• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: (a) A total of five homicide cases have been reported to the police. (b) To enhance security in the area, joint foot and mobile patrols comprising of regular and Administration Police have been enhanced. In addition, Kenya Police Reservists (KPRs) have been recruited and are currently undergoing orientation to boost security in the area. Two motor vehicles; GK A626G from Kapcherop Police Station and GK A508S from Kapsowar are being used to police that particular area. (c) Plans are underway to establish a police dog unit in both stations in Kapsowar and Kapcherop. A building plan and design for a ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that one vehicle has some minor problems. We needed to replace the bushes because of the terrains. We have so far replaced the arm bushes, both shock absorber bushes and those other bushes which are required in a Land Rover. But I want to say that if the vehicle is still not in a working condition, I would request the Questioner to come to my office so that I can check what happened to the money that we gave for the replacement of the bushes. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, whether it is in Marakwet, Ol Kalou, Kisumu West or East, it is against the law; it is not allowed. We are saying that the police will do whatever it takes to bring those people to book. Some of those cartels are being run by those who came out of prisons. But we are trying as much as possible to bring it to a stop. It is good that I have even seen the details of those who have, so far, been involved in that. We have arrested a majority of them and taken them to court. ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as far as I am concerned, there is no evidence at all to show that there is a go-slow in the Police Force. I want to say here that the police officers are doing a good job. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, police officers are doing a good job. In fact, Mr. K. Kilonzo has a security guard who is doing an excellent job to guard him against those who want to attack him. If there is a case where his security man is having a go-slow phobia, he can tell me so that I can replace him immediately. But as far as I am concerned, the police are doing a good job and they will continue doing a good job. While still looking for money - the Kshs2.3 billion to pay for their salary arrears - I believe ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is quite unfortunate that Mr. K. Kilonzo is not aware that we are doing some infrastructure within Nairobi. The traffic jams are as a result of the super highway from Thika to Westlands. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: That does not necessarily mean that the police are on a go-slow. If there is any evidence - although I am saying that we should not incite police officers because they are doing a wonderful job--- If there is an isolated occasion that there is a guard or a security officer who is attached to Mr. K. Kilonzo and who is not doing a good job, he should come and whisper it to me so that I can replace that officer. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware and I have been on record--- I have said and I want to repeat here that those who are holding illegal arms must surrender them to the nearest police station, chief’s camp or assistant chief’s camp. In the event that they do not surrender those illegal arms, as a department, we will do a forceful disarmament. That is because it is dangerous to own a gun. When you own a gun, it means you are a criminal. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you own an illegal gun, you are a criminal. We have allowed people to own guns through a legal channel. We accept and anybody who wants a gun, we will check his background and he will be given a gun legally. But those who own guns illegally, I will not allow them to continue. I will not! view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Kaino can also do us a favour. If he has some small funds within the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) kitty, I would appreciate. If he does that, I will take the dogs there tomorrow. view
