• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have been asked a lot of questions, including how the Government can come in and help those who have a lot of money to managed it. I will give you an example. I went to school in the United States of America (USA). Suppose you win a lottery, which is the equivalent of the Kenya Charity Sweepstake, the Government in the USA will hire for you an accountant and a manager. That goes to the concerns raised by the hon. Member. It is, indeed, important for the Government to assist those who make money, maybe, ... view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Eng. Maina asked whether the police arrived at the scene immediately. In my Statement, I mentioned that after having a bitter exchange with her late husband, Triza left and started calling both relatives and the police. In fact, the police arrived immediately. This man’s house has a gate. It is not a house where you can just walk in and walk out. So, those who arrived first had to seek permission for the gate to be opened, and they had to stay within the compound. Again, they came together with the relatives--- view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is something which the hon. Member is not talking about. First of all, the late Wanjiru was a member of the Police Service. He was our colleague. So, when Triza called the police, the policemen arrived immediately. What I am saying is that it is us who are pained more, because we have lost somebody who was giving the police a lot of fame. view
• 19 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, to answer all the questions that have been asked by my colleagues, I mentioned here that I was giving the House a preliminary report. I do not want to give contradictory statements, because doing so will prejudice the ongoing investigations. So, for those who want to know more about this incident, they can be asking me about it quietly, although I will be updating the House on the progress of the investigations. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)The Miscellaneous Civil Application No.673 of 2005 in the High Court of Kenya sitting at Nairobi in which Joseph Mburu and others filed contempt proceedings against the Commissioner of Police and others on two occasions were dismissed; one on a technicality and the other was stood over generally to await determination of an appeal filed in the Court of Appeal and conclusion of the criminal cases pending before court. It is worth noting here that no injunction was issued vide this Miscellaneous Civil Application which I wish to table. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: The parcel of land in question is subject to various cases pending in court and thus it would be sub judice to comment or reveal details of the same in the House. (b)The Government will not compensate the applicants while there are pending court cases. view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, while I appreciate the tabling of some documents by my friend, hon. Imanyara, he was short of tabling also a ruling which was made by Judge R.V.P Wendo on 1st February, 2010. I would want to give an extract from that ruling. It says: “I decline to grant the leave sought in the Chamber summons dated 9th October, 2009. The same can only be made after determination of the appeal.” Mr. Speaker, Sir, it goes on to say: “The respondents have also raised the issue of their pending cases in Court CRC1738/08 in which the first, third ... view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it goes on to say: “The said case is yet to be heard and determined, although this court granted an order or prohibition. In light of the intended appeal and the fact that there is a court order, which is, CRC1738/08, this court cannot ignore the existence of that case.” view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it looks like my honourable friend does not have that one. It also says:- view
• 18 May 2011 in National Assembly: “The respondents were once represented by counsel in the application before Dulo J. Mr. Speaker, Sir, they are represented here and aware of the court order of 2nd May, 2009. It says: “It is worth noting for the reasons that the court has considered above, the respondents should have been asked to comply with the order of 2nd May, 2009, prohibiting them from interference with the land. However, in light of what I have considered above, the applicants are not deserving of leave at this stage. Leave can only be considered after determination of the appeal and the criminal case ... view
