    "content": " Hon. Speaker, Hon. Malulu Injendi sought a statement regarding the shooting of one Ms Salome Makanda by a Kenya Police officer. He sought to know the circumstances that led to the shooting, status of the investigations, and status report on the measures the Government has taken. On 8th October 2024, students from Bungoma National Polytechnic went on rampage. Police officers were consequently called to restore peace and secure the institution’s infrastructure. However, the students resisted all the efforts to restore calmness. In the ensuing melee, a student, Ms Salome Ayaka Wekesa, was fatally injured. Several police officers were also injured and were rushed to Bungoma West Hospital where they were treated and discharged in fair condition. A motor vehicle GKB 862Z Isuzu lorry’s windscreen was shattered and its left rear tyre deflated. The investigations are at an advanced staged by the DCI and Independent Policing Oversight Authority (IPOA). The rifle that was involved during the incident has been forwarded to DCI for further ballistic examination with the aim of opening an inquiry file. Hon. Speaker, the third question was on whether there is compensation. The State Department for Interior and National Administration has no vote-head to cater for the hospital bill. I wish to pass my condolences to the family of the deceased person. Thank you, Hon. Speaker."
