• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: are their customers. Their slogan is “Utumishi kwa wote.” This should be shown in how they reach out to the ordinary people and their customer. They should be good in public relations. The little resources they have should be focused on fighting serious crime. At times we feel that the police officers focus is misplaced because instead of addressing serious crimes like muggings, stock theft and burglary you will find them using meagre resources to raid local brewers. In terms of the risk and danger involved, resources should not be spent that way. The electronic version of the Official Hansard ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: We have had cases of police officers misusing their offices and arms. I had two very unfortunate cases towards the end of last year in my constituency. Innocent wananchi, one being a school girl was shot by a trigger-happy police officer. A boda boda rider was also killed under very unclear circumstances after a minor argument with a police officer who lost his temper and shot him at point blank. I think their training should be carried out in a way that enables them to use their arms well and not harass or kill innocent wananchi . Hon. Deputy Speaker, ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: As part of improving police officers‟ terms and conditions of service, we should find a way of encouraging their career development and growth by providing opportunities for advancement and promotions. You will find many of them approaching us and complaining of overstaying in one grade for too long or about promotions not being given on merit but on other considerations. We have also been trying to use our little National Government Constituencies Development Fund (NG-CDF) to improve the Administration Police (AP) lines and we shall continue to do so. view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I rise to also support this Bill. As already pointed out, it is a fairly straightforward and short Bill. I realize and appreciate the fact that these proposals have been brought as a follow-up to the Budget that was read here some time back, to be able to align and update where necessary, for purposes of easier implementation. Hon. Speaker, we all know that insurance plays an important role in the economy of any country. Therefore, these are provisions that will enhance the smooth running, efficiency and The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is ... view
• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: effectiveness of insurance services in this country. We support that although, generally speaking, the area of insurance is not an area that is very well understood by majority of Kenyans; other than, perhaps, the motor vehicle insurance. This is common and, perhaps, it is known much more because it is compulsory. Other areas of insurance are rather not well known. It is therefore an area that calls for a lot of education and I appreciate that.
