On the morning of 1st July, 2024, it was reported that an armed group attacked two men managing a market toilet in Kibuye Market. This incident is seen as part of a broader struggle for control over market management and toilet operations, which generate significant daily revenue. The violence resulted in fatalities, injuries, significant disruption of market activities and local operations. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Provide a detailed account of the events that led to the chaos at Kibuye Market on 1st July, 2024, stating any pre-existing tension or issues, and also indicate the number of fatalities and injuries that arose from the clashes. (2) Provide details on the current status of investigations into the violence and confirm whether any individuals or groups have been identified and apprehended as initiators of the violence. (3) State the immediate actions and measures taken by the County Government and security forces in response to the violence at Kibuye Market, and any long-term measures in place to ensure the safety of traders and customers at Kibuye Market. Mr. Speaker, Sir, let me move to my third Statement. I have four statements. I am a serious Senator."
