The Rift Valley is an expansive province! view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in Eastern Province, there are those who are being investigated as we speak. Once the investigations prove that they committed a criminal activity, they will be taken to court. The good thing is that Eastern Province is becoming disciplined a bit.

Beats and patrols have also been stepped up, leading ... view
• 18 Aug 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the prisons management advises on those who are supposed to be released. They assume that these criminals have actually reformed. They assume the criminals will be able to be integrated together with other citizens in order for them to continue with their daily lives.

Some of them are being charged today in court. I want to assure the hon. Member, who is also a ... view
