    "content": " Thank you very much, Hon. Speaker. As a matter of fact, it is true that Hon. William Kamket is attending the funeral of our Chief Victor Sebei, who was unfortunately killed during a livestock recovery incident in Loruk. I was in Loruk, and I sent my condolences to the family. I sent the Member of Parliament to the funeral today. It was an unfortunate situation. The chiefs have done a very good job recovering livestock in Kerio Valley and partnering with the operations team to recover the livestock. There is an ongoing investigation to establish whether the Chief was killed by bandits or if it was a case of a police officer or a police reservist, as has been alleged, who shot the Chief. The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) officers were sent to the ground. They interviewed a number of people from Baringo North Constituency. Remember that this incident happened at the border between Baringo North and Tiaty constituencies. They are also carrying out investigations by interviewing people in Tiaty Constituency. Those found culpable will be charged in a Court of law. If they are security officers, they will be dismissed. The process is ongoing. I requested the Inspector-General of Police to ensure that those investigations are expedited because we do not want the peace between the two constituencies to be jeopardised by retaliatory acts as a result of that incident. I am very aware of the situation of the late Chief Victor Sebei. Hon. Speaker, on the Question of waivers, I also agree with Hon. Pkosing that in the absence of qualified professionals from certain locations and sub-locations, some residents from those constituencies end up getting jobs but they had already migrated to other parts. For example, residents of Sigor Constituency may have migrated to Kapenguria Town. However, because of the absence of a qualified professional, the residents may come back to serve in that constituency. As I indicated earlier, we will take that into consideration. I have even received requests from Samburu residents who feel that the individual who would make a good chief in The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
