    "content": "(Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki): If you can direct, I can table the statistics of recoveries from the time the operations began. In fact, I can even take it backwards a bit to two months before and these two months when they have been in operation, the recoveries, where and what is remaining. I may be informing the House through you that I am informed that the High Court in Chuka has ruled in favour of the prosecution counsel and the State, to cancel the anticipatory bail on the suspected killers. Other than that, let me mention or respond to the other issues quickly. We are strengthening the IPOA to supplement the work of the Internal Affairs Unit of the NPS to provide an independent arm of the state that can help in dealing with extra-judicial killings. I can confirm and assure the House and the Member for Manyatta that all instances of extra-judicial killings are actively under investigation. The policy of this administration is zero tolerance to extra-judicial killings. Police officers have been informed accordingly that we shall not protect any officer who misuses their firearm to kill people in a manner other than what the law provides on the use of lethal force in law enforcement. That includes the issue around the killings in Kianjokoma. The Member for Baringo North, Hon. Makilap, raised the second one. Yes, it is true there was that incident. I want to tie that to the other supplementary question raised by the Member or the Women Representative for Elgeyo/Marakwet, because they are related. There was an incident at the Iten County Referral Hospital. The person involved is a suspected bandit because he had bullet wounds and could not explain where he was shot. He just came for treatment. We also believe that the people who came to rescue him were criminals, because The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
