• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: I will give you a very good example so that some of the Members can understand where we are coming from as a Committee. If a police officer in charge of Garissa has made a mistake or is not doing his or her job, do you come to Nairobi to ask for his or her transfer? Hon. Lentoimaga who was my boss when we were in the Provincial Administrators will advise you that you deal with that officer there and then. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As a country, if we were to come to Nairobi and tell somebody to go and transfer an officer because he or she has refused to do his or her job, it will take years for that particular problem to be dealt with. That is why we are saying that the Inspector-General of Police should have powers so that if an issue arises, he will deal with that officer there and then. That is the issue of transfer, discipline and command. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Command is very important in any Police Force. I dare any Member of this Parliament to tell us where on earth we have a situation where a human resource person is in charge of the country security. There is nowhere. It does not happen in the US or anywhere. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The reason why we are giving a human resource person to be in command of security issues in a country is because we, as a country, are reactive. We reacted to the post-election violence and that is why we want to give somebody else powers instead of the police. We are failing to understand that the post-election violence had some underlining factors that made this country to be where it was. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: In fact, the reason why most of the Members, particularly those who were in the Senate and those who were at home--- When they talk about this principal Act, they say that they had not even read it. We just passed it because there was some time limit. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: As a Committee of this House, we are saying that let us cure this problem so that we can move forward as a country. We cannot allow human rights groups or busy-bodies to advise us on how to manage the security of this country. I urge this honourable House not to make a mistake of giving a human resource person who sits in Nairobi or in Nakuru powers to deal with issues of security in this country. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, with regard to the firearm issue, we are saying: “Let us give our officers powers to use their firearms when it is necessary. The law is very clear on when an officer can use a firearm. Nowadays, if you ask an officer to follow somebody who has probably killed somebody, he will say: “I do not have powers.” Is that the country that we want; where people do not do what they are supposed to do? view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: The law is very clear. The officer will only use a firearm where it is necessary. Somebody has just said that somebody can be killed while carrying a gun. Then what is the use of having a gun? If you do not use it, return it to the armory and they will keep it for you. Maybe, we can have rungus if need be. I am saying that because we must give the Inspector-General of Police powers to help this country move forward. view
• 12 Feb 2014 in National Assembly: Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for giving me the time to contribute. view
• 5 Dec 2013 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, I rise to support the proposed amendment because the headquarters of the Media Council does not have to be in Nairobi. We can have it anywhere. Anything can happen. It does not have to be Nairobi. It could be in Mombasa or Kisumu or anywhere else in this country. Let us not place it in one place. view
