• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: No, not really, Mr. Speaker, Sir. It is just that a colleague is sitting next to where my card is. It could be Sen. Sang. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the Senator for Nyeri County in terms of some of the remedies that are being sought here. Those issues could have been investigated effectively by the county assembly so that in the second instance, this House can have a second look. However, like Sen. (Dr.) Khalwale has said, this House must always dispense justice. We cannot say we are incapable of dealing with certain issues. In my own opinion, ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I have restrained myself for very long. Is it in order for the hon. Member to try to insinuate and conclude that this matter is just a personal attack on the Kalenjin Community? Secondly, is it in order for him to try to cook whatever he calls evidence from fictitious people; products of his fertile imagination and try to mislead this House by trying to say that so-and-so told me when there is no evidence tabled in this House? view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Can the Member substantiate the purported statements that he says he was given by certain police officers? Can he table evidence in this House where he took the interview? Can he substantiate the source and table before this House? This is a House of record. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I like the way Sen. Orengo spoke. As I have always said, I admire him. You know, even if you do not agree with other people, there is a more diplomatic and friendly way of passing a message. He managed to make me laugh even in his opposition of a candidate whom I think is one of the best candidates. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to go straight to Article 245 of the Constitution. The Constitution is very clear that the Inspector-General of Police shall be appointed by the President with the approval of Parliament. That is our Constitution. In fact, it was erroneous in the past that we had to create extra---. This is a direct appointment from the President. When we talk about matters of security, we are basically saying that the buck and ultimate responsibility stops with the Commander-in-Chief. In the past, it was very difficult for him to fire anybody. Article 245 (7) of the Constitution ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Senate Minority Leader has just spoken, is he in order to mislead the House that there was need for involvement of the NPSC in the appointment of the Inspector-General? He is quoting fictitious provisions of law that do not exist. view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not and I never even imagined to appoint the IG until that time. The only thing I told the Senate Minority Leader jokingly was that if he ascends to the presidency, he should remember me as a running mate. That is the only thing I joked about! view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Speaker, Sir, I take this opportunity, first and foremost, to say that I support the Report of the Joint Committee of the two Houses. This was the first time that the two Houses of Parliament carried a joint vetting exercise. We are very happy because we have seen the kind of report that has been presented to us. I, therefore, thank the Committee Members since they are the ones who did the vetting, listened to the candidate and asked the questions where there was need to ask questions. It is in order that we, as colleagues, ... view
• 4 Mar 2015 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thirdly, I want to say that it is hoped that all these functions that are listed in Section 10 of the National Police Service Act are functions that the new Inspector-General of Police, if this House approves, will perform and reassure the people of this country, who have been very concerned about their security, that the country is on the right path to recovery with regard to the damage that has been caused. Mr. Speaker, Sir, one aspect that we would want the new Inspector-General of Police, if approved, to assist this ... view
• 3 Mar 2015 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Is it in order for a Member of a Committee to question the Chairperson instead of assisting him in answering questions? view
