• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: I stand guided, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I sought a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Security. It has been ready for the last ten days. I have been given the answers. It was not on the Order Paper. Kindly, allow him to respond. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I most sincerely wish to thank the Chairman for the response. However, I am not satisfied with the answers.First of all, for the Chairperson to say that the Government is not aware that these things have been happening and police have been harassing people is not true. This is because already, there is a response confirming, in fact, that arrests have taken place. Secondly, on 16th December, the people who were arrested were arrested at the police station where they had gone to present a notification of the civic education to the police. They were not arrested ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me conclude. If you look at these answers here, the issue is just the distance that the people had to walk from their areas to Machakos, to present their petitions and complaints to the Governor.That is why they are being arrested. Why can they not be allowed to see the Governor that they elected? Stopping them is curtailing their democratic rights and they deserve it like any other Kenyan. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see even from the Chairman himself that he is not persuaded from the answers he is giving. Can the Chair go back and bring a substantive report based on the issues which were raised in this statement? This is because we are not convinced. Secondly, can he also tell the House when he is bringing the report if not now, in the next response that he is bringing when these motorcycles are going to be released to the owners? This is because they had taken them to the police station and they are not being ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the motorcycles which are kept at the police station are not two; they are nine. From 27th February, 2016, the motorcycles are lying at the police station. The police have never charged anyone. What other clear evidence does the Chair need to be given to demonstrate that the police are asking for bribes? Why have they not taken the owners of the motorcycles to court? view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I am not satisfied with the answers that were brought by the Chair. I request the Speaker to order the Chair to bring a satisfactory Statement. He never responded to any of the points that were raised. He says in his Statement that notification had been issued to the police, but still the citizens of Machakos County were arrested. I also raised the issue of the motorbikes that are still lying at the police station and nobody has been charged. This issue cannot be left hanging; we have to get the right ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: On 1st March 2016, I sought a Statement from the Chairperson of the Committee on Land and Natural Resources and he undertook to deliver it in two weeks time. After three weeks, I raised the issue again and a promise was given that it would be responded to in a week’s time. This is the fourth week and I do not have a written response or answer from the Chairperson of the Committee. I wish to know the status of that Statement. view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the communication came much later after the Chair had given a ruling that the Statement should be delivered. The consultation was on why the Statement has delayed. This is a serious issue because the Chairman of the NLC has advertised to give free land which belongs to Machakos people, to whoever wants it. This was advertised in the newspapers and it is in the public domain. This matter is urgent and if it is not dealt with, at the end of the day, we could be chasing the wind. Any delay in dealing with this matter will ... view
• 29 Mar 2016 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to inform the Chairman that the advert was done on 16th December, 2015. It is now four months down the line and we need quick action. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes view
