"content": "We are not encouraging arming of civilians because I have enough security personnel. I have enough policemen. I have enough Administration Police to do the security job. There is, as earlier indicated, an ongoing security operation and the Member of Parliament of that area knows it. This operation is aimed at other things; one, to disarm the KPRs and the so called home guards. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, it is absolutely not true that the police shot and killed two young people. On the night of 29th and 30th November 2009, a group of people from Maili Saba area went on rampage and blocked Isiolo â Subuika Road. The rampage turned violent with the demonstrators stoning motorists. They attempted to set on fire an A STU vehicle and a passenger bus. In the ensuing melee, police shot and injured Alex Mwirigi, aged 27 years. He sustained injury on the left thigh. Alphonce Mutetea aged 30 years was also injured on the left thigh. Gideon Bundi aged 38 years also sustained an injury on the left leg. The three were taken to Isiolo District Hospital where they were admitted. I want to assure this House that they are in stable condition. Measures have been put in place to curb cattle rustling in Buuri and indeed, the entire Isiolo, Laikipia and Samburu region. The ongoing disarmament is aimed at recovery of stolen livestock and illegal firearms being used by bandits. I can assure this House and the Buuri residents that the Government is doing everything possible to bring cattle rustling to an end. Thank you."
