"content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Hon Tongoyo said that County Commissioners have been given 102 vehicles for use by ACCs. I do not know how that distribution was done because many of the ACCs, including the ACCs in Endebess, Chepchoina and other places, have no vehicles. I do not think they are able to even access the pooled vehicles. Secondly, out of the vehicles that are bought, 68 are given to the DCCs, and 30 are given to departmental heads. That means the vehicles remain in Nairobi within the departments thus starving those who are far away, who could utilise those vehicles. Hon. Tongoyo needs to go back and discuss further and give us the breakdown on how the 102 vehicles sent to the County Commissioners have been distributed. If possible, he should get the 30 vehicles that have been given to departmental heads to be distributed to various counties so that ACCs and DCCs can be facilitated to be able to perform their duties.

"content": "Narok West, UDA): Hon. Speaker, I appreciate the counter response from the Members. In my opening remarks, I made it very clear that there is an acute shortage of motor vehicles. I said that this problem is not just in the sub-county of the concerned Member but it is in a majority of the administrative units in the country. The solution to this problem lies in this House. It is a matter of allocation of resources – something which is done by this House. So, I call upon all Members to address the acute shortage of motor vehicles among administrative unit officers by allocating sufficient resources to the Ministry so that they can lease more."

"content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. The next request for Statement is about an incident involving Kenya Wildlife Service personnel in Marsabit County, by the Hon. Member for Turkana Central. The Member requested for a detailed account of the incident, including circumstances that led to the excessive force used by Kenya Wildlife Service; the specific action that has been initiated to ensure that thorough investigation is done; measures that the Ministry has put in place to ensure that the family of one Mr Esinyeni is compensated; and the steps being taken to de-escalate tension between Kenya Wildlife Service and the local communities, including collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife to prevent such tragic instances. Hon. Speaker, I beg to state that on 12th June 2024, at around 1830, Kenya Wildlife Service officers based at Sibiloi Game Reserve were conducting a patrol along the shores of Lake Turkana when they encountered an ambush laid by armed illegal fishermen leading to an exchange of fire, during which two Kenya Wildlife Service officers were fatally injured as follows: 1. No.6099 Samuel Longalon, an Assistant Game Warden was shot on the right part of the chest. 2. No.8249 CPL Michael Oreng’ was shot on the right part of the chest. Hon. Speaker, the incident was reported at North Horr Police Station. The bodies were later removed from the scene after processing by the Officer Commanding Station (OCS), North Horr; and the Kenya Wildlife Service Camp. Before the bodies were airlifted to Nairobi for preservation and post-mortem, on 13th June 2024, the Kenya Wildlife Service officers mounted an operation along the shores of the lake to flush out illegal fishing camps within the protected area. Three days later, it was reported at Kalelok Police Station, Turkana Central Sub-County in Turkana County that Mr Daniel Esinyen, a Turkana fisherman, was shot in the waters of Lake Turkana, allegedly by Kenya Wildlife Service officers in retaliation. Investigation into the killing of the two KWS officers has since been opened by the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCIO), North Horr. Two persons were arrested but they were found not to be connected to the case and were charged with the offense of illegal entry into a protected area. They pleaded guilty as charged and each of them was sentenced to three years imprisonment by the Marsabit Law Court. Investigation into the alleged murder of one Daniel Esinyen is also ongoing. Once the investigations are concluded, the necessary action will be taken against whoever will be found culpable. On the last part of the request, multi-agency patrols are being mounted along the neighbouring villages of Mwite, Kambi Turkana and Kokai. In addition, sensitization of members The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.

"content": " Hon. Speaker, I am not satisfied with the response. This is a very emotive matter that must be understood by the Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration, for whom I have a lot of respect. This problem still persists. As we speak, people are being killed. Some have been dropped into the lake and their fishing gear and boats confiscated. These are two separate incidents. The two KWS officers were killed by poachers. Sibiloi has fish and wild animals. We send our condolences. Secondly, the incident involving Helicopter Registration Number 5Y-KWM that was used to kill Daniel Esekon on the water has not been reported. As much as I agree that further investigation needs to be done, there is need for recommendations on how the fishermen and the wild animals can coexist within the community. There are two communities or tribes, which are the Merille sub tribe of Daasanach and the Turkana, who coexist. However, in their coexistence with KWS, there is no demarcation to understand how far the park in the lake extends. That needs to be understood. The same happens even in the central highlands."
