• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I earlier said, several measures have been put in place to ensure that what happened in Homa Bay will not happen again. In view of the fact that allegations are being made that police officers are not working there, we will investigate the matter and take appropriate action if it is true that they are not doing their job. view
• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I never denied about the police station being 200 metres, neither did I confirm.

But there are adequate police officers there and if the allegation by hon. Ogindo is correct, I will have to revisit the issue and see. I will make sure that enough police officers have been taken there. view

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I thank the hon. Member for the good sentiments that he has made about giving this Statement, I would like to inform the House that during investigations, police were reliably informed that prior to his death the deceased had travelled to Nairobi, Ngara Stage and confronted a rival Sacco that broke away from Gatundu Travellers Sacco demanding to know how the rival group had secured a stage within Ngara and an office at Kobil Petrol Station.

• 7 Aug 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I did not say that the killing is normal. I said that disagreement among business people is always the cause of some of these things. We are not condoning at all that people who disagree meet their death.
