• 21 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have mentioned here that I will investigate the matter and if, indeed, it is true that they are being referred elsewhere, that borders on inefficiency of that officer. In the meantime, I will try and get the services of that particular police station to include his place. view

• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did mention here that the family members should now pursue these cases with the Department of Pensions at the Treasury. If they have any problems, they can always come to my office in order for me to assist them. Since the Assistant Minister, Office of the Deputy Prime Minister and Ministry of Finance is here he can also assist the family members get their money immediately. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are aware that this is not the first case we have. I can only speak to officers falling within my docket. What normally happens is that we try to fast-track the processing of the documents in order for the family members to get payment. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you are also aware that we had already passed a Motion in this House that the Treasury should be fast-tracking the processing of pension. I urge the Treasury to try and assist the family members of the bereaved. As you know, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will try and talk to my colleagues at Treasury to, at least, fast-track the payments for those who are bereaved. I entirely agree with the hon. Member. He is my neighbour and I know he also has the same problem. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know that is not within my docket. Therefore, I will not be able to answer that question as to whether the claims can be transferred to Mombasa or be paid here in Nairobi. However, if the family members pursue the matter and they need any assistance, I am ready to try and assist them at the Treasury. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Ex-Police Constable Stephen Lesiokono of P/No.59882/90006208 was dismissed from the Police Service on 31st October, 1997, following a series of serious disciplinary convictions against him. Indeed, between 23rd September, 1992, and 10th October, 1997, the officer had been convicted with seven different counts of indiscipline on various dates. I wish to table those counts here. It is a big bundle. If the hon. Member goes through it, he will sympathize with this officer. view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: (b) The Force Standing Orders provide that an officer so convicted of an offence against discipline can appeal against such conviction or sentence within seven days from the date of sentence. Although the ex-police constable was informed about his right to appeal within seven days from the date of receipt of the letter of dismissal, he failed to appeal to the Commissioner of Police within seven days as stipulated within the Standing Orders of the Force. He was supposed to appeal to the Commissioner of Police through the Commandant as is required. He did not appeal until 7th December, 2010, ... view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is not a big problem for me. I can do the same to the hon. Member himself or come back to the House after the Appeals Board meets. The Appeals board can sit even next year; you never know! They might even sit in 2013! So, in 2013, I may not be a Member of Parliament, but a Senator or a Governor. So, how can a Governor or a senator come back to this House and then make a--- view
• 20 Jul 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no need of giving me two weeks! If the Board sits today, I can give the report tomorrow! view
