• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. My colleague here is making me laugh. I equally want to support the appointment of Mr. Mutyambai as the new IG and commend the work the good Committee has done in terms of getting to us a good report about him. I met Mr. Mutyambai first when I was in the Committee of Defence and Foreign Relations, and had a few interactions with him. I want to believe that he is a man who is able and up to the task. There are very many underlying issues that he will meet in the new ... view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: harassed. In as much as there are by-laws that bar motorbike riders from entering the CBD, I have seen young men being harassed by police officers who are used by the county government. Recently, I saw a young man with a passenger on his motorbike. I saw one police officer pull the motorbike and hurt the passenger. When people came, I could see the police office throw some teargas canisters at the people who had converged to ask what was happening. view
• 3 Apr 2019 in National Assembly: Not necessarily. I am talking about human rights. Article 49 is very clear on the rights of arrested persons. You do not violate one’s right in the name of effecting a certain by-law. The supreme law of the land remains the Constitution of Kenya and police officers know well that when they are getting people arrested, they should be careful on how they handle them. That is all I am saying in as much as the by- laws exist. Finally, is the issue of police welfare. Their welfare still remains not handled and it is about time we handled it. ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise with regard to time allocation for every Member speaking on this very important Motion. Aware that we are having several Private Members’ Motions today, and today being the last day of this Session, I propose that we limit time for every Member speaking to three minutes for this Motion, so that we can cover all the Private Members’ Motions listed on the Order Paper. view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I equally rise to support this Motion in regard to remuneration of our good elders. I echo what my colleagues have said but equally add that these village elders act as land surveyors in our villages, arbitrators, mediators and dowry negotiators. These are people who play a major role in the society. When there arise disputes that require elderly intervention, our village elders are called upon. They are judges and everything. The Government also uses them as National Intelligence Service (NIS) officials for intelligence collection for the chiefs, sub-chiefs and generally the Government of ... view
• 27 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I think you spent my two minutes. I was saying that they really play a major role in reconciliation and as such, we need to support the Motion to remunerate them or give them motivation. With that, I rise to support the Motion. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. view
• 13 Mar 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to give notice of the following Motion: THAT, concerned that available reports indicate that on average road traffic accidents in the country cause an estimated 3,000 deaths with very many other victims injured and maimed as a result, and placing Kenya among the countries with the highest road carnage globally; further concerned that it is estimated that the cost of economy from road carnage accident is in excess of about Kshs300 billion annually according to the National Transport and Safety Authority (NTSA) Road Safety Status Report 2015; and aware that legislation and policies in ... view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Hon. Deputy Speaker. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I do not think the Leader of the Minority Party is in order to refer to people supporting a certain political angle as Tanga Tanga in the House. The Leader of the Minority Party is trying to divert attention from the real issue that has been raised by the Member for Kimilili in regard to the number of minutes the Leader of the Minority Party is supposed to speak. view
• 13 Feb 2019 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, you do not need to be a rocket scientist to see what is happening in this House. Upon the matter being raised by Hon. Didmus… view
