• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very sad to hear what the Senate Majority Leader has read to the House. Every Kenyan who cares to listen and see what happens in this country saw the police raiding university halls of residence and lobbing teargas canisters in the students’ rooms. The students ran helter- skelter and many of them were injured. When an event like that happens, the custodian of public security and good is the Government. You do not have to wait for anybody to complain. In fact, in criminal acts of that nature, the complainant is the state and not ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me a second bite to this issue because of the very important nature of what we are talking about. For the Hansard, I want the Senate Majority Leader to note that whatever is to be placed before the Committee should not be exclusively limited to the Statement sought by the Senator for Narok County. It should also investigate how men in dreadlocks have been wearing police uniform and appear to be discharging police duties. This is because in my whole life, I have never seen a police officer in dreadlocks. I also want ... view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the distinguished Senator for Narok county for bringing this matter to the fore. The late Prof. George Saitoti was a man of high integrity. When he was the Minister for Internal Security then, he brought to the Cabinet and proscribed organised criminal gangs including Mombasa Republican Council (MRC) from the coast, Mungiki, Jeshi la Mzee, view
• 30 Nov 2017 in Senate: , Angola-Msumbiji, and may others. These criminal gangs have from time to time mutated into very dangerous operatives. You will remember that Angola-Msumbiji at one time made it impossible for people to sleep in parts of Kakamega and western Kenya. Today, we have an acting Minister for Interior and Coordination of National Government who is in charge of internal security who stands in public in front of cameras and declares himself a member of Chinkororo, a proscribed criminal gang and that is where part of the problem starts. Brutalizing citizens in the name of policing is very dangerous. Children have ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in the last Senate, we had a similar Petition, probably by the same person but I am not sure. That Petition is clearly incompetent, contrary to law and unconstitutional. Cannabis sativa, commonly called marijuana, bangi and so on, is prohibited by the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act. When the world is moving away from cigarette smoking, how can the Senate of the Republic of Kenya entertain a matter to legalise smoking of cannabis sativa ? That Petition should not have any day before any Committee of this House. It is contrary to public morality, public policy ... view
• 29 Nov 2017 in Senate: . How can this Senate entertain such an incompetent Petition? I urge you, with the assistance of the clerks-at-the-Table, to find a suitable Standing Order to reject that Petition and not subject any Committee of this House in looking at matters that offend public morals, public good and public law. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Thank you for the courtesy, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you said you were going to give direction on the issue raised by the distinguished Senator for Murang’a. Ordinarily, we do not debate such issues when they are raised. However, the law enjoins us to raise matters of competence and relevance when matters come to the floor. If we will entertain any objections then you can allow us to move the Chair to disallow the request on grounds of incompetence and a violation of our Standing Orders. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have tremendous respect for the Chair generally and this Chair in particular. I was not in any way questioning the capacity or ability or indeed the resolve of the Chair to give us direction. However, ordinarily, even when the Chair has made up its mind and knows the law, it listens to its Members. view
• 9 Nov 2017 in Senate: On a point of order--- view
