• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, just as I mentioned, we are not discriminating. By 31st October, 2011, which is next Monday, we are going to have a meeting with all members from that area in Nanyuki, to discuss the way forward and how we are going to disarm those who have not been disarmed. Equally, we had also agreed in many other forums that those areas where disarmament had already been effected, we vet the Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) and appoint them to safeguard the interests of those who are there. I have not lost sight of that. I will continue vetting ... view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did mention in my Statement that Ngarimara lies under Igembe Police Division which is Igembe District but geographically it is near Isiolo District. Therefore, administratively it falls under Igembe South District. We had a delegation recently asking the same question on where they belong. I want to say here that administratively, it falls under Igembe South District. Mr. Speaker, Sir, right now, we have taken the Rapid Deployment Unit (RDUs) to Ngarimara. I think what was happening there has gone down because of the presence of the RDUs in that particular area. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true I did not capture that. He was asking whether we should return those people to where they came from. Yes, that is exactly what we will do. In order for us to have peace, we are going to return those people to their original homes. We will also agree on the modalities and the way forward when we meet in Nanyuki on the 31st. Thank you. view

• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Ojode, I am being told that there has been a boundary problem which will be sorted out by the Commission.

• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: That notwithstanding, I have been informed that when my substantive Minister visited the area yesterday, he agreed with the area leaders, with whom he met, that they were going to come up with a police station within Ngarimara. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: I will leave the issue of the boundary of the county councils to the electoral and boundaries review commission to determine. In the meantime, I will consult with the Minister in charge of local authorities to tell us where the councillors belong to. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on this particular one, you will agree with me that boundaries do not fall under my docket. Councillors also do not fall under my docket. Let them come up with anything to do with security. I am dealing with security issues, and not whether the councillor comes from one side or the other, or whether the boundary is on one side or the other. That is not within my docket. view
