• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the problem of boda boda is countrywide. We have beefed up security and we rely heavily on the intelligence reports. We are gathering information, and if there are any suspicious characters within boda boda areas of operation we have instructed the police to arrest them immediately. I believe that using the information gathered by intelligence organs will definitely help us curb this menace once and for all. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue of safety is not within my docket. My docket is purely concerned with security. If the hon. Member wants to know more about their safety, my colleague, Mr. Kimunya, is around and he will respond to that particular issue. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it will not be possible for me to give the time frame. This is because those thugs will run away from Migori. That is between me and my officers. The only thing I am going to do is to make sure that we arrest thugs and take them to court. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that on 25th January, 2010, one Lucy Wairimu Githuku, aged 37 years, while within Gatundu Police Station compound was attacked and bitten by a police dog christened “Jumbo”. However, when she later passed on and a postmortem was conducted, it was established that she had died as a result of meningitis/encephalitic and intestinal obstruction leading to cardiopulmonary arrest. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to table a copy of the postmortem report. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: (b) No, I am not aware that the police dog tested positive for rabies. The police dog in question is a male German shepherd which was born on 18th February, 2007 and was bred in the Police Dog Section Kennels, Nairobi. The dog’s veterinary history is well recorded and prior to the incident, it had been vaccinated against rabies on 5th January, 2010 by Dr. Njoroge of Kenya Police Dog Section. I wish to table a copy of the record indicating that it was indeed vaccinated against rabies. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, further, on 9th November, 2010, Jumbo was examined at the University of Nairobi, College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences, Faculty of Veterinary Medicine and found to be free from blood parasites, including rabies, and was declared clinically sound. On 23rd July, 2010, the police vide Exhibit Memo Form C6 requested for an analysis of the brain tissue specimen of the deceased from the Government chemist. On 28th July, 2010, a laboratory report was received by the police. However, instead of the report being addressed to Gatundu Police Station who had requested for it, it was addressed to ... view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have covered that particular Question very well by laying on the Table the postmortem report which was given by the doctor. I would also challenge the hon. Member to give us a postmortem report which says that the lady died due to rabies. My postmortem report which I have just laid on the Table says the contrary. If the hon. Member has any information which contradicts what I have laid on the Table, let him also come up with another postmortem report in order for us to interrogate it. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why we could not authenticate the other examination which was done by the university is because Mr. Muiruri never asked for the examination to be done on the deceased. It is the police who requested for the examination to be done. So, we said we would wait for the authentic one because it is the police who requested for the examination to be done. If you look at the postmortem report, it shows clearly that the doctor has declared that the deceased died as a result of meningitis. It would have been proper if there ... view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you can see the historical background of this particular case. This incident occurred on 25th January. The deceased died in July. The postmortem report is what we are going by. I do not mind the Question being referred to the Departmental Committee on Health, if at all it will come up with information which contradicts what I have just tabled. So, I do not have any problem with that. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have asked the College of Agriculture and Veterinary Sciences at the University of Nairobi to give us the examination report because it is the police who asked for the report. view
