• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: However, I am aware of isolated cases of stock theft within Olkuto Division of Narok District, which have been dealt with. (b) The following animals have been reported stolen since 2003. However, no human life was reported lost. It is a long list so I wish to table it. (c) The following measures have been put in place to curb cases of cattle rustling and ensure animals are recovered and culprits punished:- (i) Movement of livestock between 6.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m. has been banned. (ii) Movement of livestock from one place to another without movement permits is not allowed. ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there have been isolated cases. That November is, in fact, captured here. That is when we lost some livestock. But some were recovered. At no time has there been any report of loss of life. What we have done – and my friend should be happy – is to beef up security, especially during the months of November, December and January in order to deter those people from moving livestock from one place to another. The ban on movement of livestock at night will also deter suspects from stealing livestock. So, I think we are doing ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not the Assistant Minister who gives a police station or a police post. The hon. Member is an ex-officio member of the security team. The team can make that request and even suggest the location of the police post. That request will be considered. We do not say no to requests which are made by security teams within the districts. So, if they need a police post, police base or patrol base, we will consider that request. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not think I am misleading the House. I said that I am not aware of increased insecurity. I said that I am aware of some isolated cases. That particular one is an isolated case. It is not something that is happening on a daily basis. I accepted that and said I am beefing up security in that area. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, I will assist Mr. Cheruyiot. That is because he hurriedly left the office before he could set up a police post in that particular area. But I will assist him to put up a police station there. So, he should not worry! We will talk about it and then, he will have a police station. view

• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 1st February, 2011, between 2.00 p.m. and 3.00 p.m., about 20 Maasai herdsmen were grazing their cattle in the Mau Forest extension. The herdsmen, without provocation, attacked Mr. John Kuria Wakaba aged 70 years as he was harvesting maize at Gwitemere area of Likia extension which is part of the Mau Forest and is used by farmers for cultivation. He died on the spot. Another farmer, John Macharia aged 37 years, sustained serious injuries after being attacked while harvesting Irish potatoes in the same area. (b) As concerns the hospitalized ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not wish to say here who will be arrested and who will not be arrested. The police are looking for those people who caused mayhem and they will be arrested. This is not the first time that this kind of problem has occurred. During harvesting period, we normally have people who go and attack the farmers. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the police are looking for many more; not two or three. We will look for those fellows and arrest them. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have involved elders from both sides. We are reconciling the two communities and things are working very well. On 9th February, 2011, we convened a meeting and very many elders, from both sides, attended. They spoke at length and agreed to live in peace and harmony. Meanwhile, we have beefed up security to allow those who are doing their business to live peacefully without any interference from other quarters. view
