• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the issue that should concern the Government and the KWS is part "b" of the Question. When the disappearance of the rhino horn trophies was discovered they never invited the police to investigate the issue. Secondly, they sent a team from Nairobi to go and investigate quietly to check whether there had been a leakage of the transaction that happened. This idea of charging people is an afterthought. Could the Assistant Minister state how concerned they are and where those trophies are because they are not like liquid which you can pour on the ground then it ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, when the theft was reported, it was an operation done from the headquarters. I want to state here categorically that there is no case before any court in this country. Secondly, these are police file records. The case has never been taken to court. If the Assistant Minister is saying that the matter is before court, where do we go from here? The reference numbers given here are for police file records. Could we be told which police station these files are? Why not Maua? Why go to Meru Town which is 70 kilometres away? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, could the Assistant Minister clarify between the two issues? This is because if you have the words "persona non grata" inscribed on a passport, it means that the person has been in Tanzania and he has been caught in some serious crime or implicated in investigations and then they exclude him from being a resident there. But, if we are having people who are just crossing the border and their passports are stamped "persona non grata", it is very serious and irregular. So, could he clarify between the two positions? view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir, for giving me the opportunity to contribute to this Vote. Mr. Speaker, Sir, many people think that the face of the Office of the President is the DCs, chiefs and others. But over the years, or on a daily basis, the face of the Office of the President is a policeman. It is for that reason that we should focus on the image of policemen as a country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the most memorable thing about the police by the public is collecting petty bribes. For those who go to police stations to report incidents ... view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: from people who go to report crime may not be as visible as the one which happens at police roadblocks. Majority of tourists who travel by road go with very nasty memories of their encounters with the police at roadblocks. So, Mr. Speaker, Sir, as we debate and deliberate over this huge amount of money to the Office of the President, we would ask the Minister and the Police Commissioner--- view
• 12 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, many of us expect to have a dignified country. That dignity is ruined policeman who collect Kshs20, Kshs50 or Kshs100 at a police roadblock. We want the Minister, when he is replying, to tell this country about those shameful acts of collecting money at police roadblocks. He should consult the Police Commissioner. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have, on very many occasions on the Floor of this House, talked about a roadblock in Maua Town. As you enter into the town, a minimum of six police officers parade there on a daily basis for more hours than any ... view

• 11 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, under Standing Order No.69, I was rising to address the same issue whereby in my contribution last week, on July 3rd, on the Media Bill, I did quote a specific incident on a specific media house on page 2136 of the HANSARD. In the entire speech, which was three pages, the media gave it a blackout. However, as an afterthought which happened not on Tuesday the same day, or Wednesday or Thursday, but yesterday, the behaviour of the journalists is as what you have been told by Mr. Sambu. However, what I did say, in ... view
• 10 Jul 2007 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to ask the Minister for Tourism and Wildlife the following Question by Private Notice. (a) Under what circumstances did seven rhino horn trophies disappear from the Meru National Park on 17th February, 2007, seven days after the inventory was taken? (b) What action has been taken to recover the trophies given that the security department facilitated the smuggling and cover-up? view
