• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, I beg to lay the following Paper on the Table of the Senate, today, 5th August, 2021- The Schedule of Cash Disbursements to County Governments for the Financial Year 2021/2022. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Madam Temporary Speaker, indeed, this is a grave matter. This is what I was trying to ask earlier on that we get back to. I am glad that Sen. Ndwiga, in such unfortunate circumstances, has brought this Statement. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: From the outset, allow me to pass my condolences to the families of Benson Njiru and Emmanuel Mutura for losing their children. In the same county, there is a lady bartender in Musagori Ward who was also arrested, detained for four days and died. I would also like to give condolences to the family. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: It is disheartening. There is a family somewhere that had hope and dreams in their child. That was a first year student. We know what it takes to raise children to that level. By the time one is finishing fourth year, the whole world is ahead of them. When one joins first year, the whole world is ahead of them. It is unfortunate. 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 think we have extended the issue of the curfew for so long that police officers are just having field days in many counties. I have had so many cases in Nairobi. I am even unable to keep up with and raise them in the Senate. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: I think more stern and direct action must be taken because it cannot be that the families kept going to the police station because they knew those boys were arrested but they were not being given a response. They were told they do not know about the arrest. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Even before the committee sits, because the buck must stop somewhere, the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) in charge of that station must be interdicted immediately even before investigations. They should not be holding people in that station. There is no Occurrence Book (OB) but those people were taken by officers under his charge. They must be interdicted immediately. I do not know what we are waiting for. We should not wait until we come back from recess so that we summon the Cabinet Secretary to take action on such a clear matter. The reason there are riots in that county ... view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: Sen. Ndwiga, asking for an overhaul is not enough. Even in worst cases where officers defile children, they are transferred to other stations. Those officers might be brought to Nairobi but I do not want them. I do not think Sen. Orengo wants them in Siaya. They must all be suspended and interdicted before the investigations, so that they are not taken anywhere. view
• 5 Aug 2021 in Senate: On this one, Madam Temporary Speaker, we want quick action. The Committee on National Security, Defence and Foreign Relations where I used to be the Vice Chair and now led by Sen. Outa should meet immediately, even tomorrow, and give an update to the country because the country is waiting to hear from us. We cannot wait for the Senate to come back. If they wish, we will be happy to join them in pursuing justice for those families and many others in the country. view
