• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as far as I am concerned, there is no curfew in Mumias Town. If it is, indeed true that there is a curfew in that town, ordered by anybody else, I will investigate and lift it. There is no curfew in Mumias. So, people in Mumias town are advised to move freely. What we are doing is beefing up security through enhancement of police patrols within the town and its environs. The CDF Manager will be taken to court in the course of this week. So, I do not think we should have any problem with ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, you know, the law covers every Kenyan. If you engage in any criminal activity, the law will catch up with you. You will be arrested, whether you are under-age or not. However, if you are an under-age, you will not be put in the same cell with adults. There is a cell for juvenile prisoners. So, the hon. Member, who is a very good friend of mine, should advise his constituents to avoid engaging in criminal activities in Mumias Town. Otherwise, the law will catch up with anybody who is doing anything contrary to the law. view

On 13th October, 2008, the said David Macharia Muthogo was accidentally hit on the right leg by a stray bullet fired by a police officer. He was taken to Karatina District Hospital, but succumbed to the injury later.

• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, you heard me say that the police officer has so far been fired. This was a case of an accident which is tantamount to misuse of a firearm because there were no orders given to him. That is why we decided to fire him. It is sad that we lost this gentleman as a result of an accidental firing. If the family goes to court, whatever the court will decide, we will comply. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a very sad allegation. If there is any evidence to prove that any of my officers use their guns to extort money from members of the public, I will order for their arrest and we will take them to court and fire them. I would like the hon. Member to tell me the personal number of the particular officer and I will take the necessary action, otherwise, as it is now, that is a very sad allegation. view
• 27 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker Sir, let me confirm to the House that, indeed, we inherited a police force that was full of criminals. However, we have really tried. We have weeded out the criminals. As I speak, we do not have police officers who are engaged in criminal activities. If there are any, my office is open. Let us know the person and we will take an appropriate action. view
