• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, normally our procedure is that we co-ordinate with the area OCPD to look at the structures that have been put in place to see if they are of the standards that we require. So, if the hon. Member has a specific police post that he requires to be gazetted as a police post he can come forward and we will look at it. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even if we have an administration block it will not be enough. We need some houses where the police can sleep. So, if the hon. Member is prepared to do that work, we are ready to gazette it as a police post. If he does not have any resources to do that, we can wait until we have enough resources to do that ourselves. Certainly, if he were to put up those facilities as we had discussed, we are ready to gazette the police post. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, even policemen sleep. I do not think they are barred from sleeping when they are not working. They usually plan their work so that some are on duty while 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 26, 2007 others are sleeping, resting or relaxing if that is what the hon. Member likes. Use of semantics is not the issue here. view
• 26 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am in order because, in order for a police post to be gazetted, there must be some structures for them to sleep in. An administration block by itself cannot qualify to be a police post. There must be houses where they can sleep. That is why, right now, it is a patrol base. Once we get money we can do that then we will be able to upgrade it. Right now we cannot gazette it as a police post until those structures are put in place. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that on 9th June, 2007, at 8.18 p.m., a telephone call was received at Malaba Police Station that there was shooting at Amani Market, which is one kilometre away from Malaba Police Station. Police officers on routine patrol rushed to the scene and found out that a robbery had taken place and the body of one adult male by the name Richard Elibo was found at the scene. Investigations immediately commenced. Three suspects have been arrested and are helping the police with investigations. (b) I am not aware that ... view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to regulations, ordinarily, police officers are supposed to stay in one station for a maximum of three years. If the hon. Member gives us information as to whether there are particular officers who have overstayed in those stations, we will transfer them. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are aware that because of the intensified crackdown in Nairobi, some criminals have retreated to their home regions. We are pursuing them there and we will smoke them out of those places. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Government has endeavoured to improve the capacity of the police to respond to crime. Indeed, very few police stations now do not have vehicles. The Government has been purchasing vehicles for the police and we are continuing to do that. We want to make sure that every police station has, at least, one vehicle in working condition to assist the police to do their work. The situation is better than it used to be. view
• 20 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that kind of information is alarming if there are guns being brought into the country. I am taking that information seriously. We will investigate to find out whether really there are guns being brought into Kenya through Malaba and we will take the necessary action. 1920 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES June 20, 2007 view
