• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I know that he is lobbying but he should do so quietly. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: I was talking about housing for police officers. These are some of the things that the SRC needs to look into. As leaders in this country, all hon. Members have constituents who are police officers. We all know the kind of houses they live in. When it comes to accommodation, there is no difference between married and unmarried officers in the National Police Service. Therefore, let us pass this nominee for the Police Service Commission (PSC). One of the most important things that they should look at as the SRC, is giving police officers better conditions of living. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, another area that needs to be looked into is that of medical attention. This House should know that when police officers get injured while on duty, they depend on the goodwill of their colleagues, through their saccos, to raise funds for treatment. There is no insurance for police officers. We should, therefore, approve this nominee, so that he can present the issue of police welfare in the SRC. At this juncture, I would like to urge the SRC to look into ways of creating an insurance scheme for police officers or provide funds for construction of a ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, there is no provision for compensation for loss of life to the next of kin of police officers who lose their lives in the line of duty, trying to defend this country. Almost every day, we have burials of police officers who lose their lives in the line of duty. We have no compensation scheme for their next of kin. Since the hon. Members of this House represent the constituency called the “National Police Service” they always seek Statements on what the Government is doing to compensate the families of police officers who lose their lives in ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: of life to the next of kin of officers who die in the course of performing their duties. That way, the morale of police officers will be uplifted and they will continue to serve this country better. So, I urge this House to approve this Motion. Hon. Deputy Speaker, if I may repeat what the Chairman said about this nominee being investigated, this House previously approved the nomination of persons who were under investigation. It has been resolved that being under investigation is no reason for one to be denied a job. Once investigations reveal that one has a case ... view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Deputy Speaker. The point is very clear here. The precedent has always been that the investigation cannot stop you from being in office. Let us be tolerant. view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, it is wrong for the Members not to be tolerant. You have to listen. Even when you were on the Floor and maybe you were giving misleading information, we were tolerant and we listened to you. Once you are being investigated, you continue with your job. We have seen Permanent Secretaries and Ministers and once they are charged, they step aside. If the ruling is that you have no case to answer, you go back to your job. So, even if we approve this nominee--- view
• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, even if we approve this nominee, he will not stop any investigations from going on. How many Members of Parliament are being investigated now? Why have you not resigned from your position? You are being The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

• 2 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: investigated, we know. Yesterday, somebody said here that he is going to Kisumu for a court hearing. Why has he not stepped aside? He will not step aside until a ruling is made. So, please, just make your contribution and if you are opposing the Motion, oppose it, but do not try to block it. view
• 1 Oct 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. I rise to support this Motion. From the outset, I want to take full responsibility on the list of Jubilee. I am ready to answer any queries. That is one message I want to send across. I am saying this because this list has been long overdue. Every time, we are taken back by one side of the coalition by not being ready today and tomorrow it is the other side which is not ready. This list should have been approved by the House before we went for the long recess. This was the time ... view
