• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I can see there is a big concern with regard to what is happening in Isiolo. However, as I mentioned, my Minister was in Isiolo together with the Permanent Secretary, regarding the same problems. Fortunately, he is also here with me. If I miss out something which they ordered there, he could stand on a point of information as usual to inform me of what I may have missed out. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Karua sought to know whether the Government is able to control the bandits. Yes. We are able to control the bandits. The presence of the Government in that particular region is why we are not having occurrences on a daily basis. They come after, maybe, after four weeks, a month and half and so on. I want to assure the hon. Members from that particular area that the Government is controlling the bandits within that area. The Government’s presence is and will be felt within that area. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a very sensitive matter. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reasons why I have quite a number of GSU officers stationed in those insecurity prone areas is as a result of what has been happening. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, allow me to reply to the concern of hon. Affey. He said people in Isiolo are living in fear. He wanted also to know how many animals have been recovered. I did mention in my statement, that yes, some raid was done and we recovered the stolen animals. If I may give him the date, I mentioned that on 16th July at Burat area, a total of 270 goats were stolen. We recovered 199 goats and arrested two suspected who were later charged in the court of law. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is a grave matter. However, we have instructed the police officers to go out there to guard those who have their animals. If there is anything which is stolen from these herders, they must recover the animals. My officers are doing this very well. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. Bahari was asking how many people have been affected by these raiders and what assistance have been given. A number of these fellows have been affected, because their animals are being stolen. The question of what kind of assistance we have given can only be answered, when we have something substantive that we want the Government to assist us on. As at now, we have not received any kind of request--- view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as we are concerned, in fact, I have just consulted even with the substantive Minister, we have never received any requests on what they want the Government to assist them with. Maybe, if he has any request, he can bring it along so that it can be considered, along with others. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, hon. M.M. Ali asked about the disarmament which is being done in some areas, while leaving out other areas. We are not discriminating on disarmament. The operation had been ordered and then later on you saw what was happening. We had to remove some of our officers from the operation in order to tackle some emerging issues. view
