• 19 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the ASTU camp is not at Onywongo, I will make sure that a camp is set up at that place. I want to assure the hon. Member that I will try to have this camp at Onywongo Market this week. view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Adikadir Mohammed Hassan was dismissed from the Police Service with effect from 19th February, 2008. (b) Abdikadir Mohammed Hassan was dismissed from the service following serious disciplinary proceedings after he absented himself from duty for 48 days without reasonable cause. Before the disciplinary action, he was involved in a road accident along Kiserian-Magadi Road on 24th March, 2007 while travelling in a vehicle GK A500E. He sustained a cut on the forehead and a pelvic injury. He was admitted at Kenyatta National Hospital and was discharged on ... view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, disciplinary action was not just taken because he left to go to hospital. If you allow me, let me give my friend here the chronology of the events or the background of that particular officer. On 21st October, 2007 at about 19.15 hours at GSU Turkwell Camp in West Pokot District in Rift valley, the ex-constable absented himself without leave for a period of 10 days. He entered plea of guilt and he was convicted and sentenced to a fine of Kshs3,917. He accepted that one. Between11th November at about 08.00 hours and 29th November 2007 at ... view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, I can share the information with him because there is nothing I am hiding. This is the whole truth. If I would have been able to assist, I would. But my hands are tied because of the disciplinary record of the officer. view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. Thank you. view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I mentioned here that the officer was not dismissed because he was in the hospital. I said that the officer had absented himself for 48 days. I also mentioned that he was a deserter for 21 days. In a disciplined force, you are not allowed to desert even for two days. That is because we do not know whether you are a criminal or whether you have gone to carry out criminal activities. This is a disciplined force and so, we cannot allow such cases. We also go by the standing orders of the Police Force. view
• 14 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I would not say that because he deserted. I would not know whether he was able to walk or not. However, if you want me to find out now that he is an ex-constable, I can still do the same. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am aware that Illeret and Sabarek police posts in North Horr District are in a deplorable condition and the officers working in those posts lack office and residential accommodation. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: (b) Owing to the current state of disrepair in the two police posts, the Ministry has already requested an allocation of Kshs4,132,900 in the coming financial year which, if granted, will be used to rehabilitate the buildings in the two posts. Further, as a long term strategy, there are plans to put up modern station buildings and housing units at both police posts. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that the houses are in a deplorable condition. You will also agree with me that in 2006, I allocated Kshs500,000 for repairs. As if that was not enough, in 2007, I allocated Kshs800,000 for repairs. In the other year, 2009, I also gave an allocation of Kshs500,000 for repair purposes. We are running away from the repairs because it is becoming an expensive venture. We want to do a fresh infrastructure by allocating Kshs4.2 million. He should thank me for pushing for Kshs4.2 million so that my officers live in good housing ... view
