• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the matter itself is in court. It is a sub judice case. I want to say that it is in this House where I did mention that incitement to residents of whatever area will be tantamount to chaos. Politics is one of the conflicts. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I was saying that those are very volatile areas and I want to say that in some of these areas conflicts are due to political differences. There are some clans who want their own to be a governor or a senator. There are some small things. I would like to request that I go on with investigations in order for me to arrest some of these guys without coming with the problems facing that particular area.

It is compiling its report and it is yet to release the report to the Commissioner of Police. It is true that there are clans who are fighting one another but what we are to do is to negotiate and agree on the way forward in order for us to maintain peace, law and order. We also have Members of Parliament from that area talking to each and every grouping or clan to maintain the peace that we require. view

If you look at the people whom I have arrested, they are politicians who were basically inciting their grassroots supporters. I want to assure this House that I am still continuing. I am going to arrest more. Forget about this councillor and the former Member of Parliament, I am going to arrest more. Read my lips! I am going to arrest more! view

• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, at the very beginning, I said that we have enhanced the collection of intelligence. It is through this organ that we get information that there will be tension. If there was no intelligence collection, so many people would have died. I want to say that they are doing a very good job and that is why we could be able to apprehend before it spilled. I want to assure this House that we have enough detectives on the ground. We also have enough security on the ground. Hopefully, more investigations will be done in order for us ... view
