• 19 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. On 12th June, 2007, hon. Maj-Gen. Joseph Nkaisserry, the Member of Parliament for Kajiado Central rose on a point of order to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security on the issue of insecurity caused by the Mungiki menace. He wanted to know the root cause of the Mungiki menace, its leadership and given that the Government has the National Security Intelligence Service (NSIS) to provide such intelligence information, what action the Government is taking to ensure that it stamps out this menace and any other insecurity problem ... view

• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that the construction of Migori District Headquarters has stalled for several years. (b) Consultants have now been commissioned to finalise documentation by the end of June, 2007. Tenders for the works are expected to be invited early next Financial Year, 2007/2008. The works are expected to be completed by June, 2009. view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is one of the many projects that stalled and they are usually treated as one group of projects and budgeted for. Sometimes the money is not enough to cover all the projects because they are so many and they require a lot of financial allocation every financial year. I would like to assure my colleague that we will make sure that money is set aside this financial year to ensure that the project takes off. view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, last time, we had projected that we would set aside money for this project in the 2005/2006 Financial Year. In fact, it is the Ministry of Roads and Public Works, and not the Office of the President, that deals with stalled projects. The Ministry of Roads and Public Works normally budgets for these projects and carries out the work. Even the information we are giving here is basically from the Ministry of Roads and Public Public Works. The projects are so many that they may not be completed within one financial year. They have given us an ... view
• 13 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that there are many new districts that are in the process of being created. They will require infrastructure. Some money will be allocated this financial year to help put up the infrastructure. We will not be able to allocate enough money within this financial year to complete all the infrastructure that is required. District headquarters are projects that take time to complete. Last year, we gave Kshs1 million to every new district headquarters to put up something temporary to make them run as we put up permanent structures for them. Communities also come in ... view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that one of the causes of insecurity in the country is the lack of security of tenure for the Commissioner of Police who is in office under Section 108(1) of the Constitution of Kenya. (b) The powers conferred on the Commissioner of Police under Section 5(1) of the Police Act Cap.84 are adequate. Section 5 of Cap.84 vests authority on the Commissioner of Police to issue administrative orders or regulations for the general control, direction and information in the police force. The Commissioner, therefore, has enough latitude under ... view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the question the hon. Member is asking is quite unclear. The security of the job of the Police Commissioner depends on how he discharges his duties. If he is able to discharge his duties adequately and do his work very well, then he has the confidence of the public and the appointing authority. I do not think that giving the Commissioner of Police constitutional protection or security of tenure will necessarily make him perform his duties better. In any case, if you have a Commissioner of Police who has security of tenure, but he is not able ... view
• 12 Jun 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware that any equipment purchased for the police is substandard. The hon. Member should table evidence of that allegation. That is a mere allegation that is not backed by any evidence and should not be made in this House. view
