(a) On 27th June, 2012, Pastor James Omollo Atieno of ABC Church, Kayole, was asleep in his house within the church compound situated within Soweto Area near Masimba Stage in Kayole.

• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, from the information which I have given, I think the watchman made frantic efforts to communicate with the pastor before he was hacked to death.

When it is reviewed, maybe that will give us the way forward in co-ordinating the activities of NEMA and the police, so that it will be easy to take the necessary action. I can understand the concerns of hon. Members; the increasing trend of crime under the Act may be due to weak enforcement legal structure. I said the legal structure is there and provides for up to a fine of Kshs5 million; therefore, we will emphasize ... view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I said earlier, I think NEMA is under the Minister for Environment and Mineral Resources; I am sure that from the answers that I have given, there will be need to look into the Act. Therefore, we are going to communicate to the Ministry concerned, so that there will be a co-ordination between the police and NEMA as the enforcement agency. view
• 30 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, to some extent the hon. Member is right. I will direct the Provincial Administration and the police to be on the lookout and bring to justice anybody found vandalizing those things. view
