4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
So, it has come to a time when we must ask ourselves if this relationship that we are creating with our neighbours is really working for this nation. Our Constitution is very clear. It is being violated in numerous ways. External threats are one of those things that our Constitution clearly talks about. We understand that these fishermen are being harassed. This is something that is clearly against our Bill of Rights in terms of arbitrary arrests, unfair confinement and mistreatment of the arrested people. We have rights for arrested persons. So, our Constitution is being violated. Every year, we ...

4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
It is shocking that the same people can allow security forces from a neighbouring country to just walk in and comfortably arrest our people and nobody raises a finger. Yet when we say we are going to receive a leader, we will be broken and subdued. I smell some fear in our security forces which needs to be addressed now. This Motion is not urging any more. I am happy that my leader here says we are resolving as a House. What are these resolutions? It says that we are resolving that the Government exercises its powers to protect Kenyans ...

So, this is what we are resolving as a House and this must be done to the letter. The Committee on Implementation will have no business worrying about this because even the CSs have heard this House.

torched by unruly students and over time have been numerous; concerned that most perpetrators of the dastardly acts of defilement, rape and arson in schools go unpunished due to the difficulty in establishing a nexus between them and the acts and therefore many of the suspects behind the said crimes evade responsibility; cognisant of the duty to protect the dignity, preserve the lives of innocent students and protect school properties from the threat posed by the crime; appreciating the role of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) in enhancing security surveillance; this House urges that the Government speedily rolls out installation ...

My Motion intends to ask this House for support in ensuring that we protect our educational institutions. It is only when we have a vibrant and conducive environment that education of our children and of the nation can actually be enhanced. Parliament must, therefore, use its authority to ensure that it protects education in this country. Our educational institutions, learners and workers in those institutions are under attack. Last night, I watched news in one of the channels and they talked about Ng’iya Girls High School. The girls have just gone home for an indefinite period of time because of ...

4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Just recently, there was a case I mentioned in the Motion about Moi Girls School Nairobi where a girl was raped. Just last year, about 10 girls died in an inferno in the school dormitory. So, this is not a small thing. I have statistics from the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology and the latest they have now is 2016. They draw a very nasty picture about this country on how badly our schools have been burnt, the number of people injured and the number of lives lost. It is incredible. Even the statistics we have from the Ministry ...

4 Jul 2018 in National Assembly:
Power. The Government wants to install power all over the country but there are so many faulty transformers. Not only should we have these installed but they should also be checked to ensure that they are working all the time. That is the second thing we are proposing. Thirdly, we are proposing that we have a profile of the alleged perpetrators of these acts. A register should be kept by the CS so that we can know the people involved in these cases of arson. What happens is that during second cases of arson increase. The reason they escalate is ...
