• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, any intruder who walks into somebody’s farm, to either harvest or take what is already in the farm by force--- The law is very clear on how to deal with them. I have beefed up security in that area. Should there be such a problem, the culprits will be dealt with. They will face the wrath of the security team. That should not be a problem to the hon. Member. We are taking care of it. view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Mr. Loperit Kadumo Kapon was arrested on 11th December, 2010 at Koshelei Village, Mosol Location, which falls under Pokot County, after killing an elephant in Turkana South Game Reserve, which is located in Kainuk Sub-location within Kainuk Location in Turkana South District. The crime for which he was arrested was committed within Turkana County, and not Pokot County. Kainuk Sub-location and Kainuk Location fall under Turkana County. (b) The crime was committed outside the jurisdiction of Marich and Sigor hence the reason as to why the suspect was handed over to Lodwar ... view
• 16 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there was no violation of the accused person’s rights, because the court provided a Pokot interpreter by the name Susan Kamolo, who was used during the court hearing to ensure that the accused understood the particulars of the offence preferred against him. The accused was convicted and sentenced on his own plea of guilty. I want to repeat that the accused was convicted and sentenced on his own plea of guilty. The accused was given a chance to appeal within 14 days after the date of the sentence which he did not do. I am not ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I seek the indulgence of the Chair to allow me to answer this Question on Wednesday morning next week. This is because we received this Question last evening at around 6.30 p.m. As you can see, under part (b), Mr. Cheruiyot needs an account of the loss of human life and livestock as a result of the increased insecurity since 2003. So, I need to send some officers to Kuresoi to ascertain the number of livestock stolen and if there has been any loss of life. So, I would be comfortable to answer it on Wednesday ... view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I received this Question yesterday at 6.30 p.m. and that is why we could not get the answers, especially when the information required dates back to 2003. So, it is very difficult for me to give a response to my friend here. Now that he has agreed that I can answer the Question on Wednesday, I think I will get him a better answer. view
• 9 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, a Question by Private Notice comes within 24 hours, and there is no way the Question could have been filed two months ago. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware of the increase in cases of insecurity and robberies in Emuhaya District. On the contrary, crime statistics at the time of the Question and indeed, up to now, indicated that robbery incidences had decreased in the area. I believe that the hon. Member for this constituency is aware that insecurity cases have gone down. (b) I am aware that the District Commissioner, Emuhaya has no vehicle as the one he had was involved in an accident. Further, the District Administration Police Commandant (APC) has not been allocated a ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you may be aware that this is not just an ordinary constituency. This is the constituency which houses the Speaker of the National Assembly. In the meantime, I will try my level best to look for any vehicle to allocate the DC for services to continue. I would like to assure the hon. Member that we will try and ensure that the DC gets a vehicle which is serviceable in order for him to continue working. view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that in some areas we have witnessed an increase in insecurity. However, this is as a result of the poverty level which we are facing. We have discussed this issue and we have agreed that in the majority areas where we have insecurity, we are going to try to use the Elite Squad stationed in each and every province, to tackle insecurity. I am glad that we have done the same in Kisumu and we are also going to do the same in Kakamega in order for the Elite Squad to reduce incidences of ... view
• 8 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have a competent security team to deal with stock theft cases. This is what we call the Anti Stock Theft Unit. If those officers are not doing their work, it will force me to remove them from that area and post new officers there, who will be equal to this task. I am ready to do that if at all there is a complaint that the officers who were posted there are not doing a good job. view
