• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: She raised an alarm which attracted one Michael Mwangu Njuguna, who rushed to her rescue. Unfortunately on his way, he came across the three gangsters who shot him dead. Shortly thereafter, the same gang confronted four boda boda operators who were coming from Kimbimbi Hospital after visiting a colleague, who had earlier been involved in an accident. The gang shot them dead and robbed them of mobile phones and their two motor cycles, which they used to escape. The four are the following: Benard Murimi Waweru aged 21 years, Francis Tewa Kega aged 27 years, Samuel Chomba Maria aged 26 ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed this is a very grave matter. For Ms. Karua, the Assistant Chief was suspended as a result of these kinds of incidents. I want to assure this House that I am going to look into this matter in order for us to either fast-track the disciplinary case against the Assistant Chief, reinstate him or go for a new Assistant Chief. It is true that there are some cases which have not been resolved as a result of lack of leads. We are going to ask the PCIO together with the DCIO, to resolve some ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did. I can repeat what I said. I said that we are in the process of buying some vehicles. In the areas where the DCIOs do not have vehicles, we will make sure that they have them in order for them to--- view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I can only be accurate once I have been given money. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you know, I have to give hope. I cannot say that I will give the vehicle tomorrow and yet, the money has not been released by the Treasury. However, I do sympathize with my colleague’s sentiment. I confirm here that I will give priority to the larger Kirinyaga County because of the incidences of murder. The insecurity in that area was a bit high then but with the meager resources which we have had, we have brought it down ... view

• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Thursday, 7th April, 2011, the hon. Member for Gwassi constituency, while standing on a point of order requested for a Ministerial Statement on requirement for production of certificate of good conduct, during regular and administration police recruitments. He sought clarification on how the applicant would be facilitated in case it was going to be a final requirement, given that the issuance is centralized in Nairobi. Further, he wanted the Minister to clarify whether he was aware that it costs Kshs1,000 and why was this burden being transferred to job seekers. view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply as follows. After consultations, a decision has been made that a re-advertisement be done in the local dailies to revoke the requirement of production of certificate of good conduct at the recruitment centres, among other requirements. However, vetting of the recruits will be done, at the police training institutions at no cost to the recruits by taking their fingerprints or thumbprint, which will be forwarded to the Principal Criminal Registrar at the CID headquarters for verification and search. If, during the search, any recruit is found to have a criminal record, ... view
• 13 Apr 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me start with the clarification sought by Mrs. Shebesh. I said clearly that for purposes of recruitment on 27th April, 2011, having a certificate of good conduct will not be mandatory. However, once we have the recruits, upon reaching the college, their fingerprints will be taken and they will be vetted. In case we find out that we recruited a criminal, that criminal will be sent home. This will be after we have taken the fingerprints. view
