• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said that the police officers will strive to arrest those thugs and take them to court. The Constitution is very clear. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the police will not kill anybody, but they will arrest those thugs and take them to court. If at all I said the police will look for them and kill them, I beg to withdraw. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to withdraw that particular statement, but I want to substitute with this: We have instructed the police that they must weed out known criminals. “Weed out” means they have to arrest them and take them to court. That is weeding them out! view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is why I said that any police officer who is trigger happy will face the full force of the law. They all know the consequences. They use guns to arrest people. In the same vein, known criminals must be arrested and weeded out. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the law is very clear. If you make a mistake of that nature, the law will take its course; you will be taken to court and charged with murder. The law is very clear and we are not sparing anybody. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree that I have already given the actual number of people who have been killed by the police. They are only 18! view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, the story is true. Those of us who have not experienced those kinds of carjacking and criminal activities are the people who are not supporting the services of the police. I would like to urge my colleagues: Let us not demoralize police officers. Let us all support the work of police officers. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: The reason why I am saying that is because police officers are being bashed every now and then. The day you will be carjacked is when you will realize that police officers are doing a good job. But I will not hesitate to tell the police to do their work. I would like to request my colleagues that, as the police officers are doing their job, let us support them. Let us not demoralize them! view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: The other thing is that we are undertaking reforms. Yes, we will get rid of trigger happy police officers to clean the Police Force. We want a Police Force to mind about the welfare of innocent Kenyans. Otherwise, my appeal is that let us support the police officers to do their work. view
• 3 Feb 2011 in National Assembly: You are also aware that, as we sleep in our houses, police officers are outside there waiting for anybody who will come and fight us. What do I do with those who come to compounds of hon. Members to either carjack or do other odd things? We have to act and I need that support! You are aware that Kisumu City is full of thugs. What do I do with those thugs? We have to do something! view
