• 22 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true that this has touched me because I have recently joined that group of people living with disabilities, though mine is temporary. People who have never gone through this do not understand the kind of problems that people with disabilities go through. With a very progressive Constitution like ours, it makes a lot of sense for us to support this Petition and ensure that the people that have this problem of hearing are sorted out. I just wanted to say to the Leader of the Majority Party that nowadays, there is better language that ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I request that in future, considering that I am still injured, when I sit for a long time my foot gets swollen, the Speaker’s office to be giving me an opportunity to make my contribution after the Leader of the Majority Party and the Leader of the Minority Party, then I leave. I have a unique problem. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I confess that, as we talk about the Motion, I am a victim of police brutality. I support adequately and completely the proposed amendment to the Motion. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: First, I thank Hon. Omar Mohamed Maalim for bringing a very important and weighty Motion to this House. I only want him to note that we are Members of the National Assembly and the operating term here is “national” so that we stop looking at problems in our unique areas forgetting that they affect the police force all over the country. I just want to make that correction. I wish we could all be working with the knowledge that we are doing so for the greater good of the nation and not only for police officers in our constituencies or ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: I want to talk about some facts. I have got these facts by talking much to my bodyguard because he and, obviously, all our bodyguards are in the police force. There are certain things I have realised. By the time we get them from the police force to come and work for us, they were living under deplorable conditions. I was told of a very nasty situation where three or four police officers share a house: one lives in the first bedroom and the other one in the second bedroom. However, they both share the living room because it is ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: wife with these other three or four officers who have been on duty for six months without a break. That is why you hear, every so often, of situations where police officers shoot each other. Many times, they kill each other because of issues to do with sexual relations with their spouses. It is important that the Government looks into the issues affecting police officers. It is important to note that police officers are not allowed to go out to rent houses. If they were allowed and paid better, they would have been able to get their own decent accommodation. ... view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am dealing with the amendment because the only thing we have done in the amendment is to pull out a portion which is ‘northern Kenya’ but the Motion remains as it was before. I want to be guided. Am I to contribute to the Motion as amended or the amendment only so that we can put it to vote? view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Very good. I will go back to where I started and finish there. We are looking at the national picture. The problems facing police officers spread across the country and so we cannot concentrate on a small area. I support the amendment that allows us to discuss the NPS with regard to the whole country, as proposed by Hon. Murungi Kathuri. Thank you. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. This is an extremely important Bill that is going to solve quite a number of issues affecting the citizens of this country. view
• 21 Mar 2018 in National Assembly: From the definition, this is an Act of Parliament to provide for offences relating to computer systems. I took the opportunity to understand it better and went to look at the definition of computer systems and within that definition, I realised they are physical or virtual devices including mobile devices which are part and parcel of computer systems. This is something that is extremely important because we all know that almost all Kenyans own mobile phones. Therefore, they are part and parcel of the system we are talking about. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information ... view
