In the Statement, the Committee should – (1) State the circumstances that led to the gangs and goons accessing the office of the Eldoret City Manager, Mr. Koyet, and forcefully evicting him from the office and thereafter harassing other staff in the presence of county security officers in Uasin Gishu County; (2) Update the Senate on the status of investigations into the Uasin Gishu County Headquarters incidents, giving reasons why the perpetrators have not been arrested to date yet, the incident happened in the full glare of cameras and highlighted the state of security for staff working in the county and other counties across the country, including Uasin Gishu County Government, and the actions they have taken; (3) Outline any actions taken by the police against those alleged to be the sponsors of this hooliganism, stating the number of culprits apprehended and arraigned before courts in similar incidents that took place in Nairobi, Isiolo, Nandi and Uasin Gishu County, where there have been claims of goons used in demolition, eviction, harassment and chaos within the counties, including even your county, including Meru County; and, (4) Explain any actions taken against officers from Nairobi City County, including the Governor of Nairobi, hon.
