• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am quite able to give the number, but in certain cases, it is not quite good for me to give the numbers, especially in Marakwet area, of how many police officers we have in a particular station. One, the reason behind that is because if people know that we have so many police officers at a given police station, it will jeopardize the sustainability which we are undergoing. If the Questioner wants the number, I can give him privately other than publicly to avoid the interests of other groups. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Chair must also be fair to the hon. Assistant Minister. This thing happened last month. I am replying to a question of May last year and not last month. That is why I am saying this is a different question. In any case, if he wants me to table or show proof that those officers were interdicted, I said that, that is a different question but I can do that. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have no objection to that. However, let me also say that Kenyans are safe. Take it from me that Kenyans are safe. We are going to do all that it takes for Kenyans to move freely from one corner to the other. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if any member of the disciplined force is involved in any kind of theft or crime, the law is very clear. We will arrest them and take them to court. view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I mentioned earlier, if need be, I am ready to provide mobile vehicles. That will come out from the Officer Commanding Police Division (OCPD). view
• 7 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is a genuine concern. The OCPD of that particular division will inform us what he requires. Sometimes the reason he has not asked us to give him more personnel could be because he has enough vehicles for patrol. Going to what the Member for Rongai was asking, Standing Order No.80--- view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware that teachers in Lafey District were deserting schools back in November, 2011, owing to the security situation in the area at that time and not now. The exodus of the teachers followed after a Safaricom booster and Administration Police Camps in the area were attacked on 26th November, 2011. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: However, the situation has since normalized after security was beefed up within Lafey and the neighbouring Mandera East District. Out of the 42 teachers working in Arabia Primary School, Arabia Boys, Arabia Girls, Lafey Girls and Lafey Boys, only eight teachers have not reported back to work due to personal reasons and not due to insecurity because the security situation in that area has so far normalized. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: (b) The following measures have been put in place to ensure that all Government workers – not only teachers – and residents operate in a secure environment. The security along the border areas has been beefed up with more regular and administration police officers posted to volatile areas within that particular district. Security patrols have been enhanced within the district; awareness campaigns are being conducted in the district through the Provincial Administration to tell the people and the workers of the prevailing security situation and encourage the residents to volunteer information on suspicious strangers. view
• 1 Mar 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, Government employees and other people working in the district have been advised to always seek police escort whenever they are planning to travel and already, this is happening. Joint security operations are being carried out in the area to root out suspected criminals from the area and collection of intelligence has been beefed up. view
