• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is already an arrangement that, where we can provide housing for the Administration Police officers in locations, we send them there immediately. If hon. Members could assist us to identify appropriate housing for the Administration Police officers and report to us, we will definitely send them there.

• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whenever we get a request that a police post should be established at any point, we undertake to do so if there is adequate housing for the police officers. Of course, we have to work together. On the allegation that police officers are working with thugs, as we have always said, if there is any evidence to confirm this, then let us be told and we will take the necessary action. I cannot say it on a flat board that all police officers are working with us. Many of them are not doing so. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want us to get one thing clear; we are talking about a police post and not a police station. I am aware that there is no police station there, but there is a police post. That is the one we have undertaken to verify. He has said that there is no police post there and I know it is there. I undertake to verify whether there is a police post there including visiting the area to verify the position on the ground. view
• 19 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. As far as I am concerned, none of my police officers collude with thugs. I want to put it on record that the persons he is talking about 2174 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES July 19, 2006 are not police officers. Let us not politicize this issue. Thank you. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that Mr. Musa Malakwen Mitei was attacked and harassed. However, I am aware that the ex-police officer was lawfully arrested on 30th June, 2005 by about ten and not 70 police officers to facilitate investigations into a criminal case. (b) I am not aware. (c) The ex-police officer was arrested and detained to facilitate investigations into a robbery with violence case. The Occurrence Book (OB) No.36/30/06/2005 confirms that the suspect was detained for less than 24 hours which is within limitation period and not 30 hours as alleged. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, what the hon. Member has done is to confirm that there was a report about Mr. Mitei. The report necessitated investigation. That is why ten police officers were sent to his home to arrest him. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the person we are talking about here is an ex-police officer who was dismissed from service because he committed a crime. He was arrested, charged in court, found guilty and sentenced to two years imprisonment. Later on, other allegations were levelled against him. So we are talking about a hardened criminal. We are not talking about a peace-loving citizen. That is why he was arrested to facilitate investigation. view
• 18 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, they did not act on rumours. It was reported that the ex- officer had committed a crime and that is why he was arrested. view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Several people have recorded statements in the process of investigations into this incident. Police File No.CR141/428/2006 is still open. Police are still appealing to any persons with information that may assist in the investigations to volunteer it in confidence to help bring the perpetrators of this crime to book. (b) The Government has no mandate to determine compensation by a private entity which is governed by the terms and conditions of employment contract between the deceased and his employer. view
• 13 Jul 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that investigations are ongoing. If the hon. Member has any information he thinks can assist to bring the perpetrators of this crime to book, he should volunteer it to us. view
