• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I support this Report by the Committee because we have trusted them that whatever they have written in it is factual and true. So, if they have established that issues of integrity, fairness and academic qualifications are sorted out in all these appointments and well taken care of, then, I have no otherwise, but to support the appointment of these people. We need IPOA to protect the rights of the members of the public so that they are not harassed unnecessarily by the police as they perform their duties, the way we see people in Uganda being harassed. I believe ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: The issue of gender is well addressed here. There is gender balance. Possibly, even in the next Parliament, we may need to have it balanced. Possibly, we may need to have every constituency having ladies competing on their own and men on their own so that we can have The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: 50:50 ratio in this House. We do need to support that because those are our daughters, sisters and mothers. We need to have a ratio of 50:50 by having a lady and a man in each constituency in this country. Apart from that, I believe IPOA needs to also address issues of working conditions of policemen. They are also not enjoying the environment in which they operate. Possibly, that is why they are stressed up and they harass members of the public. Imagine policemen sharing houses. I once visited my brother working somewhere in Embu. Although they had beautiful houses ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Even the issues of salaries need to be looked into. When we hear that the starting salary of a police officer is Kshs17,000, we know that it is really unfair. I understand even the gardener for the Chief Justice earns a minimum of Kshs75,000. Surely, a policeman needs to be around that range and not very far. Of course, the teachers of this country, who are underpaid, also need to be somewhere there. That needs to be harmonised. I do not understand why we have the SRC which is unable to harmonise salaries in this country. That needs to be ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: They also need to look at the issue of fairness. There is a tradition and habit which has started of policemen arresting people - both the mighty and the lowly in the society - on Fridays, so that they can ensure that they spend the weekend in police cells from Friday up to Monday. The arrest should not be used as a way of punishment. Why not arrest them on a Monday and sort them on Tuesday in the courts? I believe that can serve the issue of justice but not to imprison people on Friday and then avail them ... view
• 22 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: With those few remarks, I wish to support and donate my time to my colleague from Bomet, who is my county Member of Parliament, because I still have some few minutes. view
• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairlady. I want to support this amendment because I believe that the two levels of Government need to consult. If one level of Government makes a decision, I believe that it can be very unfair. It is fair when the two levels of government consult. view

• 7 Aug 2018 in National Assembly: I believe that the market value of the land should be upheld. I know that the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) is moving towards western Kenya passing through Bomet. I wish that the market value of the payments would still continue. We do not want to have a situation where people on this other side were paid based on the market value of the land and then have a controlled price as the SGR moves towards western Kenya. view
