We need to promote people based on merit and what they are able to do. So, the story of promoting someone or a friend on the basis of how you know him is not a good thing. Before, we used to have a Kisii as a force commander. He was the only one we ever had. He lost his job and we thought we would be given a replacement from the region. We ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: We need to get a way of counseling officers working in the National Police Service (NPS). They work under a very difficult environment.

By deleting the words “inquiry into” after the word “foreign relations” and substituting therefore with the word “status”. I further move to amend the title of the Report; “Report on the Inquiry into the Status, Viability, Efficacy and Implementation of the Kenya-Somalia Border Securitisation Project” and substituting therefore with the new title “Report on the Status of Kenya... view
• 14 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I am talking about the amendment on Motion 13. There is a further amendment on the same which is stating the same thing, but because you can change that without changing the title to read the same message... view
