• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the interest the Government has on this case is to maintain law and order. That is prerequisite. I urge my colleagues that we must maintain law and order. We must also keep peace. The land in that scheme belongs to the county council and it has nothing to do with the Ministry of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security. I urge my colleagues to maintain law and order all the time. Currently, we have beefed up security and there will be no spill over of the problem to the neigbouring constituencies. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, the police only implements court orders. As you are aware, I do not issue title deeds but I only keep peace. While keeping peace, I will try to implement what the court or the Minister for Lands says. That is how we come in. Otherwise, my docket does not deal with land cases. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we do not have any law which excludes a 95-year or 100- year fellow who commits a crime. The law says very clearly that we must maintain peace and follow the law to the letter. I urge the hon. Member as my colleague, to settle this case without fighting or inciting other people to fight--- view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is my advice. Otherwise, we will maintain law and order and we will keep peace in that region until normalcy returns. view
• 15 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you know my colleague is charged in court over incitement. Definitely, he is party to the incitement bit within his constituency. That is why I appeal to him that as the Member of Parliament for that particular area, that he should put people together so that they can work together. view

• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: The Kenya Police Reserve will, when necessary, be armed with the same type of arms and ammunitions as are issued to and used by the regular police. (c) The KPRs are volunteers and not entitled to a salary. However, they may be paid allowances while engaged on duty as they may be approved from time to time in accordance with the Police Regulations Act, as stipulated in the Police Act. view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is not a question of giving an undertaking. The automatic rifles are given when need arises. You will agree with me that the crime rate within Tana River as of now is low. We can give the automatic rifles if there is need. That should be recommended by the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD) of the area. If the OCPD wants the automatic rifles, we will supply them. If he feels that he is able to use the other weapons, we will allow him to use them. view
