• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, hon. Kapondi is asking what we are doing to those who are generating these rumours. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we will look for the human rights watch fellow who has gone underground. We have also summoned those who are behind the Free Pentecostal Church--- The law is very clear on those who peddle rumours to cause unrest to those who live in harmony. If anybody comes up with a rumour, we would like to know the source. If at all there is evidence that he is the one who is peddling rumours, we will ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have mentioned here that some of those who were peddling rumours have gone underground and the law will catch up with them. The police are looking for them. I want to assure hon. Members that we will bring to book those who are spreading these rumours. I would also request the leadership fraternity within those areas to report matters to the police and not leave rumour- mongers walking from one bar to the other. If they continue walking from one bar to the other, I will also use my powers to close down those ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I wish to give the following Statement. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, on Tuesday, 7th December, hon. Kapondi, Member of Parliament for Mount Elgon stood on a point of order seeking a Ministerial Statement on ethnic profiling and indiscriminate swoops on members of Somali community in Eastleigh and South C Nairobi. In the statement, he wanted a clarification on whether the Government has embarked on profiling of persons of Somali ethnic group in Eastleigh. view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, police operations are carried out as and when need arises. We do not conduct any operation simply because something has happened. Arrangements for the operations were made earlier. After Eastleigh, we are going to carry out operations somewhere else. I do not wish to mention where, but we are going to carry out similar operations even in Mombasa. Why? This is because we would want to have a clean city or a city without thugs. I would, therefore, request my colleagues to support the efforts being made by the police to get rid of fellows ... view
• 15 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if you heard my statement, I said that we managed to get 1,320 people. Out of 1,320, 240 who were also netted in the swoop had no problem at all and they were released. In other words, we want to check whether these Ethiopians have got papers for them to stay in this country or whether they are the people who are causing problems. That is quite in order. So, it is not all of them who are thugs but some of them. Some of them leave their countries to stay here without papers. On the ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that, that is a fake document. If at all that court order was served to the DC or the AP Commandant, the hon. Questioner would not have been having the original. It would have been lying with the DC and the AP Commandant. Secondly, if you look at other court orders, and I will give an example which is here with me, it has a seal, a rubber stamp and you can do a photocopy. I want to lay this on the Table for your verification. ( Mr. Ojode laid the document ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if the court orders are supposed to be served to two or three people, the copies are normally certified, rubber stamped and signed. In that case, there is no other stamp which certifies the copy as the original document. I will beg the Chair to verify some of these documents in order for you to make a ruling. view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it looks like some of us have not been able to go through some of these summonses which are being given. If you are given an original document and you want to serve it to two or three officers, then the copies must be certified as the original. I have given an example here. We are trying to avoid those lawyers who just make copies within their offices, go to River Road, get a seal and put it. That is why I would challenge my colleagues to peruse what I have laid on the Table. These are ... view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I cannot withdraw police officers who are not in the farm. The officers who are within the precincts of the farm are there to maintain law and order and provide security even to those squatters. view
• 9 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member did not hear me clearly. I said, and I want to repeat, that I do not have police officers within that farm. They are not within the compound and that farm. However, I have regular police officers and Administration Police officers who are doing patrols to provide security for those who are within that area, not necessarily in the farm. view
