• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is not a requirement just within the Police Force, but even in other institutions. If you desert duty and your whereabouts are not known, you will definitely be interdicted and, later on, summarily dismissed. view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have accepted that we will consider that case once he appeals. I would like the hon. Member to hand in some of the documents that he is having. We can peruse them and see what is in the file and compare. Otherwise, we will assist the fellow if, at all, he was dismissed wrongly. view
• 12 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Subukia Police Station has two cells: A permanent cell for male prisoners and another semi-permanent one for female prisoners. All these were built during the colonial era. However, I am further aware that two timber houses burnt down on 12th August, 2009 as a result of an electrical fault. An inquiry file No.1/2009 was opened and investigations carried out. Action is being taken. (b) According to the current Kenya Police Development Plan, Subukia Police Station is earmarked for 48 units, Type E Flats, to be constructed in phases once funds are available. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: However, to address the current situation, officials from the Ministry of Public Works were invited to inspect the station on 8th September 2010 and recommended development of a site plan which will properly cater for economical utilization of the station’s five acre piece of land. The plan will include the divisional headquarters, station and staff quarters. This will only be realized depending on the availability of sufficient funds. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, basically that will depend on the kind of money that we will get. In the next financial year, we have requested Treasury to give us some funds to do the construction of the station and the houses. So, that will entirely depend on how much we are going to get. But whatever money we get, we are going to give the station and the housing priority. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have an elaborate plan to do the housing units for the entire police force. It is true that the police officers have been living in dilapidated housing units some of which are uni-huts which are temporary structures. There is an indication that they will give us the money for police reforms. If you remember, we asked for Kshs81 billion. If we get any amount of that Kshs81 billion, our priority is to make sure that police officers live in habitable housing units because they also have families. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that we have invested quite large sums of money to come up with these stations and the housing units for the police officers in Kisumu. We are waiting for an invitation to take over from the Ministry of Public Works, once they are ready. We need them more than the area Member of Parliameant. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am not aware. view
• 9 Feb 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if we get Kshs81 billion for the police reforms, we are going to a give a facelift to offices, housing units and the cells within the police stations. However, we will do that on a priority basis. Whether women or men cells will be a priority in Ol Kalou, we will get that information from the ground. If a station will be the priority we will do exactly the same. view
