Asante, Bw. Naibu Spika, kwa kunipa nafasi hii pia nichangie Mswada huu. Kwanza, ninamshukuru sana dada yetu, Seneta Pareno, kwa kuleta Mswada huu wa marekebisho ambao hatimaye ukiwa sheria utasaidia vitengo vingi sana katika Kamati ya Uwiano na Utangamano. Kwanza, tunazingatia amani. Tunakumbuka baada ya uchaguzi, nchi yetu ya Kenya ilikumbwa na taharuki za aina nyingi ambapo tulipoteza maisha ya watu wetu. Hakukuwa na amani na biashara nyingi za watu zilizoroteka. Hali ya kutojua kesho itakuwa namna gani ilikuwa imetanda kote nchini. Hivi sasa, naona mambo mwafaka ambayo dada ameyaleta hapa na marekebisho mengi ili kuona taasisi yetu hii itakuwa ...

Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir, I have noticed something very interesting in the way we conduct our business. As much as I would not want to interfere when my colleague is talking, I think it is high time that the Speaker forcefully applied the Standing Orders. When one seeks a Statement under Standing Order 48(1), instead of others adding an addendum to that Statement and asking questions, they now turn it into debate. We are not debating here. That is why when you allow that kind of thing to take place, there is no one left on that side, because they ...

Asante Bw. Spika wa Muda. Ninataka pia kuezeka juu ya yale waliyoyasema ndugu zangu, Sen. Kang‟ata, Sen. Sakaja na vile vile Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. Kitu cha kwanza ni kwamba heshima sio utumwa. Tunawaheshimu sana magavana lakini ikifika wakati wanaanza matusi, inakuwa personal. Walimtukana marehemu mama wa Seneta. Hatutakubali jambo hilo. Hilo litakuwa limepita mpaka. Kwa hivyo, Bunge la Seneti lichukue hatua mwafaka ili tujue njia tutakayotumia ili hawa watu wafuate sheria zinazotakikana kikamilifu.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, today is a sad day for this country. We have witnessed elected MPs, particularly our colleague in the Senate and Hon. David Gikaria and Hon. Justus Murunga being arrested. It is a shame for that to happen without any explanations. How can the police officers stop hon. Members from doing their work and arrest them in the streets the way they arrested our brother and colleague Sen. Malalah? It is sad to embarrass and deny an elected MP from carrying out their daily duties. All of us condemn the police in the strongest terms possible for not ...

but they shot and killed some people without any justification. They purportedly were serving an order to an old man who is 70 years old and cannot even talk. That mzee does not even know how to read or write but he has been living on that piece of land together with his family. I would like to talk about what happened to a Member of the County Assembly (MCA) of that area, Mr. Sammy Ndago. When he went to find out what had happened, it is sad that before he could even open his mouth to ask what they ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to add my voice to this issue of arbitrary arrests. It is unfair, unjust and against the Constitution to arrest any individual without any warrant of arrest. I urge my brother who is the Chairperson of the Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights to ensure that he summons the Inspector- General of Police (IG) and the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) to come to this House to explain to us whether this is contained in the Constitution or it is a new law which some of us do not know about; considering ...
