• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am surprised that the Member for Maragwa has not receiver a written response because today at 11.00 a.m., I dispatched several responses; one to him and another to Mr. Mwau. Mr. Mwau was here with his and we went through it. This is an indication that, indeed, they were brought to Parliament Buildings. Nevertheless, if the hon. Member could bear with me, I could--- view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that on the night of 24th /25th December, 2012 at about midnight, two police officers - No.207230 AP Sergt.

Mr. Saina alleged that Mr. Munene Njue, through mobile phone number view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with hon. Mbau that, indeed, the loss of the young man is regrettable. It is something that should not have happened and we have started investigations. One of the reasons we have started these investigations is to know in a detailed manner why the police reached the extent of using the firearms. The police could have overreacted, but this is partly due to the fact that, in the recent times, police officers have been attacked and many of them fatally wounded for failure to take early action in their self-defence. The information we have is ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the purpose of the police shooting was actually to disable the attackers. As I have said, it is regrettable that the bullet that was shot fatally wounded the young man. But you must also appreciate the fact that this confrontation was in the middle of the night and issues of visibility, where to shoot and so on, could have affected the judgement of the police. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know where the hon. Member got the information that when the policemen see a group of young men in Central Province walking, they are gangsters. To the best of my knowledge, there are several groups of young people who walk freely in Central Province. This incident was based on misinformation. The action taken on the basis of this information is regretted. Regarding the issue of the fraudster or imposter, Waiganjo, that is a matter that is being dealt with. I would like the hon. Member to appreciate the fact that all of us--- view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was in the process of completing. I want this House to note that in the recent past, we have had so many police officers who were acting professionally and were killed. The police are also reviewing how they can defend themselves while carrying out their duties. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have confirmed to this House beyond reasonable doubt that there was misinformation. I have even given the name of the person who provided the misinformation and what action has been taken against him. It is true that there could have been other forms of misinformation in the past, but we are dealing with this specific case and have given the specific information. view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree. When I saw the amount of that the court had discharged Mr. Munene on, I thought that it was so small, because it was a bail view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will recall that last week on Thursday, the same Question was on the Floor of the House. It had even been on the Floor two other times before then. The information and assurance that the hon. Member of Parliament wanted is one which I was unable to supply as I had to seek legal opinion from the Office of the Attorney-General. We did not receive any information today morning. Therefore, I am still not in a position to state anything different from what I said before. However, I have had a chat with the hon. Member ... view
• 8 Jan 2013 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had a conversation with the Attorney General a few moments ago and he was not in a position to give me a definitive answer. We have agreed that we seek deferment of this Question until tomorrow afternoon. view
