• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not sure of the formal request, but I know it is fairly automatic that the community is in need and the Government can revert the schools to them. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. On 3rd August, 2011, I sought a Ministerial Statement from the Minister for Information and Communications regarding some Safaricom dealers whose contracts were irregularly cancelled by Safaricom. The Minister had promised to deliver the Statement on 25th August, 2011. It is now three months since then. view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sought the Statement on 3rd August and it was due on 25th . But the Minister never did--- view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I sought the Statement on 3rd August, 2011 and the Minister should have given the Statement by 25th August. But he has not done that since then. Could you instruct him to give the Statement because those dealers are anxiously waiting to know their fate? view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to second this very important Motion. At the outset, allow me to thank Mr. Chachu Ganya, the Member of Parliament for North Horr for the manner in which he moved this Motion. We participated in the deliberations and I am happy that he is the one who moved it. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very important Motion. Unfortunately, you can see the “very good attention” this House is giving to this Report. The mere fact that “the House is full” is an indication that this ... view
• 12 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because we said that this matter be investigated. The Committee recommends further investigation regarding the prudent use of taxpayers’ money. For us, we did not investigate. This is the information we got. We thought it was too much to spend Kshs16 million on the recruitment of the Managing Director. This was our assessment. If they investigate and establish that taxpayers’ money was lost, then, of course, naturally the law will take effect. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think that we need to run our country better. I think that our Government needs to ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to support this Bill. I feel very passionate when I want to discuss a matter like this, particularly a matter that concerns the police, not because of anything but because of a bad history, bad feelings and in some way deep hatred for the security organs – pathological hatred, in fact - because the security organs which are meant to protect the people torment them. Therefore, there is a reason why this oversight authority is welcome. It is a welcome move. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, in the part of the country I come from, at times when parents want their children to sleep early, and perhaps they wanted to take time to play around, the parents have only to mention the name of the police to force them to go to bed. Instead of the police coming to provide comfort, they are a sign of terror and fear. Children are told: “The police are coming and so you must sleep. I will call the police if you do not sleep”. So, children know what the police are supposed to do. ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for this oversight authority to actually be a very useful tool, as it is expected to be, we must retrain all the police officers. If we do not retrain them and this Board comes into place, you will have complaints every minute, because people are hungry for a place where they can take their problems. Every other second, they will register a complaint because of how the police behave even at the moment, not in the cities but in the countryside, where the focus of the senior officials might not be very evident. So, there ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I agree that they need also to move this headquarters from Nairobi because every other thing that we have established, we have done so in the capital, and it is important maybe to see--- If you do not move it, decentralize it. If you decentralize it, do not have any board to appoint the people who will be in this Oversight Authority. We should give it to the governor and his cabinet, because now we have a new dispensation. The governor is constitutionally mandated. Give the governor an opportunity to appoint experienced people who live in that county, and who ... view
