• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, around the world, a police officer or an officer in uniform, in fact, is often referred to as an officer of peace. So, if you are in Sydney, New York or some other city and you get lost, you approach somebody in uniform who might be able to help you with directions. Here, if you meet a police officer walking towards you, you will probably cross the street. This is what we need to reform; that over time, the citizen has lost trust in the police service, just as they had lost trust in the ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Today, if you have a complaint – and I heard Mr. Orengo talking about having a genuine complaint – there is no place for you to go. So, I absolutely laud Article 87 that establishes the Internal Affairs Department to which, as a citizen, you can complain and they can investigate the Police Service. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Finally, on the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs), I want to go on record supporting it. If you live in Laikipia, Samburu or many parts of this country, then the KPR is an absolute necessity. So, I laud again the inclusion of the KPR and its definition in Part 15, particularly, the provision to retrain existing KPRs so that they can conform to the standards demanded by this Act and also the standard demanded by all of us and by the Constitution of Kenya. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I support this further amendment. view
• 16 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, I think contrary to the assertion that this political parties law is not necessary, it is very necessary. However, I think as we make the law, the law itself must be consistent with the Constitution. This is because any law that we make will of necessity and by operation of the Constitution be invalid to the extent that it purports to contradict the Constitution. So, the proposed amendments must be consistent with the entire Bill. Madam Temporary Deputy Chairlady, for example, the previous amendment that removed the purported limit time and so on was in line ... view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is hon. Nderitu Muriithi, but our constituencies are next to each other. I have three points to make. Let me begin with the whole question of internal democracy in political parties. Most of us agree that some of the confusion of the last general election, in fact, stemmed from the fact that political parties had very little regard to democratic processes. Therefore, I believe that the Minister should consider, in Part II, to have a clause that regulates the conduct of elections within political parties and how political parties go about nominating ... view
• 26 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Deputy Speaker, Sir. I seek guidance from the Chair. Is it really in order for hon. Members to ask the Government to violate the Constitution? You gave instructions a couple of minutes ago that the entering of a nolle prosequi is the province of the Director of Public Prosecutions, which is a constitutional office which shall act under no instructions from any other person. So, to ask the Government to purport to ask the Director of Public Prosecutions to do one thing or another is actually asking the Government to violet the Constitution. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. I quite agree with Mr. Njuguna that with such a prolific debater on the Chair, the debate will be more than adequately carried on. view
