• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I want to thank the Committee for an excellent job. This Committee led by Koinange has done a brilliant job. I have heard Members raise concerns in the beginning but they set the record straight because the Report handles every issue that is required of the Committee. I also support the appointment of the nominees, but I would like to say that we seem to have a lacuna in our Constitution that we need to deal with. It is the vacuum that seems to recur. Now this is the second commission. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: All the nominees meet the constitutional requirements. The commission as constituted represents the face of Kenya and the gender balance. I want to point out that in my opinion, they failed in the part of people living with disabilities, but more importantly in my case, I think the issue of the youth. As this commission takes up their office, I want to point out that we all believe that a new broom sweeps better. We have seen what the DCI and the DPP are doing and I want to imagine that this commission will take up its roles and ensure ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Many young men who were bread winners for their families were killed. Two of us politicians were also hurt. I have not understood why an innocent politician in his car had to be attacked by a policeman. Police officers threw stones and broke the window of my car. They threw teargas canisters at me. The water bowsers are used to sprinkle very strong acidic water on people. They forced me out of my car, shot at me and broke my limbs. They nearly killed me. I have never come to terms because I do not even think they use that ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: So, as this commission takes up its role, it should figure out how to deal with the issue of anger management in our police service. It will also reduce cases of suicide and murders among themselves because it is not only innocent people that are shot. They also shoot at each other. They should be trained properly so that we are sure that these issues are sorted out. Also, we must improve their welfare. If the welfare of the police is bad, say, if they live in terrible conditions, they are likely to take that out to the general public. ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: with how the police live so that they can reduce anger and brutality. I would also like to understand what will be done for the victims who have been hurt, maimed and killed by police officers. view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I would not like to speak much because my colleagues also want to contribute. I finally want to say that the police service seriously needs public relations so that there can be a way where they can communicate effectively with the public. They need to create a positive relationship and synergy with members of the public. Recently I watched an interview on television of the spokesman of the National Police Service. This gentleman got so angered in an interview and you could see he almost burst a vein on his face. He spoke words that were shocking. So, there is ... view
• 6 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I support. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wanted to also support that Petition by my colleague. On this issue of petitions, I also wish to seek your guidance because it is true that Members present petitions on behalf of petitioners in this House and it is important that committees carry out the mandate for which they are given on matters petitions. I have in mind a petition that I presented in this House, which I have questioned in the past. This is where petitioners were asking for payment from the Government for something that happened very many years ago. They were victims ... view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Chairman. You said that the leadership of the House has spoken. It is now time for ordinary Members to speak. I have just realised that the Office of the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party seems not to be recognised as part of the House leadership. I support the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party. view
• 5 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: I am the Deputy Leader of the Minority Party. view
