• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: and so on. That is why the Minister has left a leeway. If you just target view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: and these other fellows, then they are going to use other names. They will keep on changing names. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Bill also says that:- “A fine not exceeding Kshs1 million or imprisonment for a term not exceeding 14 years or both---“ The Attorney-General will have the powers to order a forced search for these criminals or their assets. I will give one other example. G4S and some commercial banks have been hit by massive in-house fraud. That is organized crime. You remember the last two weeks we arrested some G4S employees and I know that after finishing their jail terms, they will be view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: left free to enjoy that particular money. About Kshs100 million is being stolen every now and again. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was a time taxis were brought into this country through Somaia. Later Somaia was arrested and jailed in-house just for two years after which he was set free to enjoy what he had looted. This Bill now targets the “Somaias” of this world so that they will never enjoy what they have looted. Hon. Musila said that the police will not be able to enforce this new law. I beg to differ. The issue of police not enforcing any kind of Act is not because they are compromised. The police are getting demoralized because ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: You are aware that kidnappers cannot get anywhere these days. It is simply because we have acquired new technological equipment to trace them.

• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have lost innocent lives, including those of academicians. We have lost professors as a result of mishandling of firearms by criminals. So, we are saying that once this Bill is passed, if you are found with a firearm view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: without a firearms licence, you will be taken to prison for life. You will have to explain what you were doing with that firearm. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: I would request my colleagues that as we debate the Finance Bill, 2010, they should consider seriously the issue of funding the Police Force. I would not want us to just condemn the police. We should not condemn them because they are not third class citizens of this country. They are also human beings. If we do not fund them properly, what would you expect a policeman to do? Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would like to request Treasury to ensure that any anomalies detected in the Printed Estimates are corrected forthwith in order for us to be able ... view
