• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: December 6, 2006 PARLIAMEANTARY DEBATES 4201 Mr. Speaker, Sir, I also have documents from the Commissioner of Lands explaining the situation. However, that is not the issue because we are not trying to sort out the dispute as to who owns the land here. The police went there to prevent a fight between the committee and the person who had bought the plot from the NSSF. In the second incident, the committee mobilised the parents, the students and the teachers of the school to march to State House. The police went to stop them from carrying out that demonstration. The ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that there have been several cases of robbery reported in Kerugoya/Kutus Constituency leading to the death of four people. (b) The police have taken the following measures to curb insecurity in the area: Patrols by combined force of Administration Police (AP) and Kenya Police have been intensified in all urban centres within the constituency in addition to Flying Squad personnel from Karatina and Makuyu who have also been deployed to the area. The Embu Highway Patrol Unit is also assisting to man the Embu/Makutano Road. Those incidents took place ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that some police officers were implicated by the suspects who were arrested. Those police officers were interdicted and investigations are going on to establish whether it is true they were involved in crime. If we get evidence to establish that they were involved in crime, they will never see another day in the police force. Right now, these are only allegations and they are being investigated and those officers are already on interdiction. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you trust the police to fight crime, then you must also be able to trust them to fight any form of crime, whether it is within the police force itself or anywhere else. In fact, it is the same police force which has interdicted them. So, that already shows that the police can investigate themselves. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, those police officers are on interdiction and senior police officers who are not based in Kirinyaga District are involved in the investigations to find out whether, indeed, they were involved in crime. If it is established that they were involved in crime, then the necessary action will be taken. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that no recruitment has been undertaken for both the Kenya Police Service and the Kenya Army at Garba-Tulla Sub-District Headquarters in Isiolo District. This is because the recruitment for police and army officers is normally done at district headquarters throughout the country. This is done to ensure that potential recruits from all the divisions within a district are accorded a fair chance for interviews. In this case, the recruitment of police and army officers in Isiolo District is done at the district headquarters in Isiolo Town. However, the recruitment ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the information which I have, and which is very reliable, is that recruitment for regular police officers is done at district headquarters, but the recruitment of Administration Police officers has been taken to the sub-district level because we have enough manpower to assist in that exercise. We do not have any plans to review that decision because we think it is fair as it gives everybody within the district a chance to be recruited to serve in the police service. 4204 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES December 6, 2006 view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am prepared to go and check that information to find out whether there were any special circumstances that required the police force to give that constituency an exception during the recruitment. If those special circumstances will be obtained in Garba-Tulla, then we will also be prepared to give Garba-Tulla those exceptions. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we will take his advice when we are considering the situation. But for now, the point of recruitment of police and army officers remains at the district headquarters. But if there are any special circumstances that allowed the police recruitment to be done in those other areas and if they also obtain in his constituency, we will also take that into account. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that police officers who were stationed at Ng'omwet Trading Centre Police Post in Kericho have been moved to Kipsitet Trading Centre. (b) Kipsitet Police Post is not yet gazetted as the land where it stands belongs to Kipsitet Co-operative Society and the process of handing over the land to the police is ongoing. When complete, the police post will be gazetted. December 6, 2006 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 4165 (c) Ng'omwet Police Post was on private land, and therefore, it was not gazetted. view
