Mr. Speaker, Sir, on May 10th 2011 while responding to Question No.4 of that time filed by myself in respect of Messers. Lucas Odinga, Godfrey Egesa and Maria Gregory, all deceased, who were killed in cold blood at Maninga Village of Sigulo Island in Uganda on 18th April 2011 at 3.00 a.m., the Assistant Minister for Foreign Affairs, Mr. Richard Onyonka confirmed on the Floor of this House that the Kenya Government was conducting investigations into this grave matter in consultations with Ugandan authorities and further that the Government will not only get to the root of the homicide but also explore compensation for families of the deceased. I therefore, seek a Statement from the Minister for Foreign Affairs which Statement he should respond and clarify the following:- 1. Four months down the line since the Assistant Minister made this commitment, what is the status of the said investigations into the killing of these three innocent Kenyans who hailed from Sisenye Sub-Location of Budalang’i Constituency of Busia County? 2. Has the Government of Uganda co-operated in the said investigations? If not, how does the Kenyan Government intend to settle this matter? 3. Could the Minister further explain why the death certificates and autopsy reports for the deceased continue to be withheld by the Kenyan Government and confirm when the same will be released to the respective families? 4. How far has the Government gone with plans to compensate families of the three deceased?"
