• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: No, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I do not have an extra copy. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that on 31st August, 2012, during the Administration Police Officers graduation ceremony held at the Administration Police Training College in Embakasi, while visitors scrambled and used force to enter the parade ground, a stampede occurred which resulted to the death of Mr. Joseph Mburu Miiru and Mrs. Keziah Wanjiru Njoroge both from Lari District, while Mr. Christopher Mitei from Transmara District died later on while undergoing treatment at the hospital. The two bodies were moved to the City Mortuary for preservation. A total of 13 others were injured and ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the event was being presided over by His Excellency the President. I have already indicated here that an inquiry has already been established to find out what triggered the stampede. As soon as we have a conclusive answer, I will be able to inform the Member of Parliament. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, out of sympathy for the families and on the basis of an experience that I went through, I have requested the Ministry of State for Special Programmes to offer further assistance beyond what was offered by the Administration Police. It was from an experience I had in April this year when members of my constituency - children who were coming from school games - were crashed by vehicles. When we sought specific assistance, the Ministry of State for Special Programmes was able to do so. So, my believe is that since there is already a precedence, we ... view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was referring to a matter that was in my constituency. I do not remember the Ministry of State for Special Programmes giving us beans and maize. The assistance given was substantial. However, it is possible that it varies from one situation to another. I beg the Member of Parliament to leave that matter with me until I find out what can be done. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in a matter that is as sensitive as this one; a matter where lives have been lost, it is not very good to be speculative. That is why I am avoiding offering an answer that is speculative. Since there is an inquiry in place, it is important that we leave the final resolution to come from the inquiry. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, offering an apology is admitting that there was an omission on the part of the Government. Up to that point, we cannot do so until the inquiry has concluded as much. What I can offer now is some form of condolence. I want to offer condolences to the affected families and indicate to them that we are going to do everything possible to ease their burden. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Members of Parliament are requesting for specific information and I have already told them that it will be made available later on. At this point, we cannot start convicting or blaming anybody for irresponsibility when it is not properly established that, indeed, that person bears that blame. Again, I request view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while acknowledging that the issues being raised by the hon. Member of Parliament are very important, I do not see the Question’s connection with my Ministry. My feeling is that this Question should have been directed to the Ministry of Trade or the Ministry of Finance and not to the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. view
• 2 Oct 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will do that. view
