• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is no way I can refuse any money. Right now, I need a lot of money. I need a lot of money for the police reforms. I need money to pay the allowances to the police. I need money to pay salaries; the last batch. I need money to improve police stations. So, as much as I appreciate what Mr. Ogindo is saying, I would request my colleagues to be steadfast in advocating for more funds for the police in order for us to improve their services. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 4th June, 2011, at about 9.30 a.m., the deceased, Boniface Njenga Mweru, in a motor vehicle, KSN 290, a Datsun 1200, yellow in colour, was driving along Githiga-Kiambu Road to his farm. About 500 metres from his home, he stopped to talk to a young girl in school uniform. Soon, a Toyota Prado Registration Number KBL 393X, silver in colour, pulled behind his car. Two men emerged from the car and shot the deceased, killing him instantly at that particular venue. The assailants and the girl escaped in the Prado car ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is fair to say that during investigations, it was also established that the accused had four wives. However, three of them were estranged and the deceased was staying with the youngest wife. Immediately after these, other three wives realized that the former chairman had been killed, they returned home on the same day. So, what I am saying is that the police are investigating possible involvement of the estranged wives in the murder. If there is something which links the three wives to the murder of their husband, we will have no alternative but to arrest ... view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. We have gone even a notch higher. We have a lot of evidence which, of course, I cannot reveal here so as not to compromise the investigation; let it rest there. We are going to arrest people, including the lady we are talking about. Do not worry. Let the police do their work. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you heard me correctly, I said Kenyans should give any information that they might have, and you know my police officers are also Kenyans. They also have bigger constituencies to take care of. They might also hear that this is the lady, or the man, who was involved in the murder. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said here that I have a lot of information, which should not be revealed here. The due process must be followed. We have to allow the due process to take place. We have to allow the investigation to take place in order for us to go for the real person. So, there is no hurry. We have very good leads and you will be seeing us arresting some people, including some of your neighbours. Do not worry. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member knows that that piece of hair can only be taken from the suspect. If that piece of hair is not taken from the suspect, then it becomes very difficult for us to use the forensic technology. I want to say it here again that we have very good leads and we will arrest the suspects. I think the police are doing a good job and sooner rather than later, we will arrest suspects. view
• 2 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have recorded a statement from the eyewitness. I never said that we have not, but the eyewitness gave us some leads which we are following. Do I have to reveal everything here? No, because--- view
