Dullo Fatuma Adan

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I join my colleagues to congratulate the Mediation Committee for having resolved the outstanding issues. Kenyans will have something to smile about, especially if this Bill becomes operational. For us in northern Kenya, over the years, we have had a lot of challenges, especially...

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I would request the Senator to give us about a month to be able to respond to those issues because it is very lengthy and it also requires a thorough search. Is that okay, Sen. M. Kajwang?

Sen. Adan Madam Temporary Speaker, I think it is in order if it is the next financial year.

Sen. Adan

Sen. Adan Sen. Khaniri, do you have a request? Okay, I had not seen it.

Sen. Adan Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to emphasize one thing. Okay. Let us have one last intervention on that.

Sen. Adan

Sen. Adancentres.The next question was whether there was likelihood of disenfranchising a section of the population. The exercise is being undertaken in 1400 county assembly wards across the country. The commission has put in place the underlying principle of accessibility that will govern the exercise. The voter registration will rotate...

Hon. Senators, are you generally in agreement with the two weeks period, because of the nature of the answers she has to bring?

Madam Temporary Speaker, one last clarification--- March 9, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

We have already brought that to a closure because the Chair has already pronounced herself on this.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I just want to emphasize one thing. Okay. Let us have one last intervention on that.

Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker. The question of people using waiting cards to register as voters was raised earlier by my leader, Sen. Wetangula. He cited legislation which allows people to be registered on the basis of those waiting cards, only that during voting, they may not use them. Could...

Madam Temporary Speaker, this is in response to a Statement sought by Sen. Nabwala, on the ongoing countrywide mass voter registration and the issues concerned. Since the statement is not long and all the issues are important, I propose to read it. March 9, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

APPROVAL OF NOMINATION OF SENATORS TO THE COUNTY PUBLIC ACCOUNTS AND INVESTMENTS COMMITTEE March 9, 2016 SENATE DEBATES

Sen. Adan

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. With you indulgence before I proceed, I have a request from yesterday. I wonder at what stage I can proceed. However, let me answer this particular statement first.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, 23rd February, 2016, Sen. Kittony requested for a statement on the alleged assault of a police officer who was on duty by Captain Allister Brown in Kinangop, Nyandarua County on Sunday, 21st February, 2016. The hon. Senator sought to be informed the circumstances that led...

Sen. Adan Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The crowd was agitated by the incident and became hostile forcing the pilot to take refuge in the chopper, after which he took off to the air, but he landed back shortly thereafter. During the security coverage for such events, the following measures...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am restricted to the information that I was given and to the statement requested. I will start by responding to the issue raised by Sen. Kagwe. The issue of police officers being beaten or assaulted is something that has been happening in the country...

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not get what Sen. (Dr.) Machage has said because I was consulting with the Senator next to me. Let him repeat or kindly allow me to proceed.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, when I said that Senators make noise, I meant that they complain. Let me correct my sentence and say that Senators will complain.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I apologize.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a matter that we need to discuss with the department of police to ensure that such a situation does not happen again. I believe that this is as a result of loss of confidence by the members of public with the police officers....

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not have information as to whether the pilot uttered such words. However, it is a matter that I can request the officers who are carrying out the investigation to give me the feedback.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, regarding how this fellow came into the country and got the job, I need to find out from the relevant department and give the same information to the House. However, currently I do not have that information.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, if Sen. (Dr.) Machage listened to the statement, conditions were given which the pilot did not fulfil. That is why he was detained. Once he fulfilled the conditions, he was released on bond. That is the position.

Sen. Adan Mr. Speaker, Sir, this statement was requested by Sen. Khaniri. On 16th February, 2016, Sen. Khaniri requested for a statement on the Shooting of Boda Boda Riders by Police at Kilingili, Vihiga County, during a peaceful demonstration where one person died and two others were injured. Sen. Khaniri...

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I totally agree with Sen. Khaniri because we briefly shared this Statement before it came before the House. I informed him that the answer was insufficient. On the issue of investigation, I will request the police to give me more information before I come...

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, with your indulgence, I prefer that this matter be referred to IPOA because it is the right institution to investigate it properly. The Police Service cannot investigate themselves and give us clear information to this House.

Sen. Adan Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Thursday next week. As a Committee, we undertake to take this matter to IPOA. Thank you.
