    "content": "(Hon. (Prof.) Kithure Kindiki): I partially answered the question by Hon. (Dr) Robert Pukose in the sense that it is not clear, up to now, whether the late Police Constable Kiprop had been assigned duties in Kathanje market. There are conflicting testimonies that, on the one hand, they were sent to go there and conduct an arrest, and that is how he met his death. Other witnesses say there were no such orders, and they had been assigned to work in Kathwana Market and, somehow, it is not clear how they found themselves in Mr Mureithi's shop in another market five kilometres away. That is something that is being investigated. I want to plead with the Member to be patient. Where I agree with him entirely is that the process has been slow. Secondly, he has asked about the OCS and given the facts of this case I would have expected that perhaps the OCS testimony would shed light on whether he had actually sent them to conduct the operation they were conducting when they died or if it is not true, then that can help us move forward. As you know, it is not in law on the recruitment or replacement, but I will follow up with my officers to establish if commitments have been made. We often make those commitments in solidarity with our officers and their families because of their sacrifices. I will follow up on behalf of the family and the people of Endebess to ensure that, that commitment is honoured. Thank you."
