    "content": "scheduled to take place on 28th by the Government officials were lawful, legitimate and grounded in due process. On the last part on why the Ministry retained the police officers in Angata Lolgorian beyond their useful period, no officer has been retained in Lolgorian Police Station beyond their designated or useful period. All officers posted at Lolgorian Police Station have served for less than three years. All transfers and postings are carried out in strict adherence to the stipulated National Police Service human resource policies and guidelines. Regular staff transfers are maintained to promote efficiency, minimise complacency and ensure that officers gain diverse experience in different operational environments. Additionally, periodic reviews are conducted to assess the duration of service in each station, and necessary actions are taken promptly to avoid overstays. The current staffing situation reflects a well-structured rotation system aligned with institutional objectives and public service best practices. Lastly, we request members of the public to remain calm and maintain law and order. We encourage the parties involved to resolve this dispute amicably. I submit this Statement which was signed by Hon. Kipchumba Murkomen, EGH, Cabinet Secretary for Interior and National Administration on 30th April 2025. Hon. Temporary Speaker, kindly, before the Member reacts to the Statement, I remind the House that one, this Statement was slated to be responded to about two or so weeks ago, but the Member was out of the country. He requested that it waits until he is back. From the response, the letter was signed on 30th April 2025 which is almost a whole month’s difference. Ever since the signing, a lot of activities have taken place. There is a lot of water that has gone under the bridge. I am sure when the Member will get the opportunity to contribute to this Statement, he will attest that even as we talk, there are a lot of negotiations and mediations that are underway. One is being spearheaded by my good friend here, Hon. Ng’eno, to look for a lasting solution to this problem. It is also on record that the Committee that I chair, the Departmental Committee on Administration and Internal Security, visited the Angata Barrikoi area a couple of months because of the same problem. The Report is ready for tabling in this House. Even then, we were lucky to get the car that we delivered to the police officers which will enable them to respond to distress calls and execute their mandate. That is the response. I do not want to pre- empt the issue of the DCC being transferred or not but, I confirm that the DCC got a transfer letter. The only hitch was that the DCC who was supposed to report was going on leave which delayed the handover. Despite the Member for Kilgoris being a Member of this House, he was a very senior civil servant before. Hon. Ng’eno was also a very senior civil servant. Maybe, there is the issue of handing over."
