• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, four officers are on payroll. They are being paid for what they lost and they are working as we speak. So, there is no cause for alarm there. view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the police force is a disciplined force and we encourage our staff, especially police officers to follow the law. The requirement is that you will be taken to the proceedings orders and later on charged if found guilty. However, on this particular case, it was very clear that something wrong happened and it has already been corrected. I want to congratulate the Commissioner of Police for having acted so fast in reinstating the officers after having been given the minutes from the Board on that particular day. This is because the Board sat on 15th and the ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir that is to the contrary. We never acted as a result of what came to Parliament. The Board sits at its own periods. The Board was supposed to have sat on--- view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that the Appeals Board sits every month and when this Question was raised on the Floor of this House on 13th, this issue had already been listed for hearing on 15th. That is how the Board decided on the reinstatement of the four officers. So, it is not a question of the Question being raised in Parliament. Parliament did a good job by ordering me to come with the information or details why the court order could not have been implemented at that particular time. However, we implemented. The Board also recommended that the ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am very much aware of those funds being suspended. However, we are restructuring that particular department. Already, Mr. Mumo has gone on peace keeping. So, let me restructure the department. view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, yes, it is valid. I am also on record as having said that I am restricting that particular department. We will take action against those officers found to be frustrating others. There are a number of other legalities we are following in order to discipline those who are found to be culpable. So, I do not wish to say that this is exactly what I will do to this particular officer. However, I want to say, just like I mentioned here, that there are some movements that had already been taken care of. So, some of those ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, this Question was asked in May last year. I was aware of an increase in cases of insecurity along the Nakuru-Eldoret Highway especially within Nakuru, Salgaa and Mau Summit areas. I had answered this Question elaborately but what was remaining was to show whether we charged some of the officers who were found to be involved in the robbery. I wish to table the charge sheet to prove that we have acted. I have a court case for Molo Police and those who were involved in the crime. I will lay it on the Table. The ... view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Not only that, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The suspects have been taken to court. Routinely, I have to transfer those officers who have overstayed in that particular place, and that is exactly what I did. The hon. Member even asked me to transfer for him those officers who had overstayed in Molo, and that is exactly what I did. view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, again, this Question had already been answered. What was remaining was the fact that the Questioner asked for the report to be view
• 17 Apr 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, murder cases ordinarily take a long. The police want to zero in on the person who murdered. It is not something easy, like breaking into a shop. This is murder case and we have to follow the right channel. We have written letters and told the police to fast-track the report. We have also asked the DPP to give us the way forward. I have tabled even the letters communicating through our office to the DPP and we are awaiting the DPP to give us the way forward. So, murder cases are a bit complicated. Let him ... view
