Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I stand to support the Election Laws (Amendment) Bill (Senate Bills No.33 of 2018). I support the Bill simply because it will ensure that the documents containing election returns are signed by the candidates or their representatives.

I am one of the Senators who fight for justice of every Kenyan, and I congratulate Sen. Olekina for coming up with this amendment Bill. In order for us to have a free and fair elections, we have no option but to amend, especially the election laws. If signing the forms will save the Kenya we are in today, then so be it.

As we all know, Kenya is a dynamic country with very creative and innovative people. We also have those who are good at destroying things and breaking the bridges built. With such types of people and other different characters in our society, we must have laws in place and which should be well protected.

We have experts who can interfere with any system and do anything to cause confusion, but the rest of Kenyans will just pretend not to be aware of what is happening. I am not accusing the other side of the House as my colleagues have done. We are all sinners because we have, in one way or another, participated in the mess that we are in. Many of us have been in leadership positions, but we have never protected the laws that God put in our hands. Therefore, we need to protect the laws that we put in place. We ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, Kenya has everything in place. We have all the necessary laws. In fact, the other day I was with somebody who said that our Constitution is one of the best. However, just because of the minds of people that I have described, we keep on destroying the good that we have in place. We have laws, policies and good strategic plans in place, which never see the light of the day because we are not committed, as a nation, to any transformation. As a nation, we need total transformation at every level. What happens at the ...

Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, for allowing me to add my voice to this very important nomination of Mr. Mutyambai. Much has been said by hon. Senators. However, I would like to add to what they have said. We are discussing a very important office. We all know the history of police service in Kenya. Currently, Kenyans have no faith in what policemen and women do. That is why we have a very poor working relationship between the police and the public. Many people have no faith in the police and cannot go to the police station because of ...

They suffer a lot as they serve us, therefore, unless our Government gives them good support, there is no way we can expect good service from them. My piece of advice to Mr. Mutyambai is that once he gets to office, he should give special attention to the police officers. For example, they should be provided with good housing, a salary that can support their families and also moral support. Many a times, we have heard of some officers who have ended up shooting family members and themselves. This shows the high level of desperation, depression and a lot of ...

I will, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. There has been a lot of political interference in the police force. My advice to Mr. Mutyambai is that we should avoid that in the national and county levels. I have witnessed a situation where political leaders influence the action of police officers. Another practice that is well known is that the northern part of Kenya and other parts of this country have been receiving officers who are under disciplinary action. All Kenyans deserve equal service. Therefore, the same should apply to the people living in northern Kenya and other parts of Kenya. Let ...
