• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Mungatana asked us to adopt medical options, and how many doctors we have to test these officers. Right now, we have agreed that apart from the Government doctors, at the time we do recruitment, we will hire doctors to help us in the institution. So, that will be taken care of at the time when we undertake recruitment. Mr. Baiya asked about the medical conditions of the employees. We recruit doctors into our institution; we are also building our hospital for the police. We will subject our police officers to use of the facility; among the things we will ... view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will start with Mr. Njuguna’s question. Yes, we will take care of the girlfriend of that fellow. We need to do thorough investigations to know whether, indeed, it is true that, that lady was a girlfriend of that particular guy. view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Why do you not let me finish? view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a frivolous point of order! I have said that we will investigate the matter, first of all, to find out whether that lady was, indeed, the girlfriend of that guy. We will investigate! We cannot rely on speculation. Again, Mr. Letimalo asked whether that is the first time. Incidences of that magnitude are isolated and we are going to make sure that all recruits must undergo the test. Some of them are going for these minor ones but we are now going to put stringent measures so that they undergo complete medical checkups. ... view
• 18 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, before I come to the top management, I want to say here that, as from this week, all police officers in uniform must also have name tags as part of their uniform. That way, it view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Due to funding constraints, posting of Officers Commanding Police Divisions (OCPD) to recently created districts is being implemented but in phases. In the first phase, an OCPD was posted to Samburu North District while in the next phase, one will be posted to Samburu East District within Wamba Town once the necessary infrastructure has been put in place. view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a good question. We are not only doing the survey in Wamba or within his district. We are carrying out a survey countrywide in order for us to agree on which police post to be upgraded and which one to be left. Mr. Speaker, Sir, you are aware that we have a place in Bungoma called Ndalu Settlement Scheme which has a similar problem. We have a lot of criminal activities within Kimilili Town and Kiminini and both places have police stations. So, that survey will give us an indication which police station we should ... view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is a committee known as District Security Committee, which can consider and request that we require a police division as opposed to police station. A police station is headed by an Officer Commanding Station (OCS). A police division is headed by an OCPD. Once there is a recommendation from the District Criminal Investigations Officer (DCIO) that we need a police division, then we will also put that to our survey team to check whether the crime rate is high or low. Those are some of the criteria which we put in force. view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time we have earmarked this particular police station for upgrading. I do recommend for an upgrade, but due to financial constrains--- Even in the last financial year, the development funds--- view
• 17 Nov 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the hon. Member is absolutely right. But I had indicated here that I had already included Wamba to be upgraded, but due to financial constraints--- It was not just affecting Wamba but many other police stations which we were supposed to upgrade. But I want to confirm to this House that once we get the money, which we have actually asked Treasury to give us, we are going to upgrade many other police stations and not just Wamba and Archer’s Post. In fact, we might even consider yours if the survey recommends so. view
