• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, my friend, Hon. Sankok, is very excited that we have, for the first time, got a nominee who is disabled and he wants to say something in support. So, I donate to him two minutes. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I am ably guided. I thank the Members for the support of six nominees that we have given to serve as ambassadors and high commissioners. They are very qualified as has been alluded to in their CVs and in the contributions from Members. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: I beg to reply. view
• 19 Jun 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I also thank Hon. Osoro for such an innovative idea. Kenyans must come to a point where they do things not just for the police, but for posterity. We do it because it is a good practice. If you look at the practice on our roads, you will find that our children or consumers of transport use security features like safety belt or helmet only because they know there is a policeman ahead. That is not the way to do things. We need to inculcate values in our people’s minds to appreciate that security ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, for the opportunity to support the nomination of Mr. Hilary Nzioki Mutyambai as the next IG of the National Police Service. I want to take this opportunity to congratulate Hon. Boinnet who did a wonderful job in serving Kenyans by ensuring that there is security. Before he came in, it was chaotic. We were being attacked everywhere, but he has stablished the country now. We hope that the incoming IG… view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for the leadership you have given. It is very unfair not to be allowed to debate this critical appointment. The Leader of the Majority Party has said that we are normally accused of rubber stamping and approving appointments of people without necessarily following due process. We now have an opportunity to demonstrate that the person the Government has chosen to be our IG of police is, indeed, qualified for the job. The incoming IG of police is a very lucky man in the sense that he is coming into office at a time when ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: We also have Ms. Obiri who won the world cross country championship over the weekend. Indeed, that is another inspiration. We have Fridah Mokaya, the first black woman to get a PhD in nuclear physics. That happened the other day. This is the best time for Mr. Mutyambai to get into office because he has examples led by the Kisii nation; the best chaps. They are the best in the world. It is the best mood one can ever want as one gets into office. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: I take this opportunity to encourage Mr. Mutyambai that when he gets into office, he should look at the many cases of extrajudicial killings. We have the case of Ragira aka OCS, who was killed about three weeks ago. We buried him on Saturday. This is a young former student of the University of Nairobi who was busy doing his work of protecting the less fortunate in the society. He was killed and yet nobody has been arrested in connection with his death. We hope that when the new IG of police, Mr. Mutyambai, takes office, he will pick up ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Mr. Mutyambai will not be able to do the job alone. Unless he gets a way of encouraging, inspiring or motivating people working under him, he will not succeed. Lately, the traffic police officers have not been displaying their force numbers. If you have a complaint, where on earth will you register it? We need them to display their force numbers on their uniform so that we can pick it whenever we have a complaint or compliment. We should be in a position to quote an officer’s number even as we compliment him or her. We should be able to ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Improvement of housing is key in motivating staff. We are sure that when the incoming IG takes office, he will pick up from where the previous IG, Mr. Boinnet left to inspire or motivate police officers. view
