• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I do not think that the problem is the availability of pockets. Pockets can also be contained in the current M-pesa money transfer system. I do not think we will solve the problem by changing the uniform. I think what is important is to ensure that officers who commit such crimes are arrested and disciplinary action preferred against them. view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I want to urge my colleague to continue in the spirit of community policing relations to support us in our efforts to quell any possible future demonstrations in the area, since investigations are going on with regard to the assault. Charges have also been preferred. Let us leave the due process of law to take place. I can assure you that we shall investigate the allegations on the question of competition between matatus owned by the police and those owned by wananchi . That is also under investigations and if it is found to be correct, disciplinary ... view

• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, the accepted period is between one and two months, depending on the circumstances. That is because permission must be granted for the vacant positions to be advertised. It takes about 21 days for the Board to be convened. Applications have to be considered. The interview panel at the District Commissioner’s office processes applications; forwards the three recommended names to the area Provincial Commissioner, who will then forward them to the Permanent Secretary. There are cases where queries may arise as to the qualifications, age and other matters. That, sometimes, causes delays. In the case of Samburu East, ... view
• 3 Sep 2009 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I agree with the hon. Member that the chain is rather long. I must admit that we do have a critical shortage of personnel officers in the districts and we intend to also rectify that position. But I think we need to streamline the bureaucracy from the districts to Nairobi. But in any case, most of the time the recommendation from the ground is taken into account at the headquarters and there are very few changes that take place. view

Consequently, the officer was dealt with in Orderly Room Proceedings ... view
