    "content": "Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister is an experienced officer in the line of Provincial Administration. In fact, he was my Provincial Commissioner (PC) for many years in Kakamega. As a matter of fact, he knows the challenges that young officers go through under the hands of aged and experienced officers. I would like the Minister to take this matter very seriously because I have an interest in it. The young officer is my cousin’s daughter. She will be 25 years old in a few months’ time. The DC by the name of Joseph Montari, who is around 58 years old, and who has been harassing this girl, has given his side of the story. The Minister has not heard the side of the story of this girl. The truth is that the 70 litres of fuel that the young lady was given was paid for by the Chairman of the CDF of Rongai Constituency. That is a fact. After the young officer was assaulted, she recorded a statement at Naivasha Police Station. That is a fact. He has not been told that. Before I ask my supplementary question, in agreement with hon. Olago, I want to request that this matter be taken up by a joint Committee of the Administration and National Security Committee, the Lands and Natural Resources Committee, and the Committee on Equal Opportunity. Having said so, could the Minister tell us, if he is, indeed, satisfied that this girl was transferred normally, how it occurred that she received a telephone call from the DC at around 3.00 pm, which has been recorded, ordering her to leave before the end of the day? If this was true, how come that it was the DOI who gave her consent to take the Land-Rover? The girl was professional. She only signed the work ticket because she knew that Government vehicles are not driven without authorisation. Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, the Minister also needs to tell us why he has not investigated the fact that there are two bodies in question. The first body was, last year, buried in breach of a court order, and the permission to bury that body was given by Mr. Joseph Montari. The second body is the one which has led this girl into problems. She stopped the burial because she wanted the court order upheld. So, between the DC and the young DO, who should have been punished? Is it the DO who upheld the court order or the DC, who breached the court order? By the way, when he did so last year, hell broke loose."
