I did indicate to the Questioner that he should come, so that we can agree on which ones are still missing in order for my officers to fast-track the recovery process. I am also ready to help in fast-tracking the issue of recovery. We agreed that he should come to my office, so that we can increase the personnel in order for us to fast-track the recovery bid. view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the reason as to why we are having patrols along that road is because of the banditry menace. If we withdraw the patrol vehicle, that road will not be passable. They should thank me for deploying a number of police officers to patrol that area.

• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, this was a sad story; I lost officers and we lost innocent Kenyans. It is a sad day for us to come before you and talk about innocent Kenyans having lost their lives as a result of the actions of a rogue police officer. Mr. Kivuti asked about the compensation. I will combine Mr. Kivuti’s and Mr. Kabogo’s questions. According to the law, the Government cannot make any payment through a payment voucher without any order from the courts. So, once a court directs the amount of compensation--- view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is true, but there is Government procedure to be followed when you pay a certain amount of money. So, who will determine how much compensation will be paid to the widows? It becomes very difficult--- view
