We have the case of Ms. Kangogo. I honestly do not belief that the girl committed suicide. This is because there has been no evidence whatsoever that she shot those two men they keep talking about. If she did, the police in the country are efficient if they want to. They would have arrested that girl, prosecuted her and the truth would have come out as to who killed the policeman in Nakuru and the businessman in Ruiru. Nobody knows. However, they behaved like General Joseph Goebbels of Hitler where you say a lie so many times that it becomes ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to support this Bill and thank Sen. Were for this foresight in trying to make devolution work better. The Bill is short in content, but deep in the consequence of its legislation. Today, we have a centralized, tightly controlled and almost draconian office of the Government printer that sometimes is under heavy manipulation by certain forces to print what they want and put aside what they wish. In setting up this office, the most critical clauses in the Bill are 5, 6, 7 and 8. They clearly sets up how the office will function and ...

manpower development and transfer so that we do not have mediocre characters being put in the office to roll out Kenya gazette, whichever edition, which is full of mistakes and does not have clear messages. This is because every gazette notice has a consequence in law. In so doing, it will be good for the National Government Printer, as we devolve this office, to liaise with each county in assisting the startup and set up of the county printer. As my colleague from Makueni has said, we should also encourage each office of the Government printer in the county to ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is important. If you listen to what happens between the counties and the national Government printer, they are literally held at ransom. A Speaker of an assembly who sends material for printing finds himself frustrated because the governor will place a call to the government printer and say ‘do not print that’. Probably the Speaker is calling for a special sitting whose consequence is to affect the governor who does not want it. He sets out to manipulate the office of the Government printer and the work of the assemblies is frustrated.
