• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: I urge the House to consider the kind of insecurity challenges that we have and approve it.

This contract has taken 10 years in court rooms; So, we should implement this project; so that we can have a proper surveillance system; its saviour is actually this House. view

• 26 Aug 2014 in National Assembly: Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, hon. Mule is a very good friend of mine. I just wanted to inform him that we interrogated Safaricom and the other players on this issue. They confirmed to us that the police officers are going to be trained for four months, after which the gadgets will be handed over to them. The only thing that remains is the mast. The gadgets will be managed by the National Police Service but the masts will actually host those gadgets. Safaricom has a much wider coverage than most of its competitors. Thank you. view
