Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44 (2)(c), I wish to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security regarding the alleged shooting of Ms Salome Makanda by a Kenya Police Service officer. On 8th October 2024, Ms Salome Makanda, a second-year student at Bungoma National Polytechnic of ID No.41681904 was tragically shot and killed during demonstrations by Polytechnic students. The demonstrations were sparked by grievances against the administration requesting the transfer of the principal, Ms Rosebella Chukwu, on allegations of misconduct and harassment of students. It is against this background that I request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security on the following: 1. Explain the circumstances that led to the shooting and killing of Ms Salome Makanda, a resident of Malava Constituency; 2. Provide a status of the investigations into the shooting, including action taken against the police officer allegedly responsible; and, 3. Give a status report on measures the Government has put in place to offset the hospital bills for the family of the deceased."
