• 28 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is exactly what I said. I want to repeat that the Government has no objection at all in allowing the fireworks during Diwali celebrations except that the conditions must be met! view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that Kiminini and Saboti Police Stations have not been constructed. However, funds were allocated for 32 police posts. Already 30 of them have been completed. Kiminini, Saboti, Gituamba and Kalaha Police Posts were not among them. (b) During the current financial year, funds for development of police housing and office accommodation have been allocated for specific police stations. Consequently, my Ministry will request for more funding from the Treasury to construct the four stations among others in the coming financial year. Meanwhile, the security for Internally Displaced Persons ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when we agreed that we were going to construct these police stations and police posts, the leaders of the area, together with the security team, sat down and agreed on priority areas. We said that we were going to construct the police posts according to the priorities given to the Ministry. All is not lost. The areas which are not having any construction of facilities are going to be catered for in terms of constructing Administration Police camps. So, we are still going to provide security in those areas as we look for funds. As at now, ... view

Member of Parliament for Igembe South Constituency, stood on a point of order and demanded a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on the alleged presence of Rwandan fugitive, Felicien Kabuga in Kenya. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to give a response to all the allegations made by the hon. Member as contained in the HANSARD Report of that particular day. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Mr. Felicien Kabuga is a Rwandan national who is alleged to have played a leading role in ... view
• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: in the area. That turned out to be false. One person interviewed in Nairobi reported that the fugitive was hiding in a house in Ruai. That was also untrue. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the fugitive is known to have several names, which make it difficult to identify him. Some of those names include Felicien Kabuga, Sarisita Idris Sudi, Abaches Stratrong, Athnas Munyaruga, Oliver Rukundani Kurunda, Felis Kabuga and Joseph Malumba Lualua. It is with those investigations and false intelligence that the Government is convinced that Mr. Kabuga is not in the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I indicated earlier, Mr. Kabuga's ... view

• 23 Oct 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I had mentioned here that Mr. Kabuga visited this country in 1994. So, it is true that he was here during that year. He, however, mysteriously disappeared. If I could get all these documents, I will take it upon myself to give them to the police and investigate the matter. I will then report back to this House. However, they have ambushed me with some documents and yet, I mentioned here that Mr. Kabuga has several names and some of them might not belong to the real Mr. Kabuga. If I could get the documents, then it ... view
