• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the whole exercise has not stalled. We want to come up with the best. For those that are being vetted, it is in order for us to go for the best because we are going to give them guns. I would not want a situation where we give guns to criminals. So, if we can take some time within a month or so, I will finish the exercise and give you really good police officers in the name of KPRs. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm here that all divisions within the country have APs. It is not only within divisions. It trickles down all the way up to the locations, which are manned by chiefs. Hon. Olago will agree with me because he knows that he has APs within his location. view
• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that we are mopping up all illegal guns and, at the same time, we are recruiting and vetting KPRs. We must provide security. But what I hate to see is where we fast-track the recruitment of KPRs and then we end up with criminals.

• 28 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir that is not a big problem for me. I want to assure the Questioner that where there are no APs, he will have them. It is our duty to provide security in each and every division. The whole thing will trickle down all the way to the chief’s camps. view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. I think we should take this House seriously. We must account for everything that we say. The fact that there are Indians in Diamond Plaza, Westlands, does not mean that those who are occupying the offices of the Department of Immigration are selling work permits. Would I be in order to ask the hon. Member to substantiate the allegation? view
• 27 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Wait a second! Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, would I be in order to ask him to name the people who are selling the work permits? view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that four people were killed near 78 Tank Battalion Military Camp on 24th February at Kisima Village, Ngarimara Location, Muthaara Division of Tigania East District.

A police criminal case File No.472/84/2011 was opened. (b) The Government is not aware of any herdsmen ... view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are talking about Tigania. We are not talking about Mutito. The Question is very clear. It is asking whether I am aware that within the grazing zones in Tigania, there are those who are carrying illegal firearms. I have said that I am not aware because right now, we have a team of police officers who are going to mop up the illegal firearms within the Tigania grazing zones. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that the DCs are aware of those who are licensed to carry firearms. We have two categories here; there are those who are licensed to carry firearms---- view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir, there are those who are licensed to carry firearms and there are those who may be having firearms illegally. Those illegal firearm owners will be arrested and taken to court. I have said that there is no single person who is openly carrying a firearm without a license in Tigania. view
