• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Speaker. There is an issue I want to raise as we debate this Bill. We do not have your report I have tried to look for it to enable me make contribution on what you came up with, but I cannot see it. Hon. Speaker, I would like you to give us direction on how we can debate this when we do not have what the committee came up with for us to understand and contribute positively. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, I want to wish you and the entire House a happy new year. I hope that we will debate soberly and reflect on all our discussions so that we can be fair to the country. As I stand here, I want to oppose the Motion. I want to commend the Committee for doing a very good job. When you read the discussions and the deliberations of the Committee and the recommendations that they have come up with, they do not tally. I have gone through the Report and I am also going through ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I want to bring out specific and detailed sections. Fortunately, the Members did a good job. It is from the Report that they have done that I am trying to bring up. For example, there is this amendment where the police should use force. We know it very well that if we allow the police to use force, there is the liberty of human brings to protection. The Committee says that force should be used on somebody who is escaping from prison and yet, the Constitution protects the sanctity of human life. Article 26 clearly protects the sanctity of human ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, when hon. (??) was contributing, he gave a very clear history, which is --- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: It is not personal. It is the whole office. That is how it is behaving with the powers that are in that office. That is the point I am raising here. But more importantly and more fundamental, we want to bring in the Cabinet Secretary. The Constitution of Kenya is very clear that the Cabinet Secretary is not required at all. The Commissioner has been given unvetted authority to run the Police Force. So, what effect, advantage or help will the Cabinet Secretary bring except to interfere with the office? view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The further amendment. Then I agree with you. That is why I had said that I wanted this earlier. Thank you for making that clear to me. Another issue--- view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, let us support and I will urge the Chair to go back and come up with clear amendments, which do not give one human being a lot of powers. You know, power corrupts absolutely. This has happened before. Do not take us back from where we came from. This has been the problem when you give one centre such powers like you want to give the I-G. This country will be in chaos. Even the Kriegler Report clearly states that we should not do that. That is why we have the new Constitution. Let us have ... view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: On a point of order, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want the hon. Member to check the minutes of 24th September, 2013. Under Minute 98,/2013 they resolved at the meeting--- I will go through it. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to confirm that what I said is based on the Report. In the Report they did, they have said that, that Section should be deleted because they do not want the police to use force. That is consistent in all the meetings they held. When we go--- view
• 3 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Speaker, Sir. Pursuant to Standing Order No. 44(2)(c) I wish to request a Statement from the Chairperson, Departmental Committee on Finance, Planning and Trade regarding the instances of food insufficiency in various parts of the country. Some areas in the country are facing starvation and lack food, especially due to inadequate rains. As such, there is need to ensure that the citizens in these areas are provided for because there is risk of losing life. In his Statement, the Chairperson should inquire into and report on; how many districts countrywide are susceptible to food insufficiency, the mechanisms ... view
