• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, most of the firearms are being held illegally. We all know that people do not volunteer information on the illegal activities they undertake. So, we can only speak with clarity on estimates. We know that this figure could be bigger or smaller because most of the firearms enter the country through “ panya routes”. They are not elements which are registered. So, if I stand here and say that this is what we have, it would not be fair. view
• 13 Dec 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it has been stated by even His Excellency the President that the forthcoming elections will be peaceful. It is our intention and the intention of all the hon. Members of this House that we have very peaceful elections. As far as we are concerned, the issue of using firearms to intimidate opponents is very unlikely to happen. I think the firearms are used for economic and political activities, including robberies. Incidents such as the one we had in Eastleigh, involving a hand grenade, can be regarded as a political activity. In terms of intimidating opponents, if that ... view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I confirm that Mr. Peter George Odhiambo was arrested on 8th December, 1999 and charged before the Chief Magistrates Court, Nairobi on 14th December, 1999 with the offence of forgery, contrary to Section 349 of the Penal Code by the Banking Fraud Investigations Department.

• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I confirm that it is one and the same Peter Odhiambo. What I cannot confirm here is the relationship that the hon. Member has indicated that existed between Peter Odhiambo and the American Embassy. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can confirm that I am aware that the same Peter Odhiambo has sued the Government of Kenya. But what hon. Mwau had alluded to is a relationship existing between the same Mr. Peter Odhiambo and the US Embassy. I want to confirm something that I have seen, I am aware of, or is documented. I am not aware about that relationship. The mere fact that Peter Odhiambo was given a visa to go to USA and he is residing in the USA does not confirm any form of relationship. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when the case was taken to court, it was thrown out. So, the matter is no longer in court. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. He is not in any way sentenced. view
• 21 Nov 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already confirmed that, indeed, Mr. Peter George Odhiambo was charged before court on 12th December, 1999 but he was acquitted under Section 210 of the Criminal Procedure Code on the following grounds. One, the suspect documents were never taken to the document examiner to support evidence by Mr. Obadiah Mbaya of Barclays Bank. He did not sign the employment letter presented to the Embassy. Further, specimen signatures were not taken to Mr. Mbaya for comparison by the document examiner. No evidence to the contrary was produced to prove that the suspect was not at ... view
