    "content": "They were targeted, killed and not a single coin or livestock was taken from those people. In both cases, a father and a son among others were killed. They wanted to totally exterminate these people from the face of the earth. This is the case and yet this Government has not done anything up to now. Gabbras are a minority in Moyale and they only have one elected councillor and maybe one or two assistant chiefs, and yet this Assistant Minster stands here and says that this is not a case where a dominant community is exterminating the minority in that county. It is because of this incident and similar crisis that we had the Turbi Massacre and as a result we lost five Members of Parliament from that county in 2005 and that is what is just about to happen. This Government, up to today, has not done anything tangible for those people to see that it actually cares about the people of Marsabit County. I was there two days ago with hon. Mahamud and the people of Moyale. The area DC did not even attend that peace meeting; he did not even care when the elders were trying to reconcile and yet he is still there. There is nothing being done to stop the massacre happening in Moyale. Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, finally, as he was speaking, he said that investigations are being done. There is not even a single CID Office in Moyale District. I was there two days ago with the Provincial security team for Eastern Province. Hon. Mahamud was with me and I can testify that not a single officer from the Criminal Investigation Department is undertaking the investigations. As of yesterday, three people were killed and two were severely injured later on. We do not know what will happen tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. This Minister and this Government are responsible for that massacre."
