On a point of order, Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir. I would like to ask hon. Ekwe Ethuro to inform me what he means in respect of his comments that he does not want us to go the Miguna Miguna way. Is that parliamentary? Is it in order? If it is, could he explain which way is that because I am not aware of it?

Mr. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I said that I do not think it is in order for my colleague to mention the “Miguna Miguna way”, without explaining what it is.

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I stand to support this Bill. It is a Bill that has brought back the confidence that we had in the system. I remember during the constitutional review exercise, much was brought and I can see that many of the issues that were discussed during the constitutional review exercise have been captured here. The police, as my colleague has stated, is the image of the country. Our policemen have done a great job and continue to do a great job. The fact that they are marked as the most corrupt institution in Kenya is sometimes ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not only Kirui. Kirui is just one of many. I remember that, at that time, I was the only Member of Parliament there and my vehicle was picking up dead bodies. I went to see the Provincial police officers and we had a meeting, not far away from the Nyanza Club, with the Provincial Police Officer, (PPO), the Provincial Commissioner and the district security team. I pleaded with them to stop using live bullets. The District Commissioner (DC) and the Provincial Police Officer (PPO) confirmed to me that they would stop using live ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the point I am trying to make is that when I confronted the provincial and district security teams, they threw their hands up in the air. They said: “Sir, we do not know what is happening. We have given the order, but there is somebody else controlling the Police Force”. That is a fact. The fact of the matter is that we put together 87 postmortem reports, with 87 documentations on these people, and sent them through human rights organisations. That is probably why the then Police Commissioner is among those who have cases at ...

Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I suggested that, hoping that we would all adhere to it. However, when you left us to make our own decisions, and nobody else followed the suggestion, I felt that I should also follow suit. However, in the interest of time, I will be brief. What I am saying is that I am very pleased that the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs is now in place. I hope that they will now be effective and put things in order. With those remarks, I beg to support.

asked the Minister for Public Works:- (a) why it has taken so long to complete and handover the buildings at Central and Kondele police stations as well as the staff houses in Kisumu, which are over 90 percent complete, considering that sufficient funds were allocated for the projects; (b) whether he is aware that, due to inefficiency and lack of proper supervision, the police staff houses in Kondele have been built without kitchens and, if so, what steps he will take to rectify the anomaly; and, (c) when the buildings will be completed, in view of the negative effect of ...

Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this Question has been pending for a very long time. It was originally directed to the Office of the President. So, I am pleased to say that I have seen those buildings, which are now complete. However, our officers are still stuck in the old buildings. Therefore, I request the Ministry of
