• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, considering the fact that members of community policing do not produce certificates of good conduct from the Criminal Investigations Department (CID) to confirm their levels of integrity, what steps is the Assistant Minister taking? Over time, we have had chiefs and members of community policing being put into custody by the same police. view

• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Assistant Minister has ably captured part "b" of the Question. However, he has given a confused and contradictory answer to part "a". Bearing in mind the seriousness--- view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is what I want to do. Bearing in mind what has been happening in Mt. Elgon in the last three years, for example, in 2005, there was a serious conflict between wildlife and the residents of Chebwek and in 2004, there was a serious wildlife/human conflict in Emia. view

• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to get confirmation from the Assistant Minister, because I do not want my community to go through what they went through in the recent past.

• 2 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is very unfortunate that this issue has been treated very casually. No wonder, we have serious housing problems in the prisons.

Elgon, Trans Nzoia and other parts of north-west region, what steps the Government is taking to bring to an end cattle-rustling and other activities that promote insecurity in the areas; (b) what steps the Government will take to reduce poverty, which is a major contributor to the state of insecurity in the said areas. view
• 13 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is unfortunate that the very able Assistant Minister has partially answered this Question. I agree about the security presence in Mt. Elgon; the kind of security infrastructure that we have there. He has made it very clear that there are four new police stations and eight new police posts.
