• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: I have instructed the Commissioner of Police to establish a special team of investigators who will assist to speed up these investigations, so that whoever is behind this heinous crime can be brought to book. Furthermore, I wish to state here that if the investigations reveal that police officers were involved in these murders, they will not be spared. Our new Constitution is very clear on the sanctity of life and the rights of every citizen. I wish to assure this august House that the law will take its course and anyone who is implicated in these murders will be ... view

I want to emphasize that, should any police officer be involved in murder, the law will be applied without fear or favour. Any Kenyan has the right to live. Investigations are ongoing. We have also alerted the forest officers at Kinale to be on high alert, so that anybody entering the forest will be arrested and investigated for us to know where the truth lies. We will not spare anybody. view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we consulted with the area chief, Mr. Jeremiah Thuku, who also confirmed to us that these young boys were never at the police station. Even after he confirmed, we are investigating this matter. This is not a light matter; it is a serious matter because it involves deaths. I want to assure this House that even if there were some people who were murdered, like the allegations which I am hearing today because I do not have the evidence and the names of those who are purported to have been murdered, each and every citizen has ... view
• 30 Sep 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm to this House that at no time have we received reports that the police are involved in the killings. That is the reason why I have brought in detectives, not from Lari, but from other areas, for us to know the truth. This issue involves loss of lives. People have died. We want to know who killed who. My police officers cannot kill because their primary duty is to protect the lives and property of wananchi. It is not possible! But once the investigations reveal that any one of them is involved, ... view

If there is any evidence, I would want to ask--- view
