Sen. Wako Mr. Speaker, Sir, in one minute I can say that I would like the country to re-read the Building Bridges Initiative’s (BBI) First Report. Everybody accepted the BBI’s first report. It talks about what I am talking about but it also talks about how we must fix Kenya...

Sen. Wako Give me one minute.

Sen. Wako Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I remember him telling me and others that the worth of a country is measured by how it treats the lonely people in the community. That is why he asked his Vice President to find out how the prisoners were being treated. He...

Sen. WakoSince the NPS is now regarded as a profession, it must appropriately discipline all police officers who do not adhere to the highest standards of professionalism. One of the gravest misconduct is to deprive somebody’s life arbitrarily and summarily. Therefore, I call upon NPS to now engage the gear...

Proceed, Sen. Wako. You have three minutes to finish. Sen. Wakoaway claimed that they were police officers. However, we now doubt whether they were police officers because the NPS has denied claims that he was in their custody.If everybody knew that any police officer carrying out any official function must...
