• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have always been looking for the time when we are going to get justice for these Kenyans who were killed by police officers. When are we going to get justice for these Kenyans who fell into the murderous hands of those Administration Police officers? This is the right opportunity for us to be able to properly take such complaints to this Authority for their investigation and, of course, the prosecution of the perpetrators of those crimes. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, while this Bill looks as if it is going to limit the functions of this Authority only to the police service, I may wish to point out that there are other armed people in this country. You may wish to know that our Kenya Army is equally armed; you may wish to know that our prisons officers are equally armed. I also come from a district where the forest guards and the so-called Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers are properly armed. If the Minister is the originator of this Bill, he should note that this ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: So, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish that the scope of this Bill is widened, so that it may also cover other armed groups, including the forest guards specifically. I may not have heard any complaints against the army or the KWS, but I have several complaints against the forest guards. In fact, Waziri, whenever we report them to your officers; the police, it looks like the police have no powers over them, because they are also armed. They are another armed sector of the Government. So, they are more or less another police service. So, if we can ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I continue to contribute to this very, very important Bill, I am shocked that your Government has, in the last one month or so, has been complaining of Kenyans dying because of chang’aa and traffic accidents. How many police officers have you prosecuted for the presence of chang’aa in a certain location? How many police officers have you prosecuted for the presence of chang’aa ? If it is illegal for Kenyans to drink chang’aa, the amount of chang’aa drunk in Kenya per month is more than the production by the Kenya Breweries Limited per ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Bill is going to give us an opportunity, so that any time you hand over a bribe of Kshs1,000 to a police officer, you will come to Nairobi and report that today, because you wanted to proceed with your journey, you handed over Kshs1,000 to this police officer in this station. Take action.” That will be the only way we can improve. That will be the only way we can have a first class police service. view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on the composition of the Board, I am really shocked that we are creating so many jobs for you, lawyers, including--- view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I apologize and withdraw, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say, “For you”. I said, “For you, lawyers”. At every opportunity--- view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I have withdrawn. At every opportunity, every Bill that comes to this House, we are just creating a job for a lawyer. When we talk about the Chairman of the Board, we are insisting that he must be in a position to be a judge. The previous speaker has even gone further and said that the Secretary of that Board must be a lawyer. I want to beg that all of us have done suitable courses. Even accountants like myself can serve in these positions which we seem to be creating for only ... view
• 11 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, because it looks like there are so many hon. Members who want to contribute, that is my contribution. Thank you. view
• 7 Sep 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, for giving me this opportunity to contribute to this very important Motion. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I stand here, I want to let hon. Members know that the Budget Committee sat down and identified some areas to reduce expenditure for which to use to finance the recruitment of the 28,000 teachers. However, I am shocked that the same House or hon. Members who are here today came and supported the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance’s decision to reallocate the same amount which the Budget Committee had identified to other ... view
