    "content": " Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. There are no constant attacks on fishermen at Karuki area. The residents of the area in question, that is Muvuria Location, are allowed to fish on one side of Kamburu Dam, while the other side belongs to Mwea National Reserve. That is a protected area; where fishing is outlawed. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, the KWS staff at Mwea National Reserve conduct regular patrols on the protected side of the dam to check on illegal fishing by residents, and protect the farms along the Thiba River from invasion by hippos. However, there was a complaint by Mr. John Ireri Njeru who, on 12 December, 2005, was found fishing in the restricted areas of Kamburu Dam which fall under the Mwea National Reserve by two KWS rangers, while on routine patrol. The complainant alleged to have been attacked by the rangers as a way of downplaying his illegal fishing activities as he claimed that, that side of the dam had more fish than the other side. Since then, there have been no other complaints by the fishermen against KWS staff. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
