    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, if you order me to answer the Question again, I will do so. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) On 27th October, 2011, at about 8.30 a.m., the late James Waweru, the late Yusuf Godana, the Principal of Lafey Secondary School; the late Hassan Sheikh Ali, an ex-councillor and the late Birik Mohamed, were on board Motor Vehicle KAT 966Y, Toyota Hillux Surf, driving from Lafey to Mandera to collect Kenya Certificate of Secondary Education (KCSE) Physics examination apparatus. In their company were Messrs. Abdi Mohamed Aden, Hare Gulo and two Kenya Police Reservists, who were escorting the vehicle. It was while they were driving between Lafey and Fino, about 120 kilometres East of Mandera Police Station, that they came into an ambush laid by about 20 armed men believed to be members of Al Shabaab who had crossed from Somalia. The two police reservists alighted from the motor vehicle to confirm who had blocked the road. However, before they could verify, they were shot at and an exchange of fire ensued. The assailant fired a rocket propelled grenade at the motor vehicle, killing the occupants instantly and destroying the vehicle completely. The two police reservists suffered injuries and were later treated and discharged."
