• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: I wish to start with the reports under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government. Under this Ministry, we have been able to follow up on three resolutions of the House and the first one was a resolution by Hon. Alois Lentoimaga. This resolution was made on 26th September 2013 and it touched on a very important issue. That is the review of terms and conditions for recruitment, remuneration and deployment of the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) in arid and semi-arid areas. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Under this resolution, the Committee notes that the concerns of the resolution were addressed subsequently under amendments to the National Police Service Act. Therefore, these provisions were made under the National Police Service (Amendment) Act of 2014. This made provision for facilitation of the KPRs in terms of remuneration and providing them with uniform and official identification. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: The Committee recently made a visit to a sample county last weekend for purposes of finding out the extent to which this resolution had been implemented in ASAL counties. This also follows a series of correspondence between the Committee and the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government. It is very sad to note that this is one of those resolutions and subsequent legislations of the House which are lying pretty in our shelves. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: However, during our visit to Turkana County over the weekend, we had a briefing from the county security team. What was very sad was the fact that the top security organ within the county had no idea of the existence of this legislation, let alone its implementation. This is the case and yet we are seeing escalating security situations in our arid and semi-arid areas, for example, Turkana and Baringo. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: We cannot overstate the importance of the KPRs. It was just yesterday when I was watching news about the burial of a chief who was killed by bandits in Baringo and there was an imminent attack. Were it not for the intervention of the KPRs in that area maybe we would be talking of a different story. The stories that we heard in Turkana show the importance of this particular arm of the security which is the lowest devolved unit of security in this country. I, therefore, want to assure the House that we are following keenly on this resolution. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: After the Turkana visit, our next stop will be the Office of the Inspector-General of Police and that of the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and Coordination of National Government as well as the National Police Service Commission. This will make sure that there is proper recognition, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: remuneration and facilitation of the National Police Reservists in accordance with the House resolution as well as the law. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Of concern to us, even as we push for this resolution to be implemented, is the fact that we run the risk of having the county governments intervening to facilitate the KPRs and thus hijacking the security function of the national Government. I cannot even talk about the implications of that. We all know that security is a function of the national Government which needs to be guarded jealously for the good of Kenyans. view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the second resolution that we are following up as a Committee under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government relates to the establishment of the National Unified Identification System. This is based on a Motion by Hon. Charles Nyamae that was passed on 23rd October, 2013. The Committee notes that towards this end, the Ministry is implementing an Integrated Population Registration System whose key components include the creation of an electronic national register and the generation and assigning of the 14-digit unique identifier based on peculiar circumstances of each individual. This system has already ... view
• 16 Jun 2015 in National Assembly: On the third item under the Ministry of Interior and Coordination of National Government is a resolution on the establishment of a Disaster Management Authority. This is based on a Motion moved by Hon. Tiya Galgalo in July, 2013.The Committee notes that a draft policy and a Cabinet Memo have been developed towards the establishment of the National Disaster Management Authority. However, we have noted that there has been a delay occasioned by a proposal to merge the policy with the National Drought Management Authority. As we speak right now, I would like to update the report which was tabled ... view
