• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I will bring it. But it is very unlikely that the criteria will cut across. That is because there are some cases where you have community interest, communication and land mass. In pastoral areas like where you come from, we cannot apply the same criteria as Central Province. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, unfortunately, because of Mr. K. Kilonzo’s absence, his Question has now been modified to something different. I have no problem bringing the comprehensive list of constituencies. For example, Mr. K. Kilonzo’s constituency has two districts. So, I can bring the criteria for the whole country and everything else on Thursday, next week. view

• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: (a) John Ngeny, P/No.1994061315 and Joseph K. Milgo, P/No.1994060775, assistant chiefs of Chepkegei and Kapekelei locations were suspended on 29th June, 2010 for suspected involvement in cattle rustling. view

There was also suspicion that the chiefs were probably part of it because they were not taking any action. On further investigation, the real culprits were found and the officers were cleared of lack of accountability on their part. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are also involving district peace committees and community policing from both sides. In addition to that, we have also increased the number of anti-stock theft units and police posts along the Sotik side of the border. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Yes, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The interdictions were lifted and I have evidence to the effect that their salaries have been refunded. view
• 26 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, normally, when one is cleared, his or her moral standing improves. I am sure they are given apologies for being wrongly suspended. It is also true that the chain of command was not followed. The PC was over enthusiastic to stamp out cattle rustling and when he arrived, and since that was at the border, he went directly, while ignoring the chain of command and interdicted the officers without passing through the regional commissioners. I do accept that, that problem was there and I can assure you that the two PCs have now sorted out the matter ... view
