• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as at now, I do not have any shortage of security officers but if need be, there are two things which I will do; I will withdraw the security of Mr. C. Kilonzo in order for me to take them to Moyale. We are in the process of advertising for recruitment of more police officers. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, if you heard me correctly, I said “if need be”. In other words, if I want more security officers, I will have no choice but to withdraw those of my colleagues who are having four or five security officers. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: It is not true. What we have done is that we had forceful disarmament and where we have disarmed, we were replacing with Kenya Police Reservists (KPR). That is the trend that we are still going to use in order for that particular area where we have disarmed to have enough security officers. We are also beefing up security detectives within those areas where we have disarmed. The Government is doing a commendable job to make sure that law and order is obeyed. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, indeed, it is true that we received information that tension was building up especially in Kapedo area. What have we done as a Government? We have ferried the General Service Unit (GSU) personnel and not just the regular police and Administration Police (APs) last night. If we were to go to Kapedo today, you will come and congratulate me. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have no problem in Kapedo now although there is tension--- view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, ordinarily, those are hotspot areas. I am saying that I have already taken the GSU to Kapedo to patrol that area. So, we are monitoring the situation. If we need to add more officers, we will do it this evening. view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I did mention here that I am not going to act. I am saying that I have already started. We are acting. We are going to the ground and arresting people. I even mentioned to my colleagues that those top politicians they are talking about will be arrested in order for us to have law and abiding--- view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, in order for us to have law abiding citizens. I would also like to ask my colleagues that they should also know what to say where. This is because as my colleagues, if we see a magnitude of people, we normally go overboard and say something which will amount to incitement. I would not like to say here what I will do but the Government will take action against those who are out to incite people. I want to repeat that the Government will take action. Hon. Olago--- view
• 21 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, it is in the public domain that I do not charge people but I only arrest. The Director of Public Prosecution charges people! The hon. Member is a lawyer and he knows that I only arrest. I will arrest anybody who incites any supporter or clan, and I will do it. Let my colleagues also try so that they see that I have the power to arrest. I will arrest! view
• 16 Feb 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
