• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said, and I want to repeat here; any police officer who is involved in a heinous crime will not be spared. If the report tells us that they are the fellows whom the hon. Member has mentioned, I have no choice, but to arrest them and arraign them in a court of law. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know very well that the hon. Member who is a friend of mine has never been an investigator. We are investigating those allegations. Once it comes from a credible investigator, we will arrest those officers. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that over 20 persons have been injured through thuggery in the residential areas of Kimilili Township in Kimilili Constituency in the last three months. (b) No, I am not aware that at least one person is killed every month at Brigodia Market over the past four months.

• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I said in this House last week that there has been a wave of criminal activities within Kimilili and Kiminini. I promised that those police officers who have overstayed, meaning, that those who have stayed for three years and above will be transferred and new officers with new ideas posted. If you go to Kimilili today, you will see police officers. I will post more police officers to the area if there is need. That is why I will establish an AP camp in Brigodia so that the APs can also carry out patrols in order to ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have said that I have intensified the patrols. I have also given a vehicle to the CID officers to use in patrolling the area and arrest those who cause mayhem. I have said earlier on that if there is any need to increase the number of police officers, I will do that even today. However, I am happy that the Questioner has admitted that the level of criminal activities has so far gone down. We are together and I will try and post more officers to the area if there is need. view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not agree with the hon. Member that there is an upsurge of insecurity in the City. In any case, the level of insecurity in the City has gone down. Right now we have new equipment which the police officers use to track down criminals. We are also being assisted by Airtel Kenya and Safaricom to arrest criminals. As far as I am concerned as the Assistant Minister in charge of Internal Security, there is no upsurge in crime in the City. In fact, crime has gone down a bit within Nairobi. We also want to ... view
• 24 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that I have already answered that question, but for his benefit I will repeat. Currently, we are discussing with the Treasury so that we can have more vehicles. If we have more vehicles, the crime rate within these cities will come down. There are isolated cases like in those two areas he has mentioned. Within a week or two, the police will get hold of the youth who use those areas as their hideout and arraign them in court. view

Members on the ongoing Operation Good Hope, aimed at flushing out elements of the Oromo Liberation Front (OLF) militia from North Eastern Wajir and Upper Eastern areas in Kenya, as well as on the alleged police brutality on two chiefs in Wajir North District.
