• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: 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
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: This has unfortunately gone on even long after the death of Robert Shaw. It is not Robert, but Patrick Shaw. Robert Shaw is a columnist in the newspapers. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when the current Inspector General (IG) came to our Joint Committee with the National Assembly for vetting, I asked him a question about extrajudicial killings. He said, in his words: “That is going to be history. I am going to deal with it firmly and you will never hear of it anymore.” We are, in fact, hearing of it now more than ever before; young people are tormented ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: . That was part of the police. We have removed ‘force’ and we are now a service; Utumishi kwa Wote, and not Ukatili kwa wote. If you go to Majengo and other places that the Senator for Kiambu County and the Chairperson have been counting, you will meet horror stories. Mothers there would tell you how their sons were taken away and castrated, or how their sons were taken away and never seen again. One mother in Majengo told me, “I have two sons, and they have both been castrated by the police. Now they are just there like the ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, the distinguished Senator is still on a learning curve. When you quote something and explain what it means, our Standing Orders allow that. I said that the Baganda have a saying that, “Ekima etesela kwa kibila;” meaning that a monkey cannot investigate the matters of the forest. That is perfectly in order under our Standing Orders. Let me go on. 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
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: The IPOA was meant to oversight the police to look at these transgressions, but they have been unable to function. We have the Office of the Ombudsman headed by a former Member of Parliament (MP) called Hon. Kajuju. It is also unable to function. These are constitutional offices with budgets that are supposed to be doing some important work. The Office of the Ombudsman is run by lawyers, but I do not see any cases going to court on the harrowing situations that Sen. Wamatangi and the Chairperson have been describing. Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I encourage the Chairperson of ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, when we highlight the late Tom Mboya, G.M. Kariuki, Pio Gama Pinto and Dr. Robert Ouko, they are people in our brackets. What about the ordinary man or boy in the streets whose name nobody remembers? Every time a child is missing and the parent is frantically looking for them everywhere, they receive a phone call telling them to try the mortuary, and the truth is that they will find their son’s body there. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: The law is clear. If there is a menacing criminal, the police are legally allowed to use a firearm to disarm and disable, but not to kill. The Chairperson will have to ask the Inspector-General of Police to give him a catalogue of how many suspected criminals have been shot to disarm and disable. Police cannot possibly shoot a person to disarm and disable by aiming at the head or heart. That is not disarming and disabling. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, this country has made major strides in human development. Our only setback is non-observance of human rights, non-respect to human rights and non-respect for the freedom of people. Therefore, I urge the Government to change this trajectory. view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: You hear what happens to young Muslim boys in Mombasa or in Northern Kenya, where a child leaves to buy something and they never see him or her again. Today, we keep on seeing in the newspapers that Tsavo National Park is now a dumping ground for bodies, including that of Mr. Yebei who was abducted in Turbo and his body found in Tsavo National Park. To date, nobody tells or explains to us who killed him or how he left Turbo to be found in Tsavo National Park. We have other forests, for example, Boni Forest, which has a ... view
• 5 Mar 2020 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, we must change. This House, as a defender of counties and the dignity of human beings of this country, must turn up together as one. When I hear the Senator for Kiambu County talk the way he did, while knowing his record of blindly defending the Jubilee regime in this House, I know things are not well. view
