• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Speaker. It is true there have been cases of insecurity in Mwingi Central and North. First, last month, I toured that area and measures were taken to ensure we manage the perennial conflicts between herders and farmers. Already, security committees with participation from elders and local leaders are coming up with a framework on how to manage these perennial disputes that lead to altercations and loss of lives from time to time.

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Second, we have cases of marauding gunmen spotted severally and some of them have killed people. I think we have had, at least, two murders in that region. There is one particular lone gunman who had been spotted in several places. I think he killed two Kenyans and was attacking people, and robbing them on the highway somewhere around Ukasi as you go to Mwingi. About 10 days ago, he had a date with justice because after robbing some civilians, he attempted to rob some police officers who were on duty, not knowing that would be the end of him. ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Hon. Speaker, in response to the question raised by the Member for Mwingi Central, the incident that he is talking about was caused by operational challenges, which have since been addressed. Most officers serving in security-sensitive areas are doing a good job. They are trying their best to do what is humanly possible. Sometimes we get operational challenges for reasons which I will explain in a short while. We got the identity of the victim of the shooting. I wanted to clarify because extrajudicial killings are sometimes mixed up with the fight against crime. This person wanted to kill police ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: Yes. I wanted to mention his name because he is well-known. The fellow is called Noor Mustafa. He was 36 years old. Many residents came and testified that he was the one who had killed their relatives. He was in the process of trying to liquidate two officers whom he had stopped at night in the middle of the road. The Member for Mwingi Central also asked whether we have the equipment to deal with armed bandits. We do. That includes the new units that we have set up in Mandungoi, which is not far from Ukasi. We also have ... view

• 8 Nov 2023 in National Assembly: modernisation programme so that we take our police service to the next level. That process has begun. Going forward, Kenyans can expect better services and responses from our security agencies. More importantly, we want to ensure that bandits, terrorists and criminals find it difficult, if not impossible, to bring down our officers. We have lost a few officers and it is very painful when an officer wearing our country’s uniform is brought down by a criminal. Therefore, that modernisation programme will go a long way in ensuring that we are even better prepared in the days ahead. I agree with ... view
