• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, some crime related to murder was committed. This is a serious offence and last week we deployed the Flying Squad Unit to Kisii to deal with the thugs within that area. I want to assure the hon. Member that from next week, he will not hear anything to do with murder in that town. This is because the Flying Squad Officers are patrolling the area and they are going to arrest any suspicious person. Any suspicious looking person will be arrested on the spot. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we have also added the number of ... view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Susan Kerubi Ondieki, George Muhusu Simbe and John Oyugi Momanyi. They have been charged with the offence of robbery with violence which is contrary to Section 262 of the Penal Code. They have also been charged with handling stolen property which is contrary to Section 322(2) of the Penal Code. The hearing of the case will be on the 21st October. I must thank the police officers who rushed to the scene and arrested these fellows. This is because we were informed by the intelligence that these people were directly involved in the murder of the old reverend. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, right now the Flying Squad officers are using their own vehicle to patrol the area. In the event that I get another vehicle, if need be; if the crime rate does not go down as envisaged, I will add another vehicle in that area. As at now, I think we have enough vehicles to do the patrolling and the Flying Squad officers are doing an excellent job in that area. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a genuine question. I have deployed the Flying Squad in Murang’a and Kirinyaga. When I get enough funds, I will try and get new vehicles for my personnel to patrol those crime prone areas. I believe that with the support of my friends, we will be able to reduce the crime rates within those areas. The police reforms are getting on very well and sooner or later you will start seeing the fruits of police reforms. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, intelligence gathering will definitely know who comes from outside the district. The intelligence gathering will know a person who wants to commit crime. That is the work of the intelligence. We get information from intelligence officers and that leads to the arrest of some of these fellows. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, yes, community policing works. As a matter of fact, we have identified some of the criminals through community policing. I want to say this with regard to Kisii: If these fellows continue committing crime, if they are men enough let them continue, the Flying Squad is there ready for them. Sooner or later, you will see quite a number of them being arrested. I want to thank the hon. Member for having a lot of concern about what is happening in Kisii. The view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Government has moved swiftly to reduce the crime rate by arresting those fellows who were involved. I want to assure this House that we will continue to arrest those who want to cause havoc in our country. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is because of the high poverty levels that crime rate has gone up in some of these areas. However, I want to assure this House that where we need the deployment of the Flying Squad unit, we will do that. I am also happy to note that the crime rate is reducing on a daily basis in some of the areas which have been giving us problems. However, I want to assure this House that we are going to deal with these criminals and sanity will be brought back. view
• 14 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, community policing is done by the Provincial Administration and security officers. In each and every district, we have a committee which sensitizes people on community policing. It has really assisted the Provincial Administration to access information. In fact, even in Nyamira itself and Kisii Town, it is because of community policing that we received information. I believe that community policing is working in a majority of counties in this district and other areas. view
• 13 Oct 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply (a) It is true that PC Jorim Willys Odhiambo Abanga, Force No. 82367, a GSU officer attached to State House Mombasa went missing from his place of work on or around 7th August, 2010. The officer in charge of State House Mombasa SIP Chacha, reported the matter to the officer in charge of G Company, SSP Titus Muvea, who directed that a signal for absence without leave be dispatched if the officer failed to turn up at the expiry of 24 hours. view
