    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I am aware that on 20th April, 2009, not on 19th, motorcycle riders from different parts of Kirinyaga District converged and rode towards Karatina Market with some carrying a number of passengers. Mr. Speaker, Sir, the group was demonstrating against increased Mungiki activities in Kirinyaga District claiming that the sect operators originated from Karatina. They were, however, intercepted by the police at a roadblock between Kagumo and Karatina and ordered to go back home. However, some of the passengers alighted and proceeded on foot to Karatina where they held a demonstration against the sect but were later dispersed by the police. Mr. Speaker, Sir, after the demonstration by the boda boda operators on the 20th April, 2009, the sect members regrouped and hatched a retaliatory attack to reassert themselves, which they executed the following day, 21st April, 2009 at a village called Gathaithi in Mathira District."
