• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Similarly, I want to say here that although investigations are still being carried out, in the event that there is any laxity on the part of the police, I want to assure this House that I will do exactly the same thing I did in Eldoret. That will include Webuye, Bungoma and Kakamega. So, be sure that if there is any laxity on the part of the police, I will exactly do the same. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I mentioned that this is just a preliminary investigation report which I wanted to give. I also wanted to assure the residents of Webuye and Bungoma that some action is being taken. Mr. Sambu wanted me to confirm when the final report will be available and whether the sniffer dogs were taken to the site. First, the sniffer dogs have been taken there.

• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that maybe the police were scared that the fellows were armed. I did not say that they were scared because my officers cannot be scared. How can they be scared and yet they had the firearms with them? I plead with my colleagues to support the police so that we can arrest and get the criminals or thugs out of the society. Let us support the initiative of the police. I am sure that the rate of crime even in Vihiga has gone down. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: But there is no problem in Gwassi! So, what is the hon. Member’s point of order? view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to conclude by saying that this is a very serious issue and should not be taken as a political matter. Let us not gamble with the life of Kenyans. I will protect Kenyans to get security all the time. view
• 3 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I will update the House as and when I get some useful information. I do not want to say that it will be tomorrow, the day after tomorrow or next week. However, once I get something tangible--- view
