    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am ready to substantiate. On Tuesday, 5th October, 2023, during a Motion of Adjournment under Standing Order No.37 moved by Sen. Munyi Mundigi titled, “Ukosefu wa Usalama Katika Kaunti ya Turkana na Eneo la Sondu”, I contributed to the Motion giving incidences of similar conflicts that have happened in the recent past. One such incident is at the boundary between Aldai and Hamisi Constituency in Vihiga County. Animals and houses belonging to people in that area were burnt down. Sen. Cherarkey, the Senator for Nandi County, under Standing Orders No.105 and 110 requested to know why I was inciting the people of Aldai and Vihiga by alleging that there were no boundary clashes in Serem and Vihiga, which had not been recorded in any police station. Mr. Speaker, Sir, consequently, on that day, Sen. Abdul Haji was sitting in the Chair. He requested that I substantiate on the issues of clashes in Aldai and Vihiga. In this regard, I wish to substantiate as follows: (1) On the 15th August, 2023, there was an attack at Kaptikany/Koitabut Village in Aldai, which is near the boundary between Vihiga and Nandi counties. Three suspects were arrested following the incident. The matter was reported at Nandi South Police Station. The Reference Number in the Occurrence Book (OB) is 3/15/8/23. (2) On the morning of 15th August, 2023, rowdy youth estimated at 100 in number, attacked the above mentioned village. This was viewed as a retaliatory move following the death of a 32-year-old man, who was killed and his motorbike torched in the area. (3) Three houses were torched. The number of animals that were killed is not mentioned, but it is in the OB statement. There was also destruction of vegetation such as banana plantations. (4) The names of the victims are; Mr. James Chanzu, Ms. Regina Onzere and Mr. Japheth Angustustu. This is persuasion that they are Luhyas living along that border. The perpetrators who are now the suspects in the OB were; Mr. Kennedy Kibet and Mr. Nicholas Kipchoge."
