6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, we dealt with that issue last week when there was a Question by another hon. Member. We wrote those letters purely on administrative purposes. I said we had asked chiefs to show cause why disciplinary action should not be taken against them for particular reasons. As I said, this was purely administrative.

6 Jun 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that is procedural. When we make recommendations to the DPM, we wait for it to finalise. We do not come to Parliament to tell hon. Members what we have recommended. I do not think that is proper.

31 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would like to assure the hon. Member and, indeed, the entire House that the suspect will be charged in court. Rape is a serious case and we should deal with it firmly. I also agree with the hon. Member that there could have been something wrong with the police officers at Kapsabet Police Station. Indeed, that is why I requested to be given more time in order to deal with the issue firmly. I assure the hon. Member that we will take stern measures against the police officers who have exhibited some laxity as far as ...

Mr. Speaker, Sir, initially, I was also confused. The Question says that, that girl was strangled and then raped. However, when we sought to know more, we realised that she may not have been strangled, but she was raped. We have taken the measures that I have already revealed.

31 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am sorry for that slip of the tongue. I meant on 30th May, 2006 which was last night. We are handling this matter with the seriousness it deserves. We have already issued instructions ordering the sacking of the police officer, who was investigating this matter. We have also issued instructions for the sacking of the OCS, who was in charge of the police station at that time because of the laxity with regard to that matter. This matter was reported to the police station in February this year, but no action was taken until this Question ...

31 May 2006 in National Assembly:
Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have issued instructions to have these two officers sacked. I can assure the House that we are sacking them. If need be, I will bring documents to the House to show that we have sacked them. Not only are we sacking them, but we also want to carry out investigations. Should we discover that some officers were compromised in one way or another we will definitely charge them in court.
