• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: I also agree with Members when they say that when it comes to compensation, most young people put their mothers and fathers as the next of kin. I do not think that is a big issue so far. But what is interesting is when I look at the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF). They are better treated than the regular and Administration Police and prison officers. view
• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, we should have across board treatment for every service man in this country. They should be treated equally in terms of medical care, living conditions and social standing. If you were to ask every young person whether he would like to work in the military or in the Police Service, most of them would want to go to the military because their terms are better than the regular policemen. view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: When you look at the Budget that we pass in this House, the money that goes to the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is so much. It perturbs when you realise the same Ministry cannot afford insurance and other bills. I know they are trying to build police quarters but, if we are serious, it is not enough. The President alluded the other day that we have met the international threshold of one policeman to 400 or 500 people. We cannot keep on employing police officers. I know we are even recruiting them now. We cannot keep ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: As we talk of compensation in the National Police Service (Amendment) Bill, how about those policemen who lose their wives in those camps and police lines? It is very easy for a young man to lose his wife because of the conditions they live in. We have seen families sharing one hut. It is not correct morally. We should say that if a policeman loses his wife or husband in such a condition, there must be some funds that are set aside, so that the guy can afford to pay dowry. We cannot just leave it like that. I have ... view

• 10 May 2017 in National Assembly: I will give you an example of the prison warders. Sometimes back, about 10 years ago, prison warders lost their lives around the Utalii area on the Nairobi-Thika Superhighway. It took about 10 years for them to be compensated. When that money came out, we all know what happened. The lawyer who was involved took away that money. Most of the police officers come from humble backgrounds. Therefore, there was nobody to hire another lawyer to follow up on that compensation. There must be a clear way and structure. When a police officer loses his life in his line of ... view
