• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have given an answer as far as I understand it.

• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a criminal case where somebody died. Normally, in case of death, it is a matter for the police to take up the investigations and conclude them and not my Ministry. Since it happened outside the area of where my Ministry is responsible, then it was a matter for the Kenya Police to look into. view

• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you read me, I am not getting entangled at all. I said this is a matter for the Kenya Police to investigate.
