Some of these people were beaten with rungus, others were slashed with pangas while others were shot dead. A lady, who was temporarily abducted was later released without any harm being done to her and is helping the police with investigations. Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, among those who were shot dead were three traders from Maili Nne in Eldoret, who had gone to sell second-hand clothes at Kinyoro Market on the following day. Four local traders, and two others, sustained bullet wounds and are undergoing treatment at Kitale District Hospital. In addition, another eight people, who are residents of the area, were slightly injured, and have been treated and discharged. We suspect that the killers were known to the victims, and that is why they were killed. At the moment, we are treating the killings as criminal acts as investigations continue. Following these criminal acts, both the Provincial and District Security Intelligence Committees are on the ground conducting investigations. In addition, the Government has done the following:- (i) two suspects have been arrested and are helping the police with investigations; (ii) the District Security Intelligence Committee has held two public barazas to calm down"
