• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, these three vehicles are serviceable. They are in good condition. In any case, if there is prove that this vehicle is not helping the hon. Member accomplish what he wants to do, I can allocate him another vehicle, but not necessarily a new one. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, you will agree with me that this is not a public institution. It is meant to serve the military although we have a working relationship whereby they admit our police officers who get injured. What the hon. Member has said is true that they cannot be admitted using their NHIF cards. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we are in the process of developing a group personal accident scheme for the disciplined forces. The group personal accident scheme will, among other things, offer some money in case there is death in the line of duty, harm or assault where injuries occur, incidents of gun fights with criminals, fire and accidents. The police officers are going to get those facilities once they get the insurance. The reason why we want them to get insured is due to the number of casualties occurring in their line of duty. So, the hon. Member should have ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did not say that "those are Kurias." I said that those who are masterminding cattle-rustling within Kuria have so far been arrested. We have arrested two chiefs and one councillor from Kuria. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, we were negotiating with the management of the Armed Forces Memorial Hospital to see if they could allow the police officers to be treated as and when necessary without any discrimination. I think the talks are going on very well, and in the near future all police officers will be treated there irrespective of what kind of illness they have. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is true that many lives have been lost. However, I have said in this House that the issue of cattle-rustling will not be there any more. I also said, in this House, that the cattle-rustling activity had gone a notch higher. It is a cartel. I want to assure hon. Members that within a week or so, you will see some action being taken. There are those who are behind cattle-rustling. We will arrest them. I would want to have the support of my colleagues, so that once these fellows are arrested, no one will come ... view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir, I said that heads would roll. I transferred about 13 police officers who had over-stayed in Migori. I am assuring the hon. Member that the crime rate within Migori District has gone down. As I speak, I have also beefed up security within the environs of Migori, not just Migori. I have already posted five police officers to Awendo and eight officers to Nyatike. Nyatike falls under Migori District. What else does the hon. Member want me to do? I have told him that the issue of crime rate in Migori is a thing of the past. view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought that Dr. Khalwale was a gynaecologist by profession. He is a friend of mine. I have consulted with the Minister, who is in charge of the military and he says that he is going to consult--- view
• 21 Jan 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the answer is yes! view
