"content": "It is unfortunate that Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. is on Zoom. I was wondering how to intervene so that I could give him more information on what happened. One of the bystanders who was shot was a man who was pushing a mkokoteni . He was in his daily chores when he stopped to see what is happening and was shot dead. The other one was a man and a wife. The man was coming from a slaughterhouse; he is a slaughter man. He was with his wife and had just come from slaughtering when the bullet fell on him, leaving the woman standing there. Another one of the victims is my own campaign supporter, whom I know; a young man in university. He simply said: “Please, hold me, I feel like I have been shot.” That was the end of that young man. On the day that the CS, Dr. Matiang’i, came to the ground when all the leaders were there, they ordered that helicopters come to drive away the elephants, who can only be driven away by helicopter noise. When they came what did they do? Another three people were injured as they tried to drive away the elephants. I wanted Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., to hear this because he drove into that protest. Some of the women are said to have been knocked down as he was trying to escape. Immediately Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. left, the people were sprayed. We do not know the relationship between what happened on the ground, why they came and who told them to come. When the Cabinet Secretary, Dr. Matiangi came, he said that they will be arrested and held accountable. When he promised to bring food, I almost told him we do not need food because of our dead people. It is true we have drought, but at that moment, we did not need food. What we needed is the life of our people protected. I wanted to inform Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr., on Zoom but it was not possible."
