• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, we have already ordered a number of vehicles which are on the way. Clearly, the first priority for these vehicles will be the hot spots and the area that the hon. Member has referred to is an identified hot spot. We will continue providing that when we are able to get sufficient resources from the Exchequer in order to make sure that our police are properly equipped. But more important, I will count on hon. Members when the next Budget comes here for review to also assist the Ministry to recruit more police ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Member is asking how many people are contained in the list that I have tabled, and if, indeed, that is the case we are then looking at a figure of 661. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, so far, I have not been furnished with bank accounts of any of these people. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if I may go back to the content of the Question, the hon. Member specifically asked me to give a list of persons who have been arrested for drug trafficking from 1980 to 2001. This is what I have done. The document, as you can see, is very voluminous. I can state here that there is information in each one of the 600 cases, first of all, as to the nature of the crime, the type of the drug that was in question and, indeed, exactly what the conclusion of the court was----. If I were to ... view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this particular document or the list of those who have either been convicted or otherwise does not include any Member of this House. I have not seen any. view
• 5 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have tabled a document here. This has a desegregation of the nationalities, the types of the drugs and the sentences that were meted out. I said that I can read it but I do not think that it is fair. view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question asked by Mr. Duale, I would like to give the following answer. Prior to the statement by the Right hon. Prime Minister, I had already directed investigations on this matter. Therefore, the statement by the Right hon. Prime Minister was not in contradiction with the action that had then been undertaken. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do note that a question was raised here as to whether there can be confidence in the ability of the police to be able to deal with these matters. I can only say that we have embarked on the ... view
• 25 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: . So, the only thing that I would like, therefore, to assure this House is that to reforms, however, difficult it is -, and I want to say that it is not that easy - is firm and will continue. I have no doubt at all that when we do formalize the actualization of the three Bills, I think you will see a major change of the police attitude and other things. The intention is not to intimidate the police but to ensure that police are equipped with the capacity to undertake their work and they approach these matters broadly. ... view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as you have heard the hon. Member has sought a Ministerial Statement regarding the unfortunate incident that took place sometimes last year, when a District Education Officer and also two other Kenyans were abducted by the Al Shabaab. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to the extent that the hon. Member has tabled a CD in relation to whereabouts of this officer, I would wish that I be given time to be able to come up with a comprehensive statement next week on Wednesday, having gone through that particular CD. This is because that CD itself, may very well shed some light on the exact position and locations where this Kenyan is, or the other Kenyans are. view
