    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. On the night of 15th/16th March, 2010, four people were found grisly murdered in South Ngariama Settlement Scheme in Kirinyaga South District. Information available at the time pointed to the persons opposed to the settlement scheme including the elders and the Member of Parliament for Mwea Constituency. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the elders and area Member of Parliament had been making public utterances which had negated security and peace in the settlement scheme. They have been quoted in public forums uttering sentiments to the effect that those settled in South Ngariama by Kirinyaga County Council are there illegally and must be removed by all means necessary. The elders who were arrested include Stanley Murithi Warui who hails from Kangai Location, Kirinyaga South District; Michael Munyao Mulwa Tebere - Kirinyaga South District; Geofrey Mudhii Mugweru - Kianyaga Location, Kirinyaga East District; Geofrey Njeru Rupinga -Nyakati, Kirinyaga South; Jack Mungai Kachoya - Kangai Location, Kirinyaga South District; Paul Kariuki Nyamu - Murinduku Location, Kirinyaga South District; Joel Mwaniki Gathiku - Kiine Location, Kirinyaga West District; John Kugeria Kungu - Tebere Location, Kirinyaga South District; Ruriga Gichangi - Thimba Location, Kirinyaga South District; Moses Gachuki Kimwea - Njukiini Location, Kirinyaga East District; Simon Mbugu - Murinduko Location, Kirinyaga South District; Silas Njiru Njine Bakabingu - Kangai Location, Kirinyaga South District; Stephen Njeru Muriithi - Barigwi Location, Kirinyaga East; Nahashon Mugo Kabeu - Barigwi Location, Kirinyaga East District. Mr. Speaker, Sir, all the above mentioned are suspects and are believed to be behind the previous attacks on the settlers of this scheme. They are also suspected to be organizing terror groups which have been terrorizing those who are settled there. It is not true that the suspects were only arrested by the Administration Police. Both regular police and Administration Police, together with the District Criminal Investigation Officer (DCIO’s) office participated in the hunt and arrest of the suspects and the organizers. From the above list, those arrested hail from the larger Kirinyaga which includes Gichugu, Ndia and Mwea constituencies. Those who were arrested had already been handed over to the DCIO Kirinyaga to follow up investigations which are yet to be concluded. All those"
