    "content": "Hon. Speaker, the Member for Chuka/Igambang’ombe has asked for an explanation of the circumstances that led to the killing of Mr. Daniel Mutembei on 18th March 2023, in Nkwego Village, Rubate Location in Tharaka Nithi County, which was reported by police the following day, 19th March, 2023. On 18th March 2023, Mr. Leonard Njeru Mbuba from Rubate Location reported that his cousin, Mr. Daniel Mutembei, a male adult approximately 34 years had been attacked the previous night by known people. According to the report, Mr. Mutembei had been severely and critically injured and was left for dead and rained on for the rest of the night. He was recognised early in the morning while still alive by villagers who were taking milk to the collection point. Although critically injured, it was reported that Mr. Mutembei was able to talk, and he identified those that attacked him and gave the names of five suspects. He was taken to hospital, but the injuries were too much, and he succumbed to the injuries at the Chuka Referral Hospital. That report was made and entered into the Occurrence Book (OB). Just for the clarity of the Member and the House, the report was made that same morning of 19th March 2023. Investigations ensued and before any statements could be taken from any of the suspects, they went to Chuka High Court and obtained an anticipatory bail restraining their arrests and prosecution until the matter is heard and determined or until further orders are issued by the High Court. Those orders were issued by Lady Justice Lucy Gitari of the Chuka High Court on 27th March 2023, and the orders specifically restrained the police from arresting the said persons. The orders also required the matter to be heard today."
