• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) According to the Memorandum of Understanding between the Government of the Republic of Kenya and the British Government, British troops conduct training within the areas allocated to the Kenyan Defence Forces (KDF) in Archers Post and Lolkanjau area. According to the statement by the British Army on 10th June, 2012, the British Military were conducting range clearance exercise in the general area of Lolkanjau (Ref. No.670987) with both the ground and aerial teams conducting clearance prior to commencing the live firing training. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the ground troops and aerial teams were ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very grave matter and I can understand the reason why the hon. Member has said the things he has said. Indeed, I want to confirm that even last year, I answered a similar Question from the same hon. Member involving another moran who was killed. The circumstances explained by the British Army were similar to the ones that I have explained. I want to confirm to this House that following this incident, the Ministry of State for Defence has taken this matter seriously. Indeed, we are of the view that the police must conduct ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, first, I want to correct the impression that the deceased was shot outside the training area. I have a map, which I will make available to the hon. Member, showing exactly where the deceased was shot. This is a normal training area for the Kenya Defence Forces. That is where the unfortunate incident took place. I have also said that we are in communication with the Commission of Police. We have forwarded to the Commissioner of Police a copy of the memorandum of understanding, so that he may see clearly that this matter falls under his purview. ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know where the hon. Member got the figure of six. It was six morans and not six soldiers. I do agree with him and that is why I am emphasizing the issue of an inquest being undertaken to establish the truth. Ordinarily, the shooting should have been to immobilize and not to kill. I have a copy of view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Bw. Spika, itakumbukwa kwamba Swali hili lilikuja Jumanne na nikaomba ruhusa nisijibu kwa sababu sikuridhika na majibu ambayo yalikuwa yameandikwa. Kwa hivyo, ningependa kumhakikishia mhe Leshoomo na Bunge hili kwamba siwezi kujibu tu kwa sababu nimeliletewa jibu. Hii ndio sababu nilikataa kujibu siku ya Jumanne; sikukubaliana na yale ambayo yalikuwa yameandikwa. Hili ni jambo ambalo tumelizungumzia kikamilifu katika Wizara. Hii ndio sababu nilisema kwamba mwaka jana nilijibu swali ambalo lilikuwa na maelezo kama haya. Kwa hivyo, tumesema sasa hatua ichukuliwe. Niko na barua hapa ya kuonyesha kwamba tumechukua hatua kamilifu tukiwa na Kamishina wa Polisi. Kutoka leo, mambo haya yako ... view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know the issue of the gazetted area is not the reason why the deceased was killed. It is because he had a rifle and I have evidence of the rifle number that he had. It is because he threatened – according to information – to shoot and that is why he was shot. However, the issue of gazettement of training areas in Samburu is a matter--- view
• 16 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was very particular about the rifle and that is why I went and saw the serial number of the rifle that the deceased was carrying. Be that as it may, we agree that the solution is not to shoot particularly when it happened last year in the same manner. So we agree that the force that was used was probably more than necessary but that is for the inquest to determine after which the law will take its course. view
• 14 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I seek the indulgence of the House. I have the reply and I have discussed this with hon. Letimalo, but I request that this Question be scheduled for Thursday this week and he is in agreement. view
• 8 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) In September, 2011, Gatundu North Constituency was within the larger Thika District and a total of 125 individuals applied to be recruited as cadets and General Service Officers and no application for Specialist Officers was received from that district. The list of all those who applied is not being tabulated here simply because they are not specific to Gatundu. However, this is what transpired in the district. Thirty two applicants were rejected as follows:- view
