• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, at the time of his death, the late Stephen Waweru Njenga was out on a bond of Kshs1 million granted by the High Court on 18th February, 2011, where he had been charged with the murder of the late James Kamau Machua vide police case file No. CR/211/06 2011 and High Court Criminal Case No.4.2011.

• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, the issue of Mboi- Kamiti is a very sad affair. That is because once the office bearers get threatened, they normally get killed. That is why I have done two things. One, I have opened a police post within the farm itself. Secondly, I have directed the CID to move with speed and arrest those who want to threaten or those who want to kill innocent members of Mboi-Kamiti. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not want to give some information because that is exactly what the CID is doing right now. If I go beyond ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, that is a very sad thing that happened. As I mentioned, one would ask, why people from the Gabbra community? I want to commend the efforts of the police and the security personnel within Moyale, because we managed to arrest those who were creating this mayhem. It is not true that we do not have a CID officer on the ground. As we are talking, we have more than one CID Officer. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I will explain to him what he wants to hear. The Government has beefed up security, as I mentioned. With regard to the issue of the Kenya Police Reservists (KPR), right now, even the Members of Parliament from that area know that we are vetting those that we want to supply with the guns. We cannot allow any Tom, Dick and Harry to carry a gun. We have to vet those who will carry a gun or be the KPRs. We are not going to do it in one location but we will do it in ... view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I would like to ask the Members of Parliament from that area to consult with us, as a Ministry on weekly basis, so that loopholes can be sealed. I want to assure him that we will do what it takes for his people to live in peace and harmony. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to assure this House that those who are behind these heinous acts will be arrested, taken to court and charged with murder. view
• 8 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker that is why I was inviting him to our office so that we can agree which areas require police posts. But right now, I have sent a contingent of police officers, including regular and Administration Police together with the General Service Unit (GSU) officers. You know what it is when the GSU are there on the ground. I know he will be going there this weekend. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, things are under control. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I have already dealt with this Question. What was remaining was to find out whether it was possible for this particular officer to be reinstated. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: I have also received some information from the Questioner, and I would request that Constable Gerald Kioko appeals directly, through the presiding officer, in order for us to work on this particular case. That would be the best way to go about this matter. view
• 7 Dec 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I was taking this matter seriously because of the information I got from the Questioner. The officer did not appeal as per the procedures. The letter that he wrote, which was purported to have been an appeal, was done by the Questioner, and he is the one who took it to the Commissioner of Police. What I am saying is that the officer should appeal through the right channel, by giving it to his presiding officer, so that it can go all the way to the Commissioner of Police. That is when his appeal will be ... view
