If you read a little bit about volunteerism and the whole aspect of reservism, you will find that police reserves actually came to being before the paid police as we understand them today. If you consider that we borrowed this concept from the British after their colonization, you will find that long before we had proper police in the 19th Century, the country was served by volunteer police. Originally they were called “Manor police” ... view

(Dr.) Khalwale say severally that the Jubilee Coalition Government has failed and should, therefore, allow somebody to take over the governance of the Republic of Kenya.

• 18 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to propose that an alternative Government that beats its Chairman and its leadership; where the only way they resolve a single problem by kicks and blows is not capable of forming a Government? view

• 13 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is because of the gravity of this situation and the matter at hand that we propose that is not just a question of calling Cabinet Secretary Rotich or his Principal Secretary.

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you very much. From the outset, I rise to support this Motion and the sentiments that have been expressed by the very able Senators who have spoken before me, particularly, the last remarks by Sen. Orengo.

It is sad and concerning that the individuals involved in these entire circus are actually Jubilee operatives who are sabotaging a Jubilee Government. There is no other way of defining the actions that are being taken currently, except through ... view

• 12 Nov 2014 in Senate: A gazette notice was also given on 5th December, 2013 to the same effect. I am not saying that I approve, for any reason, the abuse of people in that region, but I think we should first clarify that there was, indeed, an approval by the National Assembly. view
