• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the structures at Ng'omwet Trading Centre were not adequate and the land did not belong to the Government. It, therefore, became necessary to move the police station. Kipsitet Trading Centre is only three kilometres from Ng'omwet Trading Centre. Therefore, the latter and the surrounding areas are adequately served from Kipsitet Trading Centre. Once the co-operative society and the Government agree on the ownership of land, we will gazette Kipsitet Police Post. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not in the business of teaching anybody here. I am just answering the Question asked by the hon. Member. The police post in Kipsitet is situated in a strategic place and it is able to serve the area. The hon. Member did not ask about cattle rustling in his Question. So, I would advise Capt. Nakitare to ask that Question and we will answer it. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is still situated on private land, but the co-operative society is ready to hand it over to the Government. Once that is finalised, we will gazette the police post. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we cannot force the private owner of the land in Ng'omwet to give it to the Government. But if the hon. Member is prepared to help us to negotiate, we are ready to transfer the police post. The land which we are in the process of acquiring is the one at Kipsitet, which is owned by the co-operative society. But if the owner of the land at Ng'omwet Trading Centre is ready to give it to the Government, we are ready to move the police post there. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Magdalena Kamene Mutuku was burnt to death on 25th November, 2003, in Ngecha Village, Kiambu District. An inquest file No.1/2003 and case file No.7/2006 have been opened to ascertain the cause of the fire. (b) The cause of the fire has not been established and, therefore, the question of compensation at this particular stage has not been finalised. Until we are able to know what exactly caused the fire, we cannot conclusively give an answer to the question of compensation. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, an inquest file has been forwarded to the office of the Attorney-General for advice on the inquest. So, I cannot give the exact date when the hearing will start. view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the investigations that have been done do not indicate any foul play. This is because the fire took place in a private house. It may have been an accident. So far investigations do not indicate that anybody could have been criminally responsible for this fire. The inquest is basically a routine whenever the cause of death is not known conclusively. Clearly, there is no indication of any criminal responsibility on the part of either the house owner or the house help. This lady was the house help, who was working in the house at that ... view
• 6 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, if I may give more facts on this matter, the owner of the house lost two children in this fire. These children were under the care of the house help. So, the issue of the AG being fired by the President does not arise. So many inquest files pass through the AG and are processed. The hon. Member knows of the limitations of the staff in the AG's office and the workload that is involved. view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday 29th November, 2006, Hon. M.Y. Haji rose of on a point of order seeking a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Administration and National Security regarding what he alleged to be harassment of herdsmen in Voi. I wish to state as follows: On 24th November, 2006, the General Service Unit (GSU) officers from Mackinon Base Camp in Kwale District left for routine patrol at Kuranze area. While on their way, one Mr. Abdi Bisseli, informed the patrol commander that his land had been invaded by illegal herdsmen. On visiting the farm, the commander ... view
• 5 Dec 2006 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have not admitted that the GSU were involved in the burning of any makeshift shelters. I am saying that when the police visited the scene some makeshift manyattas had been burnt. The police are investigating the incident. It may have been done by the owner of the ranch, who was not happy with herders herding animals in his ranch, or by anybody else. But it was not done by the police. We are asking the gentleman who was at the scene, who is called Mohamed, to report to the police to help in the investigations. view
