, you will find that they are numbering about 6,000 households. If you extrapolate that to the whole country, it comes to between 1.8 million and 2 million households. A household averages six people. Feeding these people for four ... view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: No, I have 10 minutes, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 6 May 2020 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I want to raise an issue regarding the Statement as read by the Chair of the Departmental Committee on Health, particularly the third Statement. Hon. Speaker, I noticed that the Leader of the Majority Party and my Whip distracted you a bit. Probably, you did not follow but I am sure you can follow what the Chair has just said through the Hansard . Last week, the Chair gave us statements regarding the expenditure of Kshs1.3 billion from the World Bank. It turns out that the information provided by the Ministry, even if she did not give that ... view
