"content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 5th June, 2009, at about 11.50 p.m., within Blue Farm, a resident by the name Kagwe Kangâethe, aged 60 years, was in his house when he heard some movements outside the house. He went to find out what was happening. When he opened the door he saw somebody running away. He challenged him to stop but he did not do so. He raised the alarm and neighbours responded immediately. The suspect took refuge in the home of Anne Wanjiku where the mob caught up with him. When he was unable to explain his mission in the area, he was beaten to death by the mob. The matter was reported to the police and investigations commenced. The body is lying at the Nakuru Mortuary, awaiting postmortem and identification. Police Inquest File No.9/09 was opened and the same will be forwarded to the Attorney-General for perusal and advice once investigations are complete. Again, on 8th June, 2009, at about 5 p.m., Mr. John Wanjihia, aged 58 years was sourcing for fencing posts for his homestead in a forest within Blue Area when he was confronted by a group of eight men who ordered him to leave the forest immediately. The men were strangers to him and in the process he was hit twice with a rungu on the forehead and at the back. He was treated at Eldama Ravine District Hospital and subsequently discharged. The matter was reported at the police station and Police Criminal Case File No.871/130/09 was opened. The case is under investigation. (b) In the first incident, the body of the deceased is still lying at the Nakuru Mortuary awaiting postmortem and identification. The deceasedâs fingerprints have been forwarded to the National Registration Bureau for identification. Once investigations are complete, the file will be forwarded to the Attorney-General for advice. However, any person suspected to have been involved in this crime will be charged accordingly. Regarding the second attack, Police Criminal Case File No.871/130/09 - face assault, was opened. Once the culprits are traced and arrested they will be charged accordingly. (c) These are isolated incidents which are not related to post-election violence at all. However, security has been beefed up with increased mobile and foot patrols on a 24- hour-basis within that area."
