• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: (b) It is true that two police patrol bases were closed, including the one at Ogwedhi. The residents had become hostile to the few police officers in the patrol bases during the post-election period and the officers had to be recalled to their parent police stations to team up with their colleagues. The security situation has now improved. My Ministry is considering reinstating the patrol bases. view

• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I thought the hon. Member would thank the Government for having allocated to him serviceable vehicles. In fact, since this vehicle was taken to Migori, the crime rate has gone down completely. Last month, we managed to arrest two chiefs and one councillor from Kuria. These are the people who were masterminding the theft of cattle in Migori. view
