• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, they have suggested that we beef up security by posting more security personnel to that area. They also requested that we avail another vehicle to help in patrolling the area. We are considering those requests. We are in the process of purchasing vehicles. We are also in the process of distributing what we had already bought. So, we will intensify security operations within that area. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will issue a statement with regard to the KTN story, which I think will also touch on this particular case. As of now, I have no details which I can give to the effect that this particular officer was heading an investigation. I do not want to mislead this House and I will never mislead this House. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are going to intensify patrols, both foot and vehicular. Kerugoya Police Station is very near to Kaitheri. So, if there is need, the District Commissioner’s (DC’s) security team will advise us so that we take the necessary action. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will recall that I had already answered this Question but I was challenged to show the actual location of the police stations, police posts and police camps. I wish to state that we have police stations at Shauri Moyo, Kamukunji and Pangani. We have police posts and bases at California, Muoroto and Eastleigh. We have Administration Police (AP) Camps at Pumwani, Biafra, Kiambio, Bahati, Eastleigh North, Airbase, Muthurwa, and Muoroto. The number of officers currently stationed at various police stations, posts, patrol bases and the AP camps will not be availed due to security reasons. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know what the hon. Member is saying because I recently upgraded Pangani Police Station to a fully fledged police division. When I asked him he said, “Yes, I am aware that we have a police division”. Eastleigh Patrol Base is situated within Eastleigh Section III whereas Muthurwa Police Patrol Base is situated within Railways Junior Staff Quarters next to Muthurwa market. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not know if my friend is a foreigner in his own constituency. That is why I have given him the places where the stations are! view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was just suggesting that maybe the hon. Member does not visit some of these areas. However, I have mentioned where the Eastleigh Patrol Base is, that is, in Eastleigh Section III. It is also very simple because Eastleigh is just a stone’s throw away from Parliament. I could give him patrol vehicles with police officers so that he can be taken to all the places. He needs to acquaint himself with the areas where I have police stations so that if he has a problem next time, he can easily visit those police stations. Mr. ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is ready to protect the people in Eastleigh. However, let me refer you to the Question. It states thus: “(a) Is the Minister aware that cases of armed robberies, violent attacks, gang activities and muggings have doubled in Kamukunji Constituency in the recent past? (c) Could the Minister consider increasing police posts, police patrols and visibility in the constituency, especially in the most affected areas of Eastleigh, Pumwani and Muthurwa?” He has not said “Eastleigh North”. I have said that I have police stations in those areas. I also said that we have AP ... view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will consider especially the ones of Eastleigh Section III, that is, Eastleigh North. I will consider that. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I used to live in Eastleigh also at Munyonyo Road and so I know Eastleigh very well. However, I will consider beefing up security within Garissa Lodge and its environs in order to protect the businessmen there. view
• 16 Nov 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have any problem with that. I can go with some of my friends including Mr. Keynan on Thursday morning, that is, tomorrow. view
