• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I had a situation in Turkana County, where a child was killed by people who thought that he did a bad thing to them. I called the Officer Commanding Station (OCS) to have these people arrested. However, up to today, nothing has been done about it. This is probably because I did not give them something in that particular case. I find that the police only need to be motivated by what you give them, and then they go to work. If you do not give them that motivation, they cannot do anything. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: In Turkana County, they use the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR). These are Turkana youth, but they are used a lot by police to go and arrest women who are brewing view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: and people who have committed different crimes. I feel that this is unfair, because these police reservists are not paid, unlike the police. In Turkana County, the reservists are used to do the work of policemen a lot, while the actual policemen spend their time collecting a little money here and there from the wananchi . view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, because of this, I hope that the new IG will change – and this is a function of training – what Kenyans feel about the police. The police should be trained to be more responsive to wananchi, treat them with respect and do the work for which they are employed. I understand that the police are not treated well – they do not The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: have good homes, their salaries are not so much, and so on, and so forth – all the same, you must do the work for which you are employed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, teachers do not get much money, but when I was a teacher, I went to the classroom every day to teach people and some of them are big men in Kenya today. I did not sit there and say “give me some incentives so that I can go to class”. I went to class every day, because that was my calling. I had to be a teacher; ... view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: , and then go home to feed their families. view
• 2 Apr 2019 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I know that Kenyans would like to have an IG. As much as I do not know Mr. Hillary Nzioki, I will not stand in the way of Kenya having an IG. I am, therefore, supporting this Motion. I will vote for Mr. Nzioki to be the IG. However, as I said, I hope that he will not be partial. I hope that when I call him, he will respond and do something about the worsening security situation in Turkana County. view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me the chance to also contribute and to support this report. Madam Temporary Speaker, we need to have a prototype within the establishment of these counties such that every county has a certain structure on which they base the buildings that they build for the assemblies and the governor. This should be such that when you look at a structure, you can tell, for sure, that that is the governor’s office or the county assembly for that particular county. This is important because of what my fellow Senators have already given. This includes, ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: governor who has an office that is larger than that of the governor. Such ridiculous dimensions do not make that deputy governor better than his governor or anybody else. We should have limits as to how much money can be spent in constructing these buildings. Sen. (Prof.) Kamar has said that the amount of money to be spent on these structures is not the same in all the counties because the building materials could be cheaper in one county than in the other. Therefore, there should be a certain limit. One can say that; ‘you can only spend so much.’ ... view
• 28 Mar 2019 in Senate: I am wearing a suit but it may not be suited for the climate in Kenya. It is probably something that I should be wearing in some cold place. Therefore, when building in a County like Turkana, which is very hot at about 40 degrees celsius, the building should take into account the temperature in those particular counties even though we may have a standard. It would be good to consider that Turkana is hot hence the design of the structure should be a model that can keep the place cool for the comfort of those inside. Otherwise, some of ... view
