• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have charged the four officers with being idle and negligent in the performance of their duty, which is contrary to Regulation 3, Sub- Regulation 24 of the Police Regulations. The reason why I cannot charge these officers with murder--- view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, it is true that they have been charged under the Police Act Orderly Room Procedures. However, I cannot charge them with murder because they did not murder. Secondly, we have charged them because they should not have taken the deceased to the cells when he was drunk. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have very good leads which we are exploring. We have identified those who actually fought this particular gentleman. We will charge the two fellows who actually fought the deceased. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am hearing that one for the first time. If the hon. Member wants to help me, let him get the names of the police officers who assaulted this gentleman. The two fellows whose names came up, we have arrested them. We are investigating them. However, if there is any name of any police officer, I would be very much willing to take action. Could I, please, have the names? view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have not established the motive behind it. The only thing we know is that there was a commotion within the cells and they fought this particular gentleman. The teacher was a sick person even before he was arrested and taken to the cells. Those are some of the reports which we are awaiting. We will know whether the assault was done in the cells or before he was arrested. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that this particular Question had been dealt with. We were supposed to go with Questioner to the police station in order to direct the police to have this particular division to handle matters coming from the constituency other than referring them to Nairobi, Kasarani. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have done very well with him. We have agreed in principle. We saw the Director of the Operations. They will deal with matters related to the constituency other than taking them to Kasarani. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had directed the Director of Operations to deal with this matter immediately. The hon. Member is also aware because when I gave that directive we were together with him. As the Assistant Minister in charge of Internal Security, I gave directions. My directives will be worked on very soon. The Director of Operations is out of the country; when he comes back, he will implement what he had been directed to do. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, when a Minister gives directives, they are normally acted upon immediately. However, this one escaped the immediate action because the Director is out of the country. Let me assure this House that once he jets in the country, he will definitely enforce it. view
• 24 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could we talk of two weeks or three weeks from now? view
