• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a)I am not aware of the increased wave of crime in Vihiga County over the last one month. The crime trend in Vihiga over the last one to three months shows a steady decline as indicated by crime statistics which I have supplied the hon. Member with. I will lay on the Table this for the benefit of those who were not able to see it. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: (b) To reduce crime levels in the county the following measures have been put in place:- (i) Beats and patrols have been stepped up in the vast rural areas within Vihiga County; (ii) Staggered roadblocks are being laid along the Vihiga-Kisumu Road; (iii) Collection and sharing of intelligence has been stepped up, and is being used to track and apprehend suspects involved in criminal activities within that area. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am happy that the crime rate has really gone down. I believe that Mr. Chanzu is happy with what police officers are doing on the ground. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of upgrading Mudete Police Post to a fully fledged police station is something we have talked about with the Questioner. I advised him that the security team can sit down and agree on which police post they want us to elevate. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the issue of upgrading Mudete Police Post to a fully fledged police station is an issue I have discussed with the hon. Member and I did advise that the security team can sit down and agree on which police division or police post you want to be elevated. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, elevating a police post to a fully fledged police station is something which is done at the local level and the hon. Member is an ex- officio Member of the security team in his area. I do not have any problem in elevating that police post. view
• 1 Mar 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that the security team within the local county will come up with the recommendations. They normally hold meetings and recommend which police post should be upgraded. I am suggesting to my good friend that they should fast-track the minutes where they recommended that police post to be upgraded to a fully fledged police station. There is no way I can upgrade a police post to a fully fledged police station without recommendation from the security team at the local level. view
