    "content": " Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. While I thank the hon. Member for the good sentiments that he has made about giving this Statement, I would like to inform the House that during investigations, police were reliably informed that prior to his death the deceased had travelled to Nairobi, Ngara Stage and confronted a rival Sacco that broke away from Gatundu Travellers Sacco demanding to know how the rival group had secured a stage within Ngara and an office at Kobil Petrol Station. During the incident, it is understood that a confrontation ensued leading to passengers being forcibly removed from the matatus and ordered to board others. It was also found out that the Ngara/Kobil Petrol Station management advised the deceased to write a note and press for a meeting with the chairman of the station which was arranged for 1st August, 2012. This was not to be as he was murdered before then. Some five suspects are being investigated in connection with the murder and appropriate action will be taken once investigations are completed. However, it is imperative to note that this is a likely case of a tough war between rival matatu groups which normally happens in many business undertakings."
