• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a) On 7th June, 2011, Mr. David Ngugi Njung’e was subjected to mob injustice within Majengo, Enkare area in Narok Town, on suspicion that he had taken part in the killing of Mr. Boniface Kamau aged 23 years within the same area the previous day. Following the two deaths, police investigations commenced and Narok Police Station file No.781/297/2011 and file No.781/298/2011 were immediately opened. Investigations are ongoing. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (b) I am not aware of such a report of threats made to Narok Police Station on 20th January, 2011 or thereabouts by Joseph Kongo Njung’e. Narok Town, its environment and the rest of the country is under regular patrols on a 24-hour basis by both regular and Administration Police officers. Intelligence information gathering has also been enhanced to ensure safety of all Kenyans and not only within Narok. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there were no reports made to the police. Those who were arrested were people who had been suspected to have lynched the deceased. Investigation is ongoing and I am sure that we are going to get to the bottom of this investigation. We will arrest those who practice mob injustice and kill innocent Kenyans. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, This is a case which borders on murder and I cannot specifically say that it will be three, four or six months but we are going to try our level best to fast-track the investigations in order for us to get those who were involved. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do agree with the hon. Member on the part of constituting a committee to do civic education but I do not entirely agree with him that the police are lax resulting in these mob injustice. Within the police reforms, we have actually zeroed in on a committee which is going to carry out civic education to view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: That will help ordinary Kenyans to know their rights. I hope that once we get the funds, we will start doing civic education. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, no Kenyan is allowed to take the law into his own hands, whether to a witchdoctor or not. There are channels which you can use to get justice. The law is very clear that you are not allowed to kill fellow Kenyans and that if you are angered by anybody, the only thing you can do is to go to court. We are not going to allow those who are killing in the pretext of mob injustice. We are not going to accept that. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have actually investigated about 12 people and they have recorded statements. We are zeroing in on those who participated in this heinous act. So far, we have not arrested those who participated because investigations are ongoing. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, we do not have illegal gangs. You are aware that we passed the Organized Crimes Bill. So, if there is any gang masquerading as legal or illegal, that in itself is against the law. If you can prove to me that there is an illegal gang which is killing people, we will definitely take action by arresting them and taking them to court. The law is very clear! view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
