• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is not the first time we are escorting vessels. Since the pirates started to control the Indian Ocean, we said that we have to escort some of these vessels carrying Export Processing Zone (EPZ) items. It is just that we only had a problem with the radio contact otherwise the vessel would not have drifted to the territorial waters of Comoros. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, on several occasions, I have warned my police officers that they must be very careful while using their guns. If they misuse their guns, the law will take its course. As at now, we have arrested the person who misused the gun, and we have charged him with murder. I want to caution my officers that when not necessary they should not, at any time, attempt to use live ammunition on innocent Kenyans. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the reason why we interdicted this officer was because he went beyond what he should have done. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the notification was given to the police officers and the OCPD that there would be a demonstration, their job was to maintain law and order or sanity. The reason why we have arrested this officer and charged him with murder is because he misused the authority and we will continue to do the same to any person who misuses the gun. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I think I have said that because of the misuse of the firearm by this particular officer – because he ought to have used the rubber bullets - he has landed in court charged with murder. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to categorically deny that the officer aimed at Otieno because there were several people within that area. Otherwise, we would have had many casualties. However, it was just one person who had a problem. So, it was not aimed at Otieno as the hon. Member is saying. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, once we have the equipment, we will supply them to various police stations, including Karachuonyo. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg for the indulgence of the Chair to allow me to answer this Question later this afternoon before we move to another Motion because I am still waiting for the answer. The reason is that this Question was received last night in my office and I need more details on it. That is why you have seen that I am receiving the answers while seated here. view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) I am not aware that the residents of Logologo area are currently unable to access water and pasture in Gudas and Soriadi areas due to insecurity. However, I am aware that the residents have not been taking their animals to Gudas and Soriadi as there is plenty of pasture and water in their current locations. They migrated to Logologo area several years ago. The Government has established two permanent AP camps in Gudas and Logologo areas. In addition to this, the Government has also recruited and deployed 77 Kenya Police Reservists. In ... view
• 8 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the Questioner is aware that we were recruiting police reservists. When the recruitment had been done and completed, we posted 77 Kenya Police Reservists within that area. I also mentioned to him that if there are some areas which were left out he can bring some of the names, so that we include them as police reservists. In terms of beefing up security in Gudas and the rest of those areas as I have mentioned, I will beef up security in those areas. Just give me up to September.
