• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, is the Vice-President in order to try and avoid this Question? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I think we are being taken in circles by the Vice-President. If you look at the Question, it asks clearly why the three officers; Ambrose Ngare, Martha Samu, and Andrew Ojal were charged. In all these cases where they were charged, a nolle prosequi was entered. How then can it be sub judice to tell us why they were charged in the first place, in a case that is concluded? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Why were they retired in public interest? This is an administrative issue. We are asking whether investigations were ever carried out about the prison warders’ strike of 2008. If he wants to omit any part which is sub judice that is where he should be concentrating on. But as the three questions stand, nothing in them would infringe on the case before the court. I am asking whether it is in order for us to request that he be compelled to answer without further delay. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. It is unfortunate that this matter has not been handled satisfactorily. You heard the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs say that the officers were dismissed following the famous prisons officers’ strike in 2008. Indeed, I have the charge sheet that was preferred against Ambrose Ogeto Ngare which states that on 25th April, 2008 at King’ong’o Government of Kenya Prison in Nyeri District within Central Province, being the Provincial Prisons Commander of Central Province, he incited prisons officers at the said prison by ordering them not to return on duty. I want to table ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: As a matter of fact, and which the Vice-President and the Minister for Home Affairs should be able to confirm to this House and the country, there were no riots or strike in King’ong’o or in any other prison in Central Province and that is the reason a view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: was entered against Ambrose Ogeto Ngare. Why was he then subsequently dismissed and yet the Constitution protects him from unfair treatment and provides for due process? Why was he sacked when there were no riots? view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs has answered that they were dismissed following the riots. The only point I am following is for him to confirm to this House that the charge sheet was about King’ong’o Prison. He needs to confirm as a matter of fact because it will be in the Report he tabled that there were no riots anywhere in the prisons in what used to be Central Province. Therefore, there were no riots in all the prisons under the command of Mr. Ngare with which the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs ... view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, that is the gist of my question. The case was withdrawn and then he was dismissed. It means there was no basis whatsoever. view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: We have not seen the proceedings! view
• 4 Aug 2011 in National Assembly: On a point of order, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir. The point that, perhaps, the House has not captured is that the dismissal was in 2009 and the letter of commendation was written only last year after the dismissal. The Prisons Department is saying of Mr. Ngare that he discharged his administrative functions extremely well. view
