    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to seek a Ministerial Statement from the Minister of State for Provincial Administration and Internal Security on two incidents that affected my constituents on 26th September and 5th October, 2008. Mr. Speaker, Sir, on 26th September, five head of cattle were shot dead by a combined force of the County Council of Isiolo and the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers in Shaba National Reserve. On 5th October, Administration Police Officers, under the instruction of the Provincial Commissioner, Rift Valley Province, carried out security operations in Samburu East District and forcefully took away 85 sheep and goats from Samburu in Sere-olipi area and drove them to Isiolo District. I wish to seek clarification on the following issues: First, why did the rangers shoot dead the animals, and who gave the order? Secondly, what action is the Minister going to take against the rangers and also to ensure that the owners of the shot animals are adequately compensated? Thirdly, could the Minister clarify why the 85 goats and sheep belonging to the Samburu were driven to Isiolo, and in whose custody are these animals now? Fourthly, could the Minister consider stopping the ongoing security operation in Samburu East and seek an amicable solution?"
