• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to congratulate the Minister and all those who were involved in drafting this Bill. This Bill is very good and for the first time it will make our police force independent and be able to transact their business without any undue influence from the Executive or anybody else. So, I want to congratulate the Minister and all those concerned. There are a number of issues that I would like to raise that need to be considered. The first one is on the definition of torture. When it comes to the definition of torture, ... view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area which we also need to look at is the functions of the Inspector-General. One of the functions, which I believe should be important for the Inspector-General is to establish and maintain a dynamic and comprehensive database on crime, including creation of relevant maps. The information is extremely important when it comes to the deployment of the police. This is because we need to know where a particular crime is prevalent, so that we can deploy the police there. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: The other area which needs to be considered under Clause 11 is with regard to the conditions or qualifications we need for the Inspector-General. I believe that we need an Inspector-General who has experience in strategic planning and management. If he does not have that, he should also have interest or qualification in Sociology. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that is of interest is the County Policing Authority. This needs to be relooked into, as hon. Musila said, because there is conflicting interest there. The role of the Provincial Administration under this County Policing Authority needs to be re-examined. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Under the Criminal Investigation Department, I also believe that one of its functions should be to establish a dynamic crime database and monitor crime trends by type and area. This is because criminal investigation is very important and the establishment of a database that is dynamic is very important. Without a database on criminal activities, it is unlikely that the Department can transact its business very efficiently. view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area that is of interest is Clause 56. Clause 56(1) says:- “A public officer in uniform may stop and detain any person whom he or she witnesses doing any act or thing” view
• 23 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: I do not know what that means. I suspect that it must be witnesses doing any unlawful act or thing. So, I also need the drafters of this Bill to look into this. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the other area is “b” which says: “Finds in possession of anything or.” I think there must be a definition there. What does “anything” mean? That is an area that I would also like to be looked into. In conclusion, I would like to say that with regard to Community Policing, we need to examine how the Community Policing Committees will work ... view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: asked the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance:- (a) why the budget allocation to Rural Electrification Authority (REA) reduced from Kshs 3.574 billion in 2008/09 to Kshs3.05 billion in 2009/10 and Kshs1.142 billion in 2010/11; (b) whether he is aware that the reduction has led to a reduction in constituency allocation by REA, from Kshs22.3 million in 2008/09 to Kshs14.4 million in 2010/11, hence stifling the Rural Electrification Programme and, consequently, impeding the implementation of Vision view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (c) whether he could confirm that there is a reduction in the 2011/2012 Budget allocation to an average amount of Kshs4 million per constituency after all expenditure consideration and, if so, what other plans the Government has to source funds for the REA. view
• 18 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to table information that I have received from the REA which is at variance with what the Assistant Minister tabled. So, which are the right figures? view
