    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. Pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order No.44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security regarding recent killings of young men in Embu County, Kitengela in Kajiado County and other parts of the country. It is of great concern and deeply regrettable that in the recent past, and in particular, in August 2021, a number of killings have been recorded across the country. Benson Njiru Ndwiga and Emmanuel Mutura Ndwiga lost their lives in Embu, while Moses Kimanthi Njiru lost his life in Manyatta . Further, four young men, namely; Fred Mureithi, aged 30; Victor Mwangi, a businessman aged 25; Mike George, aged 29; and Nicholas Musa, aged 28 were murdered in Kitengela on 8th August 2021 and their three motorbikes burnt along with their identity cards. In Kiptagich Location in Nakuru County, a Form Two student named Emmanuel Kipkoech Rono was allegedly shot dead by police officers. It is against this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and National Security on the following: (i) What is the status of investigations into the killings of the said young men, namely, Benson Njiru Ndwiga, Emmanuel Mutura Ndwiga, Moses Kimanthi Njiru, Fred Mureithi, Victor Mwangi, Mike George, Nicholas Musa and Emmanuel Kipkoech Rono in the said places on different dates? (ii) Could the Chairperson explain whether any of the Government investigating agencies have managed to uncover the motives for the murders and whether any suspects have been apprehended and brought to book? (iii) Could the Chairperson explain what measures the Government has taken to inquire into the matter to ensure such incidences are handled with urgency and whether police officers have acquired safe de-escalation techniques to enable them defuse situations, especially where suspects are not armed? Could the Chairperson further explain how often the security personnel undertake refresher courses? (iv) What measures is the Ministry putting in place to ensure that affected families are duly compensated for the pain and suffering brought with the loss of lives of their The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
