• 12 Feb 2019 in Senate: With those few remarks, Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much, Madam Temporary Speaker. Did you hear the Senator talk about being able to use other parts of his body, other than his legs? Is it in order for him to say so without disclosing those other parts? view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: Thank you very much Madam Temporary Speaker. I want to depart from the position of my colleagues and from the outset say that Sen. George Khaniri has been a friend of mine and continues to be a friend that I hold dear. We have a come a long way with him. We attended the same primary school and also served in Parliament for a considerably long period of time. So, my opposition to this Bill is not personal, but is from a very serious understanding and friendship with Sen. Khaniri. If you have been listening to what fellow Senators have ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: When you go to a county like Machakos, you will find that altercations and standoffs are very rampant when it comes to political issues that are supposed to be sorted out amicably. These things are perpetrated by the leadership that we are trying to give the power to recruit, discipline and enforce laws. We, as a nation, already have problems with the police force. If you talk to human rights agencies, you will find that we already have a problem with the National Police Service (NPS); a body that has had many years of experience; on which the nation has ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: When I look at this Bill, I do not see such horizontal commissions or horizontal safeguards. What I see is the fact that we should recruit people and defining what they are doing. We are even giving them rights, such as to enter premises without search warrants and to arrest people. When you look at the backdrop against which the 2010 Constitution was made, it intended to safeguard our rights as the citizens of this country. I believe that most governors – I am not saying all of them – are people whose heads are filled with power. Most executives ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: One way out is to find a way that the NPS can donate certain enforcement rights or responsibilities to the county governments as we mature through good governance. If you look around the City of Nairobi, you will see the running battles that our hawkers are subjected to. These are people whose only crime is to try and vend or offer something for sale to us. These are people who have not come here, seeking employment from the government, but they are trying to eke a living from the difficult situation that we have, as a nation. However, what do ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: This Bill indicates, as a safeguard, the fact that if there is excessive or wrongful action by one of the compliance officers, you can initiate a complaint against them. I want to state, without fear of contradiction, that I am absolutely sure that if you were to report or complain against any compliance or regulation enforcement officer, nobody will take that complaint seriously. Even in the police force, where there is a proper legal framework, when you complain against a police officer to another police officer, no action is taken. I, therefore, believe that, as a nation, we should first ... view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: if they think that you are challenging their authority. It is the same nation where human rights are abused left, right and centre by law enforcement agencies; that we are trying to imagine that by bringing this piece of legislation, the county operations will be different from what is obtaining in the national context. view
• 28 Nov 2018 in Senate: I want to propose to my very good brother, Sen. Khaniri, that we need to prioritize bringing legislation that will create a regulated environment for how enforcement officers behave in the counties, because they are already in existence. The problem that I hear most of the times is not the absence of officers, but the misuse of their authority when it comes to handling citizens and their property. Therefore, in my view, the legislation that is of priority is one that is going to defend the public – the small trader and small people living in the counties – and ... view
