• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you look at the records, you will see that this police station should have been upgraded a long time ago when hon. Cheruiyot was the PS. Unfortunately, it was not upgraded. However, I am now on it and I will make sure that we upgrade it. Already, I have funds to do 36 units. He should be thankful to us that in the 21st Century, we are going to work on this police station. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, that is true. However, you and I know that this Government, the Kibaki Administration, took over in 2001. I have said that I will give priority to this particular police station, because of the historical background. It was established in 1920, even before hon. Kutuny was born. I have accepted that we have to set aside funds to upgrade this police station. He should be thankful to this Government for having given him first priority. I will go and inspect that area to see if land available. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir that is a very easy question. Once we get funds, hopefully by July, we will do it. view
• 24 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Kachibora Police Station covers quite an expansive area. That is the reason why I will upgrade it. I will also construct the 36 units, not because of the crime rate but because the people there are peace loving citizens. I want him to maintain that peace so as to get good things. view

• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: (a) On 11th February, 2011 at about 5.00 p.m., three gangsters armed with AK-47 rifles were being pursued by police officers from Chiga area towards Rabuor on foot. On reaching an area between Ahero and Rabuor, they started shooting motorists randomly and as result, the following persons were shot dead: Tobias Otieno Onung’a, aged 45 years, Anthony Waithaka aged 41 years, Muchiri Waweru, aged 40 years and Joseph Nyamolo aged 33 years. The mentioned were killed by the gangsters and not the police officers. Further, during the shooting, another motorist, Ken Agendo was robbed of his motor vehicle, registration No.KBH ... view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: (b) Police officers were not involved in the shooting and, therefore, no disciplinary action is contemplated against them. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the briefing I got is that Mr. Onung’a, who was the driver, was asked to stop by the gangsters because they wanted any vehicle which they could use to escape from the police. Mr. Onung’a was seated on a tractor and he had surrendered to the gangsters. He then put his hands down looking for his identification card to show them. The gangsters thought that maybe he had a gun. So, he was shot dead by the gangsters, and not by the police officers. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is the police. I mentioned that these gangsters were shooting randomly, and they killed four people. We are trying to get hold of them. I want to assure this House that we will get hold of the gangsters. view
• 23 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are combing that area and my police officers have done very well especially in Kisumu where we had many insecurity cases. I am very happy with the work the elite squad has done since we deployed it in Kisumu. It is not just in Kisumu. Once they are through with the work, we will take them elsewhere where there is insecurity. view
