• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: I am left with two. Let me answer them in a minute. The Member for Baringo South asked when the bandits would be removed and weeded out from Rugus, Mukutani and all the other areas. I do not know, but we are doing whatever we can day and night. We do not sleep, and we will neither retreat nor surrender. We will not change our minds nor give in. We will reclaim any space and secure every part of our country, but nobody will harass us because that way, we will lose it. The language of bandits and terrorists is ... view
• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, on 3rd May 2023, KWS, while on patrol in Kalkacha Sub- Location in Wajir County, were informed that some people on a motor vehicle were dealing with game meat. The officers intercepted the vehicle. There was a fire exchange after the vehicle's occupants declined to stop. Instead, they fired at the officers. Regrettably, two officers were gunned down in that exchange. On the following day, 4th May 2023, the residents of Wajir Town demonstrated against the killing and lit bonfires on the streets. The residents, who were armed with stones, rungus, petrol bombs and machetes, tried to ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: demonstrations in Wajir; first, as the mob tried to overrun Wajir Police Station and on the second instance, as the mob tried to overrun the Kenya Power Plant in Wajir. Those deaths are regrettable. They are being investigated by the police internally, but because it is suspected that the two deaths are associated with police officers, IPOA, which is the Independent Police Oversight Authority, is carrying out parallel investigations. Without, of course, prejudicing ongoing investigations, I want to say that the police only use lethal force when the life of a police officer or another person is in imminent danger, ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. Mine regards facts to the version presented by the Hon. Member. Since investigations are ongoing, that version could also be given by way of evidence so that the evidence available can be triangulated to establish what happened. As I have said, the investigations are ongoing. That information can be supplied there. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor. view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Fortunately, for those who think that the police acted excessively, there is a track of investigations being carried out by IPOA which is independent of the police. That trajectory of investigations can help those who think our officers have done something untoward. Concerning timelines of police investigations, I am told police investigations will be over in the next two or three months because certain scientific evidence work is outstanding. However, the Cabinet Secretary has no control over the process of IPOA investigations. Those seeking answers could seek them from IPOA. Finally, we have been unable to train and deploy NPRs, ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Deputy Speaker, in response to the question by the Member for Kisumu West about the unfortunate death of Marion Otieno, significant progress has been made in tracking down the killer of the young lady. We have already arrested Benjamin Omondi, a Form III student at the same school where the young girl was schooling. Investigations so far have revealed that the murder could have been related to the two youngsters who seemed to have been in love but had separated. We have recovered a number of love letters in which the key suspect had threatened to kill the girl. ... view
