• 17 Sep 2013 in Senate: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to support the Motion as amended and congratulate Sen. (Dr.) Zani for bringing it. This is because it really touches the core of our mandate which is to represent the interests of the counties and their governments. This Motion is important because it now gives us the tools with which we can effectively gauge the performance of our counties. That way, we can work on an informed position when we are defending them. I support the amendment, but I hope that at a certain stage, this will not only apply to the county governments, but ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to thank the Chairman for the answer given although it is not satisfactory in some areas. The number of cases that have been listed is 31. In all those incidents people lost lives. I realize that in almost all the cases, investigations are still going on. I want to know whether the security arm of the Government in capable of carrying out credible investigations. If they are not able to do it, what is the problem? Why are they not able to do it? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also did ask if fullyfledged police stations could be established at Saboti Centre and Kiminini. These police stations would cater for the whole constituencies. I am asking this because Muroki area, where five people were killed in one night, is just about two-and-a-half kilometres from Saboti Police Post. From the information that we have, there were only three police officers at the police post at the time of the crime. Even as the gunshots were sounding, the police officers were not able to go there because they do not have motor vehicles. Since they were ... view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when will these police stations at Saboti and Kiminini be established? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I also want clarification as to why the police are not able to carry out forensic testing to determine the crimes. I know that in most of the cases, cartridges were recovered. What is the need of recovering cartridges and you cannot ascertain who the criminals were? view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, also I did ask about the motive of the crimes. Were they just ordinary robberies or was it political or tribal clashes? I need that clarification because when left like that, people are not sure what the case could be. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the people of Trans Nzoia County, and, indeed, all over Kenya, are living in fear. Just the other week, in the neighbouring County of Bungoma, there was a similar incident where somebody was killed. I need clarification so that our people can live in peace. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I thank Sen. Haji for responding about the police stations. However, there were issues I raised on forensic investigations which he has not reacted to. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was a time we were told in this country that they will put up a forensic laboratory. When are we going to get a forensic laboratory so that it can assist the police? Secondly, there is the issue of criminals on bond. view
• 31 Jul 2013 in Senate: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is court bond. It seems to be an issue because some of these criminals are said to be out on bond and are committing crimes. Could he clarify whether that is an issue? I also sought the motive because we need to set the record straight so that there is no doubt as to whether it was a mere criminal act or were there other motives? view
