• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought he wanted to know whether they are there and we have confirmed that they are there. They are not there for political reasons. They are deployed there for security reasons. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the NSIS officers are there to collect information and they have a way of sharing that information with other arms of Government. Once in a while, this information is used in order to arrest such criminals. It may happen that the information comes late and before it is made use of, an incident happens. However, that does not mean that the officers are not doing a commendable job. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, whereas I agree with the hon. Member that there are a number of incidents that have occurred in the country recently, I would like to say that the information that these officers have collected has been used to arrest some of the criminals who have taken part in crime in the areas mentioned. view
• 25 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, I am satisfied and that is why I have said that some of this information has been used in the past to arrest hardcore criminals who have been disturbing innocent citizens. Of course, we will endeavour to improve. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. 780 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES April 19, 2007 (a) I am aware that a gang of people from the Turkana community destroyed some unit huts put up at a disputed border point between West Pokot and Turkana. (b) Following the incident, a report was made at Kapenguria Police Station, vide OB No.7/17/03/2007 and two people were arrested and recorded statements. Inquiry file No.1/2007 was opened and the case is pending under investigation. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have instructed Provincial Commissioner (PC) to convene a meeting of the two communities, in order to resolve that issue and allow us to continue with the construction of a police post. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said earlier that when the incident was reported, investigations were carried out and two people were arrested. Investigations are still going on and we will prefer charges as soon as we are convinced with the evidence that we have. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to believe that a police station or police post should be put up around that area. That is why we have asked the Provincial Commissioner to April 19, 2007 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 781 convene a meeting of the leaders in order to resolve this problem and thus allow us to put up a police station at this point. When this meeting is convened, my appeal to the leaders is to ensure that an amicable solution is arrived at so that we can go on with the construction of the police post. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the incidents which the hon. Members is talking about are even more evidence to show that a police station is required in that place and we have initiated the process of putting up one. It is only the wrangles between those communities that are holding us back. That is why I am saying that if the leaders are called, they should see to it that they arrive at an amicable solution and we will be able to put up that police station as soon as possible. view
• 19 Apr 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will give it the priority that it deserves. view
