• 7 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I confirmed to this House that in certain hotspot areas, we are going to have what we call patrol bases for us to preempt any incidences of insecurity. I confirmed to this House that those hotspot areas must have enough security personnel to patrol. We have managed the situation. We have so far arrested nearly 16 people. Some have been charged with murder. I must congratulate my police officers for a job well done.

• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) At no time did the Laikipia East District Commissioner, accompanied by over 400 Administration Police officers, invade Eland Down Farm on 23rd November, 2010, nor were there any houses burnt or 300 families evicted.

• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am even disputing the figure. He alleged that over 400 Administration Police officers were deployed there. Where would I get 400 officers? view

• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any police officers who were taken there to evict squatters from that particular farm. view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a very serious issue because it involves the death of an 18 month old child--- view
• 2 Dec 2010 in National Assembly: I am not talking about the allegations. If indeed there was any death, it would have been reported at the police station. Up to now, there is no death case which has been reported at the police station including the one which is next. view
