Milka was shot in the mouth with an arrow. Her 22-year-old son, Tonny Owiyo, was shot in the lower abdomen, with the arrow remaining lodged in his body. Upon the victims raising an alarm, the attackers fled the scene without stealing anything. Following the distress call, police responded, and the victims were rushed to Nyabondo Mission Hospital, where they were admitted in fair condition. The incident was booked vide OB NO.02/03/01/2025 in Ogoro Police Station, and investigations commenced, which led to the arrest of three suspects: Dennis Kipruto Kemboi, Jeremiah Kipkorir Kosgei alias Kiptangus, and Geoffrey Kibet Chirchir. The suspects were arraigned at Oyugis Law Court under CR688/21/2025 (Court File: MCCRE109/2025) and CR688/22/2025 (Court File: MCCREl10/2025). The police continue to investigate the matter, and efforts are ongoing to determine whether other suspects were involved in the attack. The following strategies have been employed to address underlying issues contributing to violence and conflict in the region: 1. Peace initiatives are ongoing in the region. 2. Appeals to the National Land Commission (NLC) to resolve historical land injustices, which are a major cause of conflict in some of the areas, including those that have caused the murder of people from these communities. The following collaborative efforts have been employed to foster peace and security in the affected areas. Security agencies and the county government are collaborating in leading a security intelligence committee with representation of the county leadership to deal with the challenges and develop effective strategies. There are also community partnership and involvement initiatives, as well as working with non-governmental organisations in the area for humanitarian assistance and economic empowerment programmes. On Question 31/2025 by the Member for Nyaribari Masaba, Hon. Manduku, part one is on the status of gazettement and deployment of security personnel to Ichuni Police Station in Ichuni Ward. The station is a community-driven initiative developed in collaboration with the area Member of Parliament to address security concerns in the area. The local police commander has been directed to submit their logistical and personnel requirements to facilitate the operationalisation and gazettement of the station. So, the Member cannot be accused like another citizen who built his own police station. Whereas we appreciate the good initiative, we are now working to ensure it is operationalised. That is on a light note. The National Police Service (NPS) will consider the following requirements for the establishment and operationalisation of the police station: 1. Land ownership: Confirmation of whether land ownership has been transferred to NPS to avoid ownership disputes in the future. 2. Personnel requirement: The local police commander has been directed to forward the number of personnel needed for the operationalisation of the police station for consideration and deployment. 3. Utilities: Confirmation of availability of essential services such as water and electricity supply to support daily operations effectively. 4. Accommodation: Confirmation of availability of housing for police officers. 5. Furniture: Confirmation that the station has been furnished. 6. Infrastructural design: Confirmation that the station structure meets the standard design stipulated in the Service Standing Orders, which include a reception area, valuable exhibit store, radio room, OCS office, deputy OCS office, petty crimes office, record office, OC traffic office, general office, interrogation office, cell with proper sanitation, exhibit store and sufficient ablution facilities.
