• 23 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply.

I want to assure the House that the Government will continue with its cardinal duty of protecting lives and property. So far, we have opened police patrol stations at Kiragu, the place he is talking about. We have also opened police posts at July 23, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 2007 Kaburunge, Ngararia, Muruka, Naru and Guthuri.
