    "content": " On Wednesday, Mr. Njoroge Baiya stood on a point of order and sought a Ministerial Statement on the murder of former Chairman of Mboi- Kamiti Company Limited. In the Statement, he wanted a clarification on the circumstances under which the former chairman of Mboi-Kamiti Farmers Company Limited, Mr. Stephen Waweru Njenga, met his death on 18th November, 2011, and whether this recent killing and the killing of former director, the late Kamau earlier this year are related to the wrangles in Mboi-Kamiti Farmers Company Limited. Finally, he wanted a clarification on the measures the Government proposed to institute to resolve the series of murders in relation to the running of the affairs of the company, particularly to resolve the long-standing controversies which now pose serious threats to law and order. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I wish to state as follows: On 18th November, 2011, the former chairman of Mboi-Kamiti Farmers Limited, Mr. Stephen Waweru Njenga, left his home of residence in Githunguri at 8.30 a.m. accompanied by one of his domestic employees, Joseph Kamau Muchiri, driving his motor vehicle registration No. KBK 702 Toyota Corolla NZE. As the deceased was driving along Kwa Maiko-Kiambu Road, another motor vehicle, registration No. KAV 675P Toyota Corolla Ex Saloon, white in colour with three occupants overtook them, they drove behind for some time. On reaching Kahoya area which borders Kiambu and Githunguri districts, the white vehicle pulled to a stop on the right side of the road and two men alighted. One in a black suit and the other in blue jeans and a white shirt. The deceased slowed down as he approached the two men and rolled down the driver’s window. The man dressed in a black suit greeted the deceased using the title “chairman”. However, before the deceased could respond, the man pulled out a gun and shot him once in the right cheek. The two suspects walked back to their car which made U-turn and drove back towards Kwa Maiko. The employee who was left in the car took control of the motor vehicle and drove to Kiambu Police Station where he reported the incident vide OB No.24/18/11/2011. The victim was taken to Kiambu District Hospital where unfortunately, he was pronounced dead on arrival. The scene was visited by the police from Kiambu and Githunguri and investigations commenced immediately vide police case file No.CR 211/448/2011. On the same day, a postmortem was performed at Kenyatta University Mortuary and the cause of death was found to be due to severe neck injuries due to a single gunshot. I wish to table the postmortem report which I have with me."
