• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am willing to accompany Mr. Imanyara and the other Members of Parliament to take me to where those people are keeping the illegal firearms. In any case, I want to assure this House that if, indeed, there is something like that, I will arrest them on the spot. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir, let me assure this House that I will visit those areas, but in the meantime, for Tigania, we have the police who are going to mop up the illegal firearms which are there. For Mutitu, if I am welcomed by the hon. Member, I am able to accompany him there. When I go there, I will be accompanied with a squad to arrest those people who possess illegal firearms. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said and I want to repeat in this House that we are going to mop up all the illegal firearms within this country starting with Tigania. In the process, innocent Kenyans will not suffer any loss. For those who do not want to surrender the illegal guns they are holding, we will forcefully take them. view
• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I believe that he knows how the Government works.

• 26 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the security personnel managed to get hold of one who is now in hospital. Already, we have security personnel waiting for him to be discharged.

• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I spoke to the Questioner and we have agreed that we defer the Question for two weeks. This is because there are some new developments taking place. view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Wednesday, 20th April Mr. Affey, a nominated Member of Parliament rose on a point of order requesting for a Ministerial Statement on the upcoming police recruitment. In the Statement, he sought clarification on the number of candidates to be recruited in each county or constituency, minimum academic requirements for each county or constituency or region and measures being taken to ensure fairness and accountability in the exercise. Further, Mrs. Odhiambo-Mabona, a nominated Member of Parliament sought clarification on what the Government was doing to cushion members of public from fraudsters purporting to be able ... view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are going to recruit police constables and those with a minimum of C (Plain) must be taken. In the event that there are no candidates with C (Plain), for example, in North Horr, that quota must be filled. In the process, we will go for C- (Minus), which is the next grade. I am doing this because there are certain areas where you will not get the required mean grade of C (Plain). However, the recruits must possess the Kenya Certificate for Secondary Education (KCSE) certificate. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on measures taken ... view
• 21 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I agree with the concerns raised by the Members of Parliament. However, they have to bear in mind the fact that there are some marginalized communities who must also be accommodated in the recruitment in public service.

So, there is nothing wrong with some of them taking the larger share because what is remaining is also being ... view
