• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me this chance. I rise to support the Bill and the establishment of the Scrap Metal Council for many reasons. The issue of vandalism and theft of utility infrastructure is common and affects all of us and as such, this Bill is very important. The Bill criminalizes destruction and removal of scrap metal from government infrastructure; the roads, pipelines, telecommunication, energy equipment and others. As my previous colleagues have said, this is very common and we have seen the destruction on our roads. I hope in the spirit of protecting public interests ... view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: which is also very common. The Bill also creates and devises mechanisms of dispensing and/or exposing excess and unwanted scrap metal--- view
• 15 Jul 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. This Bill devices mechanism of dispensing excess scrap metal from dealers and I hope in the same spirit, mechanisms will be devised of getting rid of scrap metal that has littered our towns and urban areas and have become a big nuisance. Finally, this Bill regulates the industry; it tames unscrupulous traders, through the licensing regime and penalties. Although as the previous speaker has said, I think the Kshs10 million and Kshs20 million penalties for first and second offenders to me is high and, in the Third reading, this amendment is welcome. Otherwise, the ... view
• 19 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, I request the Chairman to make the following clarifications: First, why a whole constituency, Turkana South, which is about 15,000 square kilometers with over 135,000 persons can have only one police station. Let him explain why the hotspots like Kakong’u and Kaputir do not have a police station given the fact that Turkana County loses an average of 60 people per month translating into 720 every year to raids from our neighbours. view
• 4 Jun 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I am surprised that the Chairman’s narration is a list of injuries sustained by police officers. He has not actually addressed the question. I asked why the police used live bullets on unarmed youths, and what action has been taken against the police officer who shot dead one of the youths and injured another. Those questions have not been answered. The only question that the Chairman has answered is the fact that the Government is not compensating the costs that I have highlighted. He also said that the fines ranged between Kshs2,000 and Kshs3,000. The youths were ... view
• 29 Apr 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker. Pursuant to Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security concerning insecurity incidents involving the police and protesting boda boda operators in Lodwar Town, which has resulted in loss of lives and destruction of property. On 23rd April, 2014, boda boda operators in Lodwar Town protested over exorbitant and unaffordable fines ranging from Kshs10,000 to Kshs15,000 for lack of helmets. In dispersing the youths, the police officers used live bullets and in the process, the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), Lodwar, shot dead ... view
