In the Statement, he wanted clarification on the following: The number of people killed since January this year and the circumstances under which they were killed; how many among the deceased were business persons; capacity of the security personnel in Migori to manage insecurity in terms of mobility and capacity; and, the immediate measures that the Ministry is putting in place to resolve insecurity in the constituency and Migori District. I wish to state the following: Since January 2011, there have been eight incidents of crime during which, ten people have been killed in Migori. The incidents are as follows:- On 4th February, 2011, George Odhiambo Oduke, a taxi driver, was hired by two customers.

On 14th February, 2011, John Okoth was waylaid by a gang of four as he drove into his Milimani Estate home. He was shot on the head as he stepped out of his motor vehicle.
