• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I rise to give a Statement regarding the police raid on Masjid Musa Mosque in Mombasa County, a statement which was raised by Sen. Hassan Omar whom I do not see here. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, maybe you can give directions because I cannot see Sen. Hassan Omar here but the Statement is ready. view

• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for that wise ruling. When the Acting Speaker is not in the Chair, he is a Senator like any other. The raid did not contravene or violate the rights of the arrested persons as no one was tortured and neither were they restricted from communicating. Those who sustained injuries, whether fatal or otherwise did so as they fought battles with the law enforcement officers during the fracas. Further, the raid was justified and police used proportionate force to the prevailing circumstances as the suspects were armed with AK rifles, knives and ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, although it is reasonably believed that Hemed Salim Hemed was among the suspects arrested at Masjid Musa Mosque, it is also believed that he was among the several suspects who escaped. Although a habeas corpus No.7 of 2014 was filed before the High Court, Mombasa, and the hearing is still on-going, no formal report of a missing person has been filed with the police. However, pursuant to the escape of a number of suspects, an OB entry was made on how some of the suspects escaped from the custody of police officers and ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, for reminding Sen. Hasasn Omar that this House is not a campaign platform. The things he said--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I will take your order, but he has heard it. We will not--- view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Thank you, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. I have listened to the issues that have been raised by Sen. Omar in response to the statement. I did not hear whether there was a single issue that raised the need for clarification. But I just want to say that what we have stated here is factual. The fact that some of the things have not been proven does not mean that the Government should not issue a statement. That is why a statement was required. The only way these statements, some of which we have read here can be ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I want to start with the final question which has been raised by the Senator for Isiolo County. Yes, the Government is aware of the grave problem that our nation is facing especially with regard to radicalization of our young people. We are witnesses of what happened a few months ago in September. We have just been told and we have seen in the Press just last week, how the police were able to prevent a very serious terrorist attack. So, the Government is aware and is taking these matters seriously. I have ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I thank the Senator for Wajir County for his concern. But every Government has its own style of doing things. Maybe, hopefully, future Governments will do things differently. In Jubilee, we believe that national problems, especially those that are longstanding, historical and entrenched, require the participation of everybody, including what the Senator for Wajir is using in a derogatory manner and calling them villagers. These are citizens of our country. They have ideas on how some of these things can be tackled. We believe in that. Going forward, we also want to see ... view
• 20 Mar 2014 in Senate: (Sen. (Prof.) Kindiki): Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I said that some clerics have died; both Muslim and Christian clerics from the coastal region. The question that was raised by Sen. Hassan was very particular about an incident. Maybe you could give us directions because my understanding is that what the last two Senators have requested is, they are trying to seek a different statement on a different issue, which I am happy to provide. I think the consumption of this information can only help our country. view
