• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have taken cognizance of the concerns raised by the Member. I just wish to draw the attention of the House to the fact that one of the main problems we are encountering in this area is that it is now almost five years ago since these offences were committed. Most people, as we recall in the most seriously affected areas, have moved and it has been very difficult to trace them. The personnel investigating these offences have also moved to new stations. I want to assure the House that on our part, we take ... view

• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thank the Member for that observation. As he is aware, the Police Force and the investigation arm of the Government are within another Ministry. I will advise the Ministry of the necessity to expedite these investigations and make more manpower available for these investigations. I will also seek to remind the Members that the authority to prosecute now is with an independent Director of Public Prosecutions and all I can do from time to time is to share with him the anxiety of the Government that cases should move expeditiously. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have placed before the House the cases that were brought to my attention. I am not surprised that there are no rape cases in this list because of the nature of the violence that we are dealing with; the period it occurred and the circumstances in which it occurred. Offences of sexual nature require that certain procedures be undertaken both at the police station, at the dispensaries and in post reporting period. Most of the sexual assault cases are reported here as assault and grievous harm. view
• 23 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy to report that this is one area where our reform initiatives are already bearing fruits. The Chief Justice and the Judicial Service Commission, where it is my privilege to serve as a member, have over the last two months employed a very large number of judges. I think there were 50 judges and 200 magistrates. In another two weeks, we will be hiring another 15 Judges of the Court of Appeal. The Members should take comfort in the fact that the Judiciary is in a reform mood and delays in cases will ... view
