• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: So, the injuries regarding blunt objects are already there. The injuries that had been suffered from sharp objects--- It is not clear whether they were from the police. They could as well have been from previous injuries sustained. I want to repeat that, that is what the inquest is going to determine. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not want to speculate why the police did not shoot the victim. The simple facts are that the victim was, first of all, drunk. He was fleeing and fell on an object. I do not think there was any need for the police to use guns because they use them when there is excess threat to their lives. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as it is now, a public inquest has already been set up to look into this matter. So, my plea to the hon. Members is that we allow it complete its work. I commit myself to come back and give whatever recommendations they will come up with. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 14th April, 2012, at about 8.30 p.m. an unknown number of thugs, one believed to be armed with a knife raided the house of Rev. Benson Nandwa, located within Shibale ACK Parish Church compound. The gangsters strangled the reverend, stabbed him on the chest and left him unconscious after robbing him off an unknown amount of money and a mobile phone. Neighbours who heard the commotion rushed to the house and took him to St. Mary’s Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival. (b) The police visited the scene and ... view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not in a position to talk about premonitions, especially from religious leaders. However I can say that the police have dealt with this matter in the right way. The charges that have been preferred against the offenders carry the same weight in terms of penalty. So, it does not matter whether they are charged with robbery with violence or murder. This is because the two charges carry the same penalty. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have already stated that the police have enhanced security especially in the parish. I want to inform the Member of Parliament that Bishop Salalah is someone who is known to me. In fact, he was my classmate. When this matter came to me, I made a phone call to him to determine the extent of the threats to him and his people. The information he gave me was that it was a one-off situation. It is not something that is expected to continue. view
• 26 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mumias neighbours my constituency. Therefore, the type of insecurity that affects its people normally spills over into my constituency and I am aware of the situation. But to give him comfort, I want to invite the hon. Member to come to my office so that, together, we can contact the Provincial Police Officer (PPO),Western Province, engage him and agree on specific measures that will ensure that the security in the area remains normal. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you very much, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. Indeed, I am ready to respond to this Question. In the morning, I had an opportunity to go through the facts. But I also realized the wisdom that is coming through the Floor, especially what hon. C. Kilonzo has said that we are having a conflict in that area. It might be prudent on our part to have both parties involved, so that as I present the answer, both of them could be in a position to prosecute it. view
• 25 Sep 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Question has been on this Floor twice; I am now attempting to answer it for the third time. It was first answered by the then Acting Minister, Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security, hon. Yusuf Haji, on 11th September, 2012. The second attempt was made on 13th September, by hon. Lesrima. It was felt that sufficient information was not provided at that point. My task here is to provide some supplementary information which at that point was not available. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, after hon. Aden Duale made ... view
