Generally, in the entire country, crime rate has gone down. Apart from hue and cry here and there, we are trying. Crime rate in Nairobi has also gone down. Once we equip our police officers with new equipment, I believe that crime rate will actually go to negative one, if not zero, view
• 7 Jul 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that we are trying to provide our police officers with bullet-proof vests.
