    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, following an earlier attack against the Boranas on 15th November, 2009 by suspected cattle rustlers from Samburu and Turkana, where nine persons were killed, the police received intelligence reports indicating that some of the bandits at “Holuku” Manyatta, were armed with illegal arms and had earlier raided Ndumuru, which is within Tigania District. On 21st November, 2009, a combined force of security officers conducted a cordon and searched for illegal arms at the said manyatta. As they approached the manyatta, they were attacked by the suspected bandits. This prompted an exchange of fire between the bandits and the security personnel. Contrary to what the hon. Member alleged, the shooting by the security personnel was not indiscriminate. They were responding to an attack by the suspected bandits. It is not true that the police left the injured and the dead persons. After the exchange of fire, the security officers found out that two people, Lopeyok Lenkupala and Naisumari Lenakwena had been injured. They were rushed to Isiolo District Hospital"
