• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the information I have is that on 3rd September, 2008, at about 3.00 p.m. at Nthambiro Shopping Centre, the said suspect, Alex Muriuki Kiramana and three others had robbed Ms. Margaret Kiambii of a mobile phone and Kshs5,000 while armed with a pistol. I do not know whether Alex was doing the business of robbing, because he was found with a pistol. The complainant reported the robbery to officers on patrol duties, who responded quickly. The complainant pointed out the suspect. My officers arrested the man on the spot. On arrest, he was found with a ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that I was supposed to tour hon. Linturi's constituency. However, the dates which we had agreed upon were deferred because of the absence of the hon. Linturi. He was out of the country. However, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Government is going to deal with cases of insecurity decisively without any favour. Currently, we are increasing the number of security officers in the areas which are prone to insecurity. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr.Deputy Speaker, Sir, my colleague has accepted that the fellow was involved in some business. It is the type of business that he was involved in which the hon. Member does not know. I am telling him that this man was involved in a robbery. We will never, as a Government, accept that kind of business! view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, Alex was killed because he was a robber! However, we should wait and see what the inquest will come up with. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that there have been incidents of attacks in Nyamusi Division involving the use of firearms in the last one year; nor am I aware that the Provincial Administration is unable to discharge its duties due to any state of insecurity within the division. However, I am aware that, on 25th August, 2008, around 2.30 a.m., a group of five men armed with crude weapons had boarded a bus belonging to Nyamira Express Company within Ekerenyo Division and commandeered the same bus up to Nyamusi Division, where they robbed ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have said that I am aware of some thugs who hijacked a bus and commandeered it all the way to Nyamusi Division. That happened because there was no vehicle to patrol the area. I want to do two things. First, we are going to have a police station at Magwagwa. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, secondly, the security intelligence has also proposed and recommended that we put up a police station at Nyamusi itself. That will not be during this financial year because we have exhausted the monies that we have. However, I want to promise ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I thought you will congratulate me for agreeing to put up a police station in that area, in order to minimise insecurity. We will not only patrol the 3222 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES November 4, 2008 Nyamusi area, but all the other areas which are prone to insecurity. Those areas will be patrolled on a 24-hour basis. We are also going to beef up security in those areas. That is the best I can do for now. The Government is fully in control. Some of those issues come about as a result of poverty. The poverty level has ... view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, those are illegal groups and when we know where they are, we will arrest them. You will never hear of them again! view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do not have any problem with that. If there is any vehicle available, whether second-hand or not, I will be ready to assign it permanently to that area. view
• 4 Nov 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I said that I will try and get him a serveable vehicle. But in the event that I cannot get a new one, I will definitely give him a serviceable vehicle in order to minimise insecurity. view
