• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have indicated here clearly that we normally pay or reimburse whatever the KPRs use when they are engaged in official duties. We do not have any problem with that. If there is anything to be reimbursed, we will do that. view
• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is true that the issue of security to every Kenya is a fundamental right. We have both volunteers and the security personnel. We will still have the 19 view

• 14 Apr 2010 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that used to happen. We had to vet those who were being engaged as the KPRs. Those who have been engaged now are people of good and sound background. They are honest people and they cannot engage in criminal activities. These are people who have been tested.
