• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: know how to deal with cases of illicit brews and the ones in Eastern Province do not know. So, could he tell us what is happening in Eastern Province where the police are not able to prosecute? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The question is very simple. Does it mean that it is only the police in the Rift Valley that are able to get evidence in those cases and the ones in Eastern Province do not know? There is only one case in Eastern Province against 29,452 cases in Rift Valley. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: asked the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security:- (a) Whether he could explain the reason behind the rise of armed robberies within Matuu town; and, (b) What action he is taking to ensure that the residents of the town and their property are safe. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am actually surprised because every time there is a presidential pardon the Government says that it has released prisoners who have reformed, and that they are petty prisoners. The Assistant Minister has told us that the presidential pardon is for the release of hardcore criminals, which I find to be very amazing. Who has been advising the President to release these hardcore criminals? Could he advise us? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. This Assistant Minister is taking this House lightly. We know very well that the ratio of policemen to civilians--- This country does not meet internationally recognized standards, and the Assistant Minister has been on record confirming the same. Is the Assistant Minister in order to take this House lightly and in circles? view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it appears from the Assistant Minister’s answer that the cycle is as follows. The cycle is that the police arrest hardcore criminals, courts jail them and the President pardons them. That is the answer he has given to the House. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Under the law of Presidential Pardon, what is provided for is for petty criminals to be released. If the Assistant Minister does not understand what “petty cases” or ”petty criminals” mean, I will help him. These are minor offences like traffic offences and disorderly conduct. Those who are petty criminal offenders cannot just become hardcore criminals. So, I want him to confirm whether, indeed, the Presidential Pardon had been including hardcore criminals and who has been giving this advice to the President to give release them. view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I do not wish to waste the time of this House because I could as well ask this Question to the Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs, which is in charge of prisoners. I have raised it variously. Could the Assistant Minister explain to the House why hardcore criminals are being released through Presidential pardon? The answer would be very obvious from the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs. You have said that they do not release hardcore criminals. So, is he in order to mislead this House? ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not true that the people of the North Eastern Province voted “YES” in the last referendum because of the new Constitution, nor is it true that the Kamba people voted “NO” because of the issue of maize. Coming to my question, we started with the issue of coffee. The coffee sector went under. The dairy sector went under. The wheat sector has just gone under. Coming to the issue of livestock farming in this country generally, you will find that simple things like cattle dips are non-existent. Professionals like veterinary doctors were just recently ... view
• 11 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, while we associate the role played in what happened in the Mau, with the Government because we believe it cannot be done by the Ministry of Water and Irrigation alone, we are aware there are parts of Aberderes, which should actually be catchment areas. As we talk now, Kilimambogo or Donyo Sabuk, the hill is being encroached on, in Kangundo Constituency as well as many other hills in Mbooni. What measures is the Government going to take to protect water catchments areas like the Aberderes, Kilimambogo and other hills in Mbooni and any other part in ... view
