• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I beg to respond. (a) On 21st May, 2009, police officers at Githunguri Police Station area were conducting a crackdown on motor vehicles suspected to be unroadworthy in contravention of the provisions of the Traffic Act. The crackdown, was led by gazzeted motor vehicle inspectors.

• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I totally disagree with the hon. Member. When the crackdown on un-roadworthy vehicles was being done by the police, the police officers requested the drivers to be escorted all the way to the Plant but they declined. That is the report I got. After refusing, the police officers insisted that they had to check those vehicles. That is why I have tabled the charge sheet for the Questioner to go through. That is what happened. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, when the drivers refused to be escorted to the Plant, the police officer could not do anything ... view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the Questioner is a lawmaker in this House.

In fact, he is the one who should have insisted that these vehicles were un-roadworthy and should be taken for inspection and the drivers charged. Is he in order? view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: First of all, I would want to correct the notion that police officers go on rampage. The law requires the police to do a crackdown on un-roadworthy vehicles--- view

So do not look at the registration number. The fact that a vehicle has got a new registration number plate does not mean that it is not defective. There are many vehicles with new registration which are defective. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, could you protect me from the hon. Members so that I can reply to this question? view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the fact that the vehicle has a new registration number plate does not necessarily mean that it cannot be defective. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I have said that the fact that you have a new registration number plate does not necessarily mean that the vehicle cannot be defective. The hon. Member knows that there are second-hand vehicles which are being imported into this country. view
• 17 Jun 2009 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, we offered to escort those vehicles because of what they were carrying but the driver declined. Under those circumstances, my officers had to carry on with their work. I also laid on the Table the charge sheet. I will request the hon. Member to go through the charges and if there is any--- view
