• 10 Dec 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have informed the hon. Member that by the time we came to the House, I had not received all the information from the Kenya Sugar Board (KSB) and we have agreed that the Question be deferred. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) The Office of the Vice-President and Ministry of Home Affairs has plans to expand prison facilities in the country; indeed, in all district administrative centres. Already four new prisons have recently been constructed. A construction of nine others is also in progress. The Ministry has also completed construction of new inmate accommodation blocks in existing prisons with the latest completion in 12 stations. Thirty six others are currently under construction. Beyond expansion of prison facilities, the Ministry is exploring other methods to ease inmate congestion, particularly the PS and CSO programmes under ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on the question of land, I thank my colleague, Mr. Omollo and request him to do that in writing. Since there is land, we will talk to our friends in the Treasury so that we can consider establishing a prison in Uriri Constituency in the next financial year. However, the hon. Member should bear in mind, and this is on a light touch, that he should not be loud about this because his constituents will say that he wants to get them into prison. This is a matter he has to be pretty careful about. However, you ... view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the very action of relocation might end up being as expensive as giving Uriri its own prison. Besides, I think the Member for Wundanyi would be well advised to check when we actually sent some transport. There was absolutely no transport for the officer in charge and other officers in Wundanyi. I thought the Member for Wundanyi would actually be thanking us for having moved very swiftly to sort out transport problems in that place. I am sure if you check with the people on the ground, they will not want to hear of relocation. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my learned friend knows that when I last attempted to answer a supplementary question from him, both of us agreed to visit view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, my good friend and old boy of Kitui School has done me proud. I can understand why hon. Members do not want to discuss matters relating to prisons. It is the last place that one wants to visit. But I think it is important because we are discussing the plight of citizens of this country, who are currently resident in our prison institutions. Therefore, I consider this a very important matter. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was just responding to hon. Olago. I had said that Kodiaga Prison will receive very special consideration. Already, we have actually set up a meeting where we are going to discuss, in some greater detail, what we will do at Kodiaga Prison. My friend, the Minister for Medical Services, has actually agreed with me that in Kodiaga and Kamiti prisons, we need fully-fledged district hospitals in order to deal with the plight of some of the inmates who become sick because of the large population. view
• 26 Nov 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the programmes initiated by my predecessor, Uncle Moody, have actually been intensified. Wherever we go, of course, we do receive requests for several of those things, including television sets. But when we took over, we realized that we had a problem, for instance, with bucket toilets, which is what prison officers were using in several of our institutions. We have now gotten rid of those. We also realized that inmates were using pieces of mattresses as well as blankets as toilet paper when they were in custody. All those things are now history. As I said, we ... view
