• 29 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as of now, that GK vehicle is serviceable, and I am not in a position to give him another new vehicle, maybe until the next financial year, because what was there has already been allocated to other areas. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (a) Community policing is a Government policy which was officially launched by His Excellency the President in April 2005, as a crime prevention strategy that establishes a common partnership between members of the community and the police in preventing crime. Community policing is a department within the Kenya Police Force. It is headed by a Director who is a Senior Assistant Commissioner of Police and has a command structure from the police force headquarters up to the police stations level throughout the country. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) In guaranteeing ownership, the membership of the community policing committee is elected from the community by the communities themselves.

• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I disagree with my friend that there is insecurity in many parts of Kenya. I will give you one example. In Mt. Elgon itself, we really tried to bring sanity. We had to mount an operation which was a combined force by our Army, the Administration Police and the Regular Police. As I speak, my friend, hon. Kapondi, is a very happy man since sanity is back. Community policing was meant to bring wananchi closer to the police. view

• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I had mentioned, we look for people who are respected within the community. If one recruits goons, he will do it at his own risk!

I want to appeal to my friends that if they are aware of anybody who is behind the Chinkororos of this world, they should whisper it to me so that we can arrest them. We will arrest them! view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, under normal circumstances, the police get information from the community. After that, the intelligence officers take up the matter. If it is a matter which requires the police to arrest and take those who are adversely mentioned to court, that is what will happen. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, once information has been received by the police officers, we take action as the Government. The police will take those adversely mentioned to court after investigations. The law must be followed. view
• 28 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, this is a new concept which just came in the other day. Paying these people something small in order to avoid corruption is a good idea. We will look into that. We will see what is it that we can pay in terms of an allowance in order to avoid corruption. view
