• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, we do not create districts if there are no requests. We get requests from the leaders themselves that they require districts in order for their administrative units to be closer to the people. When our leaders are asking for districts, they should also put in place a number of things. One, they should know where the headquarters should be. Secondly, they should know whether there are houses to accommodate the OCPD and the DO. We are going to consider a number of things before the districts are created. Some of those things will include where the ... view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I do agree with my colleague. We have allocated about Kshs20 million to do the police line just within Chalbi District alone. Due to its expansiveness, I have created a number of police camps, police posts and additional vehicles have so far been given. What else do you expect Mr. Ojode to do? view
• 9 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, in fact, he should thank the Government for having done that. I have allocated a new vehicle to Chalbi District in this Financial Year. Once our Vote has been passed, he will be a beneficiary of a new vehicle. He is going to get a new vehicle. view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that the said officer went missing while on a peace-keeping duty in Liberia in August, 2006. (b) Immediately the report on the disappearance of Chief Inspector A.H. Abikar was received, the United Nations Mission in Liberia set up a task force comprising of United Nations Mission in Liberia and Liberia National Police to trace the officer. The Kenya Government also sent a team of three officers to trace him. In spite of all the efforts made to unveil the mysterious disappearance, the officer has not been traced ... view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have not given any contradiction. The officer is missing from his work or the duties that he was performing. As for the officer's name in the payroll, he is a deserter. That means that he cannot be paid any money because he has deserted duty. So, I am not contradicting any of the replies that I gave. Would I also be in order--- view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to give a background to these sad issue. It is very sad that a Kenyan policeman is missing in Liberia. Allow me to give some chronology of events in this matter. Mr. Adan Hassan Abikar was in the month of May, 2006 sent by the Kenya Government as United Nations mission peace-keeper in Sipold Division of Liberia. In Liberia the officer was in a station with a fellow Kenyan police officer by the name Constable Elijah Mong'are, with whom he resided in the same house. In the evening of 12th August, 2006 the said ... view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, as I said earlier, this is a sad case. I want my colleagues to note what it means if you dessert duty or go missing from duty. Section 41(i) of the Police Act provide that:- "A member of inspectorate or a subordinate officer who is absent without leave, or who overstays any period of leave for more than 21 days shall, unless the contrary is proved, be deemed to have deserted from the force." Paragraph (ii) says:- "When an officer becomes a deserter, the Force Headquarters must be notified immediately. A case file will be opened and a ... view
• 3 Jul 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is a very good question. Under ordinary circumstances, I did not access the agreement. Parts "a" and "b" of this Question should actually have been directed to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. However, I decided to answer it, because of part "c" which touches on our docket. I will check, within the legal framework of the law, if it is possible for us to continue paying the family, because it is a sad case. view
