• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that letter has been overtaken by the unfolding events. That is why I have told the hon. Member to ignore the letter. Even if you read this letter, it was written sometimes back. We have a letter which was written on 14th May, 2010, taking the file to the Attorney-General for advice. That is why I am asking him to ignore that letter. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question. When the matter was reported that there was embezzlement of Kshs42 million, they had to move fast in order to get back the money. There are cases that are still pending because of evidence. First, the police wanted to verify the signatures of the directors. Secondly, it was very difficult for the police to co-operate with the banks. The bank managers were not co-operating with the police officers. We have decided that the case is ongoing. We have written a letter to the Attorney-General to give us the interpretation. Within ... view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not a question of how long. This is a fraud case just like the Goldenberg case which has not been resolved up to now. It is important for us to zero in on the person who took the money or who wanted to steal the money. So, it might take two or three months, or one year. The police must zero in on the person who took the money. We cannot just arrest any Tom, Dick and Harry. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just gave an example. Ordinarily, on fraud cases you must zero in on the person who got the money through false pretence. The police are doing good work. Within two months I will be in a position to inform this House what we have so far come up with. We are going to arrest these fellows once the Attorney-General gives us the go-ahead. view
• 22 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, there is no need of tabling another letter. I have assured this House that we will arraign these guys in court once the Attorney- General has advised the CID. Two months is not a long time. We will arraign these guys in court once we have collected evidence that, indeed, they committed the crime. Mr. Deputy Speaker: Let us move on to the next Question by Mr. Olago Oluoch! view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Following reported cases of stock theft in Isiolo and Samburu Districts several head of cattle were reported stolen from people of different communities--- view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, according to records held by police between October, 2008 and February, 2009, about 1,500 head of cattle had been reported stolen. Since the areas affected were within Eastern and Rift Valley provinces, a joint security operation was planned and executed by both provincial security and intelligence committees, Eastern and Rift Valley provinces, with the intention of recovering the stolen animals. The areas of operation were rugged terrains of Isiolo and Samburu. It was decided that military choppers be requested for and used to aid ground security officers in locating the stolen stock. During the operation, a total ... view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: (b) The authority given by the joint Provincial Security and Intelligence Committees of Rift Valley and Eastern was not to confiscate livestock from the Samburu. The authority was given to recover stolen livestock and hand them over to their rightful owners after positive identification. This task was undertaken and as earlier noted 1,434 head of cattle recovered. After positive identification, they were all handed over to their respective owners between 2nd and 6th March, 2009. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not know what to say because in meetings that were convened, where the Questioner is a member, we have been thinking of ways and means of recovering stolen animals. Because of the bad terrain in Samburu, we decided to use a chopper to know which routes the animals were being taken to. We managed to establish the routes which the rustlers were taking and we reconfiscated 1,434 head of cattle. view
• 17 Jun 2010 in National Assembly: Between 2nd and 6th March, we called all those who were alleging to have lost their animals to the DCs office to identify those animals. I want to confirm to this House that the exercise was successfully done and the animals were identified and we handed them over to the owners. I do not know to what extent the Questioner does not want me to use a chopper because he knows that the terrain within Samburu is completely bad. I cannot use a vehicle to trace the animals. I can only use a chopper. view
