• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady, my good friend, hon. Aden is really following this Bill. It is good that we make clear every step so that we move together. I think the Chairman of the Committee is right because here it is not contravening the Constitution which says that you must be taken to court within 24 hours. You have already been taken to court and there is no information; the family does not know where you are as a child. If you read the amendment, it says, ‘when a child is arrested or detained or deprived of liberty’. The key ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I only have three comments to make. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: First of all, I want to thank hon. Members for the attention they have given to this Bill and the way it has been concluded; in a consensus way. I want to say that this Bill has brought light into rehabilitation programmes that are now going to be in our correctional areas. Two, it has clarified and simplified the complaints and disciplinary procedures that should be followed by people who have been deprived of liberty and their relatives. Finally, it will instill discipline in prisons once it becomes law. I think it is also making it clear that even those ... view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I have ten minutes and with your permission, I would like to donate two minutes each to hon. Serem, hon. Lomenen and hon. Nyaga. However, be strict. They should take only two minutes each and if they exceed, please cut them short. view
• 27 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will try to utilize my four minutes. First, I want to thank all hon. Members who got a chance to contribute to this very important Report. I want to say that the views that hon. Members have given are very important. One, it has become very evident that security is everyone’s responsibility and we should all join hands in fighting insecurity in this country. Two, it has also been captured from the contribution of hon. Members that we need to institutionalise security and keep the security reforms on-going through legislation, policy and institutional ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to second this Motion. First of all, as the Motion says, it is the state of national security in accordance with the Report laid down by the President on the Floor of this House on 27th March this year. I will start by the preamble given by the President in the Report. He says: “Today, the world is facing complex inter-locking security challenges that transcend the national, regional and international environment. Those challenges delay and hinder the full realization of aspirations to attain a state of human security across the world.”The key word ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: In the Report, several ways or solutions have been suggested as ways to mitigate the threats and the Government has enumerated those they have taken into action in terms of national and regional co-operation. I think it is important that this House helps the State or the Executive in realizing those goals. I will just highlight about six reasons for insecurity as contained in the Report Under proliferation of illicit arms, it is really shocking to understand that during the year under review, there were over 500,000 illicit small arms in the country. That may even be more than the ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: culture and norms of communities embracing peace-building and conflict resolution mechanisms. There is also the issue of unemployment. It is said in the Report that 11 million Kenyans are not employed. The 11 million is about 30 per cent and those are all youth. This has worsened or created a pool that is targeted for recruitment towards radicalization, organized crime gangs and other vices. This issue is also a challenge and we must look for ways to deal with it. I know the Government has proposed some ways of improving the economy; even targeting 10 per cent of our GDP ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: existing gaps on the legislation.” There are so many pieces of legislation that have gaps and it is important that, as a House, we try to fix them. We should try to have them normalized for purposes of fighting insecurity. Like the issue of police command, I think it is good that we have tested the current structure, but it is not working. It is time that we separated the Administration Police from the Regular Police. If you look at the Report, the DCs or the sub-county commissioners on Page 13, it says:- “Historically, the Provincial Administration has been pivotal ... view
• 26 Nov 2014 in National Assembly: If you go down, you will see that the officers chair the various security committees. The County Commissioners chair the security committee at the county level. The Sub-county Commissioner chairs the security committee at the district level, but those chairpersons of those security committees do not have security officers under them. You chair as the DC, but there is the commander in charge of the AP and the OCPD in charge of the Regular Police. The DC has the chiefs, who are not operational persons. Previously, the Administration Police were under the Provincial Administration. It is time that as a ... view
