    "content": "Two senior police officers and six civilians lost their lives under unclear circumstances in Kapedo. These incidents happened during police operations in the area with an aim to bring to an end cattle rustling, which has been rampant in that region. It is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following issues among others: (i) Could the Cabinet Secretary provide a chronology of events that led to the loss of lives of the two senior police officers and six civilians, who died in the hands of police officers following their arrests in Chemolingot Town in Baringo County in January 2021? (ii) What plans are in place to address the effects of the police operations in the said areas, which have caused massive internal displacement of persons and families leading to serious humanitarian crisis, starvation and the closing of social-economic amenities such as schools, hospitals, business premises and other Government departments? (iii) Could the Ministry explain the criteria used in managing and carrying out massive security operations in such areas and how vulnerable citizens, who include women, children and people living with disabilities (PWDs) are protected from adverse effects of the said operations and whether such criteria is being followed? (iv) What steps is the Ministry taking to deal with increasing cases of insecurity and, particularly, cattle rustling and the overall security management in areas ravaged by this vice, especially in Tiaty and Turkana East constituencies, including implementation of the proposed marshal plan by the Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) on social-economic transformation of the larger Suguta Valley region? (v) Could the Committee consider making an urgent fact finding visit to the affected area to ascertain the actual prevailing situation on the ground?"
