• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the police has so far done a commendable job. We have identified people who have been stealing within the highway. As I mentioned, 21 suspects have so far been arrested. In fact, I can give the details of those suspects who have been charged as a result of stealing within the highway. We will continue arresting those who are stealing within the highway. I wish to say--- view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I said, we have arrested suspects. Some of them could be police officers. However, I cannot tell if that is the case because I had not identified any of the suspects being a police officer. My police officers are doing a commendable job to arrest the suspects. So, some of the suspects may be the police officers. In any case, if the hon. Member knows any police officer who was involved in this racket, he could furnish me with that information. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you listened to me properly, I said that those are treated as suspects. We do not have any police officer who is working and is stealing. I want to go further and give the names of those who have been arrested. We have arrested Joseph Muthama, Patrick Njeru Jackson, Samuel Mbugua and Moses Ikiru. They were charged before court on 12th March. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to confirm that we have arrested suspects. Those who have been stealing on the highway are the following: Joseph Muthama, Patrick Njeru Jackson, Samuel Mbugua and Moses Ikiru. They were charged before court on 12th March, 2010, for stealing from a locked motor vehicle vide police view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have never said that. I said I am reading the names of suspects who were arrested in possession of stolen goods. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did indicate to this House that this Question was filed in May. So, I am answering a Question of May; I am not answering a Question of yesterday. The police commandant that the questioner is talking about has so far been interdicted pending investigations as to where he got those wares. So, I do not know whether he knows--- view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did mention here and my memory is very clear, that those officers who were found with stolen goods were interdicted. The Government works like this: You interdict any person who has been mentioned on anything to do with theft. That means he is no longer an officer from the force. Later on, the same officer will be taken to court after thorough investigations to know whether he was actually involved in stealing. Again, when we are talking about this particular question, this one is completely different from what he was asking me about the officers ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, I had to remove them from that place first because they would not allow proper investigations to be done. But so far, those officers have been interdicted and they will be taken to court. If the hon. Member has contrary information, he should lay it on the Table. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Since 2010 to date, three persons have been killed, three persons injured and four others robbed in Cherangany and Koisugur locations in Marakwet District. A total of seven persons have been arrested and charged before court for the offences. I want to give the names of those who have been arrested and those who were affected. Mr. Speaker, Sir, Philip Kosgey, a male adult from Cherangany was shot on the chest with a shotgun and suffered panga cuts on the head, right arm and died instantly on 9th May, 2011, at about ... view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, let me, first of all, acknowledge what the hon. Member is saying. I only deal with cases which have been reported. If somebody is mugged or killed and there is no report given to the police station, it becomes very difficult for me to launch the investigation. I would urge those who are affected to report cases of mugging, murder and kidnapping in order for the police to come in handy to arrest those who are behind the acts. On the issue of beefing up security, yes, I will do that if you still need more ... view
